What armor parts are folks looking for the most?

Have you tried pre-drying it in a hot box for a day? You can make a hot box out of plywood, with a plain light bulb in the bottom as a heater.

I've tried several things, including something like you mentioned, but I still end up with a batch of plastic that works maybe 1 out of every 4 sheets. I just decided to stick with Kydex when I need something like ABS- its more expensive, but much more reliable.

OK, I've has several people ask about clone armor- I have to take a look at all the factors (spare time being the most important) to see if I can take on accepting orders for this. I'll post something here and/or in the cargo hold when I decide.

If I were to make the clone armor, the material would still be styrene, and the parts would still need to be trimmed, etc. The cost would probably be somewhere between $500-$700 for a set that doesn't include the helmet or boots.

I could also of course do individual parts in needed.

I'm wondering how many folks would be interested?

If anyone wants anything on the list, please let me know now.

I just took on a job for some movie props- shooting begins in mid-February, so I'll likely have little free time very soon. I may have to put the offer on hold for a little while if it gets too crazy.

Thanks!

One thing I didnt realize (wich is fine) is these are all designed for Jango... not Boba... just so somebody dosnt make the same mistake I did. Good stuff though!!!

whats the difference between jango and boba's gauntlets:confused
(sorry, still sortof a newbie with this stuff)
i'm most likely interested in a pair because i'm not worried about movie accuracy just yet.
if you plan on doing some boba gauntlets, i would definately buy those
 
Hi, Its almost been a month now since i last heard from you (even though i have pm'ed you since). The armour i ordered still hasn't arrived, and i was wondering when it would.

I ordered and paid for:

2 gauntlets (right and left)
1 back piece
1 cod piece
and a set of knees (with resin bits if you had them - you said you might be able to send some)

Hope to hear from you soon.

i'm thinking those gauntlets would be a good step for me. my last pair suck. but i'm curious, does it come with the flamethrower housing?
