What do you think of this armor?

didnt mean to sound harsh but i didnt think the armor looked that bad, and i didnt think that jodo casts armor was that spot on.just my opinion

1) The chest armor is all wrong for Boba - too many straight lines
( i see lots of straight line on jodo kast armor too)

2) The shoulder bells are way too narrow.
( how can you tell, it all still needs trimming )
3) Not a bad back piece but a little too rounded overall.
agreed

3) Collar plate is too skinny.
how can you tell...i cant??

I think that with most props its all up to the person finishing the item.
too much emphasis and critique is put on raw mouldings that still need a lot of work doing to them. so lets see what cookiemongoloid can do with this.

Just offering alternatives. To be honest, I really don't do much Fett armor anymore. I was simply offering the most honest critique (from my point of view only) as requested by the thread starter.

Is my armor perfect? Of course not.
Are my sk177z m@d? Not especially.
Do I know a thing or two about sintra armor? You bet.

As for the armor from Ebay, I didn't say it was crap. I'm sure a custom would look awesome. All I was saying is that it wasn't accurate for Boba even though it had Boba style battle damage.

We now return you to our regularly scheduled forum reading! :cheers

sorry...didnt mean to be harsh or disrespective

No worries amigo.

If there was a far off land for people most misunderstood on the internet, I'd be thier king.

If you are wanting FP armor or the equivalent, I would not bid on this, it would require a lot of work just to make it look descent.

i make my own,either glasfiber or metal, armor i think is the easiest thing to make.

see thats the beauty of this "hobby" you do what you can with the cash and resources and talent you have at your own disposal. It's what makes each costume unique to its owner. You buy something at first maybe because you don't have a clue how you would go about making it, or painting it, and farther along the way maybe you decide to upgrade and buy what you deem a better piece or take on the challenge and excitement of making it yourself.

It's the natural evolution of how we all learn to do these things, and it's places like this that help nuture and encourage that desire, so kudos, have fun with it. No one starts out as a master, were all Padwans at some point

What happend to the cardboard armor when we were like 6 years old.
