2nd set of trash can armor

lol... nah, I'm a nurse by trade, but only an lvn/lpn need to get my bachelors so I can make a little more $ since my mortgage is like $3400, but my take home WAS like $2400, it's good that my parents are helping with the difference that the wife can't make up.

So as for the lecture i'm watchin' its on dvd so I can take CLEP Excelsior and Dante's tests to test out of college classes w/o actually goin' back to college.

Tomorrow is job hunt day again. I'll be optimistic (for a change)

here's the best i can do to show the color shift.

remember that each of the dark spots on the armor is actually reflective and changes color, but is at random angles, the real life effect is really cool.

I'm gonna print me out another bucket so I can start on the white bucket, I hope I can make it more custom.

I used to have a coffee cup that said 'your only young once, but you can be immature forever' XLNT words to live by.

I know a place that I should be able to get a job, but it's like 25 miles away. If I don't have any inteviews by Friday, I guess I gotta go 4 it.

Back to the armor, yeah, I thought the hardware was gonna be the hardest, but software is the hard part. Gotta pay someone else to do some of the work (vest) but then it feels like ya know I didn't do it myself, sheesh, oh well, maybe I'll go to wal*mart and get some fabric to do a vest, my sister-in-law has a sewing machine, maybe she'll show me how to do it.:cheers
 
I can't believe I haven't seen this yet!!! Kandosii Adonian!!! I love it!!! Glad to hear you're doing well on the job hunt!!!:cheers

You're stuff is AWESOME!!!
:cheers

Hehe I'm also obsessed with doing it myself. ;) Follow the patterns and you should be okay. And make sure you practice if you've never used a sewing machine. :) Generally a good thing to do. :p Good luck to you!
 
Thank's A'den, I think I'm good for standard Mando beskar'gam, I think when I finish mine and the kids, I definately want to make a more custom one, like this: (I found this pic, who ever made it, please don't get mad, I think its awesome) Actually I posted this pic some where else here, and it is from KOTOR MMO, but still dont wanna get anyone mad for me posting it.

Ordeyn, I think I may get a 3xl tee shirt and cut it apart and use it as a pattern for some white pleather or something.

I see that Cod'ika used black quilted batting or something for his vest, and it looks really cool (proly not so hot as pleather)
 
lol ill post some pics of just the vest,the vest itself doesnt get to hot,its everything else lmao, the fabric is light weight so thats a plus,the velcro is sewed onto it and it holds the plates really nice but if you ever go metal (like i plan) it probably be best to invest something else.

glad to hear that your narrowing in on your target,and that your armor is coming along,its looking really sweet! keep it up!!!

Pleather is deathly hot!!! Find anything that works and is cooler...I was at Cactus Con in my beskar'gam, in January, and it was hot...:wacko
