Thanks. My general idea for the helmet is to go with the half visor deal and the grill. The green visor I am not entirly sure how I will accomplish that but I am having a plan of taking two L.E.D. lights and strapping them to the side of the helmet. My idea is based around a mando medic so what better way then to have lights on the side of a helmet. The picture was just a brief sketch up of what my idea is around. I am still looking into the design above the t-visor and am not entirly sure just yet.

The basic armor design I am getting down slowly and will have pictures up soon.

Here is just a basic design of a symbol I might put on one of the chest peaces of the armor. I think it would look really sweet. My other idea is to take the mandalorian symbols and spell my characters name out on the armor.

Basically, have the name Tal written on one of the chest peaces in the upper corner of the armor and possibly have it on the side of the helmet as well. Here is also a quick look at of the black mask I will be wearing when the helmet is on as well as the weapon that I will be using. My nephew does not use it anymore so I took it and decided to have it in for my mando medic armor.

What do you all think so far?

I would say might be a little hot, but seeing as you can sweat it out in full military dress, I'm sure you'll manage

Yeah that military dress has prepared me for what I am about to endure when my mando costume is finished.

I've just made a true type font for mandalorian symbols, PM me if you want it to install.

(That's anyone, not just C720)

Also just noticed how much that nerf rifle is just like the colonial marine pulse rifle from Aliens

Well I went to the Phoenix Cactus Comi-Con and had a great time. I had the chance of wearing a new costume that came in mind. It looked dressed with a bunch of other cos-players. Here are a few pictures of me in the costume.

All in all there maybe a lot of pictures but I must say we had fun. The costume looked great and functioned well. However, my friend gave me the idea and I sort of agree with him. I am possibly going to change it up more into a ninja-sith costume. A lot of the peace like the long sleeved shirt, camo vest, and camo pants will be going away but there will be some add-ons that will aid to the costume being more efficent and more ninja-like. Here is where I will post updates of not only my ninja-sith costume but my mandalorian costume (under construction) as well as an ISB imperial officer. So watch out for updates. Many thanks!!!!

We live in Phoenix and I saw you there My sister's the one with the jeans and purple blouse sitting on the short wall behind the two of you. Her husband is in the R2D2 Builder's Guild and we were hanging out with the Rebel Legion. It was quite fun. Hope to see you at the SDCC 2009.

I doubt that I will be attending SDCC 2009. Counting that school is actually holding me back in a lot of places espically when this year 2009 is my HS grad year.

As you guys have seen before my design for mandalorian armor in the chest and stomach areas is around Rahm Kota's armor design with my own twist to it. Well here is a sketched picture of my chest and stomach armor so far.

Reason for no color is because I am trying to think of a good design to put my mando medic into. There is not just going to be those standard solid colors that you see. I am pushing into a unique design then what you would normally see with mandalorian medics. More pictures are to come of my helmet and if a design comes forth then I'll post pics of my design

Perhaps if you make it a little less square?

With the two chest pieces perhaps taking an angle off the edges?

You may also want to compensate for chest comfort as well.

But it's your design

I can see through that much. I kind of knew that you guys where going to be there. Hence the reason why I dressed up in a custom made sith out-fit that I did myself.

Sorry its been a while guys. I am pretty busy with my school stuff and the whole "Graduation" deal out of high school.

But as far as progress goes lets just say it is slow. On the up-side I do have some ideas coming to that will help me out with the construction and the over-all appearance of my armor. With me and my family heading out of town for spring break it will be a while before I post on here but once we get back I will be sure to share pictures and move forward on sketches of my armor
