My snow mando - Finished!

Wow, thats a lot of work and it shows. Can't wait to see it all finished.

Thanks, alot of painful work went into this so far!

Nice job on the armor. Love the detail! Nice job ner vod!

Thank you!

Oh trust me, you have no idea how many evenings we left the shop with sore hands. I'm never making armor pieces as big as that shin armor out of thick aluminum again. :cry

Yeah those shins were rough. They came out looking great though!

Thanks!

Ok, well I've been broke for the last couple of weeks so I haven't really done much to my armor. I've added snaps and got everything attached. Also got my gaunts from Rimshot but haven't had the money to do anything to them yet. So here's some pics of the gaunts and me test fitting the armor so far.

The jumpsuit is a little baggy but I will take care of that later.

More updates!

Got my cod piece. This was made by Novall because it was out of my skill range. He did a great job!

Also, I got my ammo belt the other day. Ordered it from Suzy's Surplus on Ebay.

I'm going to start painting the cod piece and working on my gaunts later today. So hopefully I will have more updates shortly.

Got some more work done the past few days. Got the cod and chest diamond painted, just need to dirty them up. Also started working on my gaunts to make them more sturdy. I started applying bondo to the inside, then after ond and a half pieces I ran out of what little bondo I had. So I went and got some bondo glass to finish the other pieces. After the bondo set for a while I will put the hinges and velcro on them, then paint.

Also got my chest display from Fettronics today! Freakin sweet. Just need to figure out how to attach it to the chest piece.

Well, here's pics....

I'M jellous vod, I guess when I get more money I can catch up ;)

I actually haven't spent that much money on the actual pieces for the costume. Maybe a few hundred bucks.

But buying all the little things like paint, snaps, different types of glue and bondo, thats the stuff that really adds up. I've spent way more money than I care to admit just on the stuff you never see :facepalm

Well, I'm now in a mad dash to get everything finished by halloween. Pretty much all I have left is to finish painting my gauntlets and paint my bucket. (Which is a Rubies :-[ , my helmet from GB will never get here in time.) After I'm done with the painting I have to make a few minor adjustments to the armor and I'll be ready to go...for halloween that is. I still won't be able to apply for membership for a few more weeks when I can really make everything look good.

So here's what I'm working on now..
