3 sets of "kiddie" armor started...

[Muad Dib]

Two rough-cut sintra sets up top; 6 year-old Sarah's on left and 11 Year-old Stephen's on the right.
The bottom, pink and purple set was Sarah's from 2 1/2 years ago.
It will now be baby Dominic's and repainted "Protector" green:

Although you can't really tell with the flash, here's Sarah's sanded and beveled:

Fett 4 Real has already jabbed me for the little heart on the little set but Sarah really, REALLY wanted it there.

Awesome... Mini mandos are fun. Can't wait to see more.

I've been dragging my feet on doing these a while so my goal is to have them all done by March or April (or the kids get too big for them). I do work a lot so time is sparse.

 

[Muad Dib]

Got the itty-bitty pink set with F4R's widdle heart sanded down and ready for the green tomorrow. The shoulders and knees are ready for yellow if I can just get up and get them painted before it snows.

Hey, get your own WIP thread!

 

[Fett 4 Real]

Yay for green is what i meant to say

 

[Muad Dib]

I painted all the baby's armor today but the green is taking forever to set so I'm waiting to remove the masking to show you everything.

Here's the baby cod that I made today before any paint, though:

 

[Muad Dib]

Okay, here we go! The flash washed out the first pic but the mustard/toothpaste technique worked well enough for this set. I still need to trim the silver with the yellow and mist the green with some black but it's getting there! I also forgot the center diamond when I shot the pic:

Also, I couldn't help goofing off a bit. Jess warned me that "If I wake him, I deal with him!":

Awwww.... <3

 

[Fett 4 Real]

how cute

 

[Muad Dib]

I put all the yellow damage on today and I think it helped out the look:

 

[Fett 4 Real]

its so tiny

 

[Muad Dib]

Yeah, he might have about 3-4 months use out of it tops. The cod came out a bit small so I have to re-make that part, though.

Great job man!!!

 

[Muad Dib]

I made the backplate today. I may or may not put the bottom notch in it.

What a brilliant thread.

Lovin your work mate.

 

[Muad Dib]

"Brilliant"?
Thank you for the praise! I tend to get inspired ideas from time to time. ^__-

 

[Muad Dib]

Got the back painted today. Awww.:

 

[burnsy]

LOL, reason it's brilliant is I have three kids, all boys and my youngest is 9 months so I can so relate to this.

Just showed the wife and it even mustered a small smile which is VERY rare with anything Star Wars!
