Custom Mando :D (Pic Heavy)

[Aden Kyramud]

Metal is the way to go ner vod!

 

[Ordeyn]

Yeah, once I finish this that's what I want to try: metal.

 

[kalika]

hmm... sounds like a good idea to me... not with my kit because mine would be REALLY heavy if it were metal, but a kit like yours would be fine.

 

[BrenSett]

When you're ready for metal Ordeyn..Drop me a line. I know a few people who work it.

 

[gymbeau2000]

Awesome seeing you in your kit finally. Your thread is the one that inspired me into knowing I could make my custom Mando.

 

[kalika]

hey Ord'ika how's the blasters and such things coming along?

 

[hbrika]

I like the look, it is coming along nicely

 

[Zuka]

BUMPED, Nice work on it Ordeyn, Oh and here's a shocker, I'm actually working , Well not anymore, on a lack of supplies

 

[Ordeyn]

Okay, I'm not dead! I've just been ridiculously busy. Soccer season is starting soon and I'm trying to home school Algebra 2 over this summer...which is barely happening. But a itty bitty bit of progress is that I removed the masking from my shin plates! Yay!

Weapons. Right. I'll just have to use the power of my mind for now.

I'm trying to get back to working on this. Hopefully I'll have something to show you all soonish...

 

[kalika]

hey she lives! Ord'ika if u need any help with hardware (weapons) I'd be happy to help out if I can.

 

[Ordeyn]

Thanks, kal. you'll be the first one I go to if I crash and fail.

Pics of the shins:

With the boots I'm wearing, which aren't my actual boots, I made the shin to fit over the ankle of the boot and sort of move with it the way I walk (hence all the action shots). I used a buckle on the lower part so I could adjust it to the whatever boots i'm wearing. I did buy some black boots, I should show them to you guys.

Until next time...

 

[Zuka]

I LIEK THIS ALOT...... Liek isn't good enough I LURV IT

 

[kalika]

gettin' there Ord'ika... it looks like those shin plates will work quite nicely

 

[Zuka]

They also look like they could take a beating

 

[BrenSett]

Doing great! Still watching this one with a lot of interest. Can't wait to see more

 

[Fractal Fett]

hey guys! I AM alive. your kit looks AMAZING ord'ika!

 

[Aden Kyramud]

OYA!!! A'den K. reporting in!!! Everything is looking good Ord'ika!!!

 

[Ordeyn]

I know how much you all love pictures so I've prepared a little feast:

This is the new hardware I installed to keep my thigh plates from falling down my legs...

...I took some old straps that used to be on a old pair of my brothers shorts--and were green so I spray painted them--and sewed them to the clips.

Lower half of my armor all together. (Boots are under the jumpsuit legs)

Lower half again. (Jumpsuit legs tucked into boots this time, which I think looks better)

These are my lovely boots that I absolutely fell in love with when I saw them. They were the perfect pair for me cause I can wear them with my armor and with regular clothes too.

Better shot of the pant leg on the outside of the boot.

Okay, so, questions: does the lower half look funny without knees/do you think I need them?
And do you think having the pant legs tucked into the boot is better than having the pant leg on the outside?

 

[kalika]

looks good, but yeah I'd def add some knees, it just looks a lil odd without 'em

 

[Aden Kyramud]

Yar, knees will help. Just make sure you make em outta something good and strong, they take a serious beating on troops. But other than that, it looks amazing!!!
