High five! I'm a home schooler! Er, was.

It might just be the photo. I did take it with my phone. My buy'ce is sitting here in front of me and looks okay but isn't perfect. The dome could be a little flatter, but I think it's all right. How about you guys? Think it should be a little flatter?

Thank you!

What, you graduated early??? Either that or oyur in *gulps* normal school. (dunh, dunh, duuuuuuunh!!!)

Unless you are going for a boba bucket, I think you are o.k.

 

[kalika]

hey... I went to public school and state college, nothin' wrong with education en masse. At least not in a small town! lol jk, Ord'ika I'll be working on ur sketch over the next day or two.

Hey there I graduated High School with the Class of 2009. I am starting school in another week which means more time to work on mando armor for me. Maybe I will be able to finish the armor peaces up before school even starts. That way the only other things I would have to do is paint the weapon and helmet. Not to bad if I do say so myself.

But yeah your helmet is good....keep it up vod.

 

[Alpha 02]

I start in a week and a half but being in high school gives me time to work on my mando

Flatter at the top I would say, it still has a little more point to it.

Always best to get it right at this stage than realise 3/4 of the way through

 

[Menok]

I think it's okay as it is, the helmet doesn't have to be exactly the same as boba/jango's
I'm making mine similar to the TOR version (BH)

 

[Ordeyn]

I think I want it flatter. My bucket's kinda got this bubble head look to it. LoL... I start school tomorrow and today's my mom's birthday so I doubt I'll get anything done for a while. But I aim to finish it this year.

I was a homeschooled up till college.

The helmet looks really good! Slap some bondoglass on it, and then fibreglass the inside, add a visor... and VIOLA! (sorry it's not purple. )

:cheers

[Lifeburn]

Man I wish I was homeschooled. I hated high school so I dropped out when I was 16
But college is soooo much better, I enjoy going to school now...start back tomorrow on my 2nd year of a Game design program.....sorry for the off topic.

Ordeyn your armor and helmet are looking very good so far, just make sure you get it done by Halloween so you can show it off!

 

[DocOutlands]

VERY nice work! I sat down and read thru the entire thread today, because I will be building THREE sets of female armor out of trashcans in the near future. Ok, near enough that I bought two trashcans *today* as a start. Fortunately, two of the females are quite small - 9 and 4 - so I won't need as much trashcan material *&* won't need to dish the breastplates. Excellent thread and very gorgeous work.

Oh, and we don't start our homeschooling back up until Sept. I think I'll put armor-making on the cirriculum this year and have the two older kids work on their own armor and have the verd'ika (that right? littlest one?) "help" with hers.

 

[Shuk Om]

Yeah. Homeschooling is awesome, for those it works for.

I was homeschooled from 2nd grade on through High School (finished at 12), and I loved it. I just ran through everything really fast, and didn't have to wait for everybody else to finish. My sister hated it though, and wound up going to private school from Jr. High on.

Works for some, not for others, I suppose.

And Doc, verd'ika means "little soldier/warrior". Ad'ika would be "little son/daugher". You're the coolest buir ever. I wish my schooling had included Mando making.

 

[kalika]

Ad'ika also means little one... as in not your child but someone elses, or someone who is small in stature.

 

[Shuk Om]

Very true, Kal. Thanks. My Mando'a is a little rusty

 

[kalika]

no prob happy to help out

 

[adonian]

Yea my high school dayz were terrible, c's and d's all the way, but when I went to college, a's and b's, I guess it's because I got to CHOOSE WHAT TO TAKE, (mostly.. I still need a few classes for my Degree).

 

[kalika]

hmm... sounds familiar, except I had a lil better results in HS, just not good enough to get any scholarships . however... did just fine in college. In fact... have to start my masters soon.

 

[adonian]

I do however have a BS in BS Actually I am working on my BSN, then later will go for my MSN, but higher education is worth it.

Around here, the terms would be interchangeable. If anyone goes to the range, even the youngest HAS TO GO!!! Even tho she doesn't shoot yet. YET.
