Mando Mercs is a good site, they are doing a good job, but some costumes I see accepted in that club is kinda like:
"What are you guys trying to accomplish?"
NO offense, but that is what I see with some of the mandos there.
I run into a problem as mentioned earlier in this thread:
"I agree to a degree, but at the same time you are not really helping anyone out my dishonestly reinforcing low quality efforts.
There is so much knowledge here that even on a budget, you can learn to create very nice and accurate armor. Certainly over time, this becomes somewhat expensive, but it all does not need to happen over night. For $25.00 one can pick up a 8' x 4' sheet of sintra that goes a long way (GE Polymershapes). Many go straight to paint before giving a thought to fitting. Many grab random toy guns, hit them with paint, and call it a day. I realize that some are more experienced crafters than others, but I am of the opinion that anyone exercising enough determination and patience can become an expert. Criticism is largely subjective, but blindly reinforcing every effort neglects the criticized valuable potential. The lower the standard, the more the entire group deviates from its potential."
