Fractal-Fett's custom Mando

[Fractal Fett]

Yeah... next year hopefully as either a fully-armored G.I.Joe or as a SUPER heavy mando.

 

[Ordeyn]

Fun! Bet the interview was exciting. Nice armor, btw.

 

[Fractal Fett]

Thanks Ordeyn!!! Yeah the interview was fun, if I had known they were EW, I probably would have freaked out. I was being checked out by the channel 5 newscrew (local san diego) but they decided against an interview.

 

[Blue jay]

Very nice...
Can't believe ya got interviewed, even if they insulted you afterwards...
Your armor and helmet looked awesome.
Not much more I can add.

 

[Fractal Fett]

When did they insult me???

 

[Blue jay]

Uhh...
Not sure if this counts as an insult to you, as a lot of people take certain insults as compliments...
He called you a geek and nerd.

 

[Blue jay]

Oh yes, and I almost forgot, UNBELIEVABLY good armor, ner vod!

 

[Fractal Fett]

Thanks, and I think he was more insulting Comic-con, than me particularly.


It was a quick 3 hour job with some extra sintra lying around. tip to making armor..........
wait for it............ JIGSAW!!!

 

[Aden Kyramud]

...or bandsaw...works great too!!!

 

[Blue jay]

JIGSAW! CHAINSAW! BANDSAW!
VRRRRRRRRMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM *Squelch* RRRRRRMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRMMMMMMMMMMMMmm.....There! My new mando armor!
*Looks at misshappen lump of plastic*
''you sure that's armor, boy?''
''Nope, but what the heck, most people don't even know what mando armor looks like!''.

Sad, but very, very true.

 

[Blue jay]

Or was that very, very sad but true ?

 

[Blue jay]

Or maybe very, very sadly true?
But now I'm rambling...sorry, all moderators!

 

[Blue jay]

Anyway, I'm thinking of just running around the neighborhood looking for sintra...
Though my dad thinks that I'm going to get some kind of disease *AGAIN* if I use any kind of chemical plastic.

 

[Blue jay]

And, ner vod, you can lie all you want about the 3 hour job, but I know it took longer than that.
NOBODY shapes and cuts out? and paints the armor in 3 hours.
So you can't fool me .

 

[Blue jay]

Not to mention sanding...

 

[Commander720]

It's not that hard to do BlueJay. True it took me three days to shape and cut my armor peaces but in the long run it turned out really good. If one knows what they are doing then it can happen. A friend made a set of armor in 15 minutes. Really its not that hard.

 

[Blue jay]

Commander, that's either amazing or an extremely exaggerated lie...
You're using cardboard, though...he's using plastic.

 

[Commander720]

I would not lie to anybody. In fact it took me at least twenty minutes to cut out my peaces of armor. But in those three day I was able to fold and fit the armor to my form. Now I have to add a smoother surface to the top of my armor so no cardboard lines would show through.

And it's not a lie BlueJay he told me himself through myspace.

I think he was being facetious. THanks for the comment, and actually, the whole build, helmet, guns, armor, paint, kama, holsters pistols and shins, took only about 7 hurs total, but that chaingun is the best thing I have created (next to my scratchbuilt E-11 of course. )

 

[Commander720]

Hey; you did a great job. If I had the paint, padding, attaching material that I need then my armor would already be finished aside from the helmet. But all in all you did a great job. You must of taken a break as well during the painting stage of your armor as well.
