Greetings all,
per my initial thread in the armor section, I'm starting on a custom mandolorian suit and need a LOT of advice.

In this case, who makes the best buckets and what materials are good or bad?

For the record I'm a BIG fan (6'6" and around 360 lbs)
if that matters in this case

Hi,
You'll get lots of help and advice here. Additionally click on my banner for a link to the Custom Mandalorians board.

also you may want to search the threads. I found these that might be some helpful reading on armor
http://www.thedentedhelmet.com/showthread.php?t=5223&highlight=fiberglass+sintra

This link here also has some feedbacks from Fetts that own Fiberglass armor
(basically some issues at attachings your armor to your vest)
hope that helps

and good luck!

all my best,

Does anyone have a reccomendation on who makes the best helmets?

thanks!

Ooh, that's something touchy and tough to answer. There are a lot of good makers on this board. I would suggest searching thru and finding them by way of hints who does make buckets and ask them for pics of their work. But, I don't think the mods like for members other than the makers to advertise.

Good luck.

yeah I understand about open advertising. Thanks!
