Kal's Custom Mando

[Aden Kyramud]

not to be creepy but maybe some of us could share a hotel room? so we could all find a place to stay

People are probably booking already for this thing

since no one knows where it's gonna be...I dont think so...

And I know a few of us here in the Dune Sea are planning on doing that; packing as many people as we can in a room (sleeping bags FTW!!!) and splitting the cost. We're hopefully gonna get a few drivers and caravan as well. :cheers

Hey Kal, I got a question... Doy you think it's possible to dye a nomex flight suit to a deep purple? I wanna get my first Mando ready to wear.

theoretically yes, in practice I don't honestly know. It WILL lose its flame retardancy I'm pretty sure, and the existing green/tan color may foul up the dye... but yeah theoretically it is possible.

I like the trishot Kal! It is a little big, but like somebody up there said that just means it packs a big punch!

I'm not sure how I missed scribing to this thread, but I will now!

 

[kalika]

lol thanx saber! yeah I played with the trishot for awhile the day I got it, it really does have a lot of oomph behind it. I think it'll make a great piece for my gauntlet.

 

[kalika]

just so u guys don't whine about not seein' anything from me for a while... here's a consolidation of my armor concepts from start to finish... the last one is the final one. I like this too because it actually shows some of my artistic progression with drawing mandos.

I like

hey kal
do you have a set of completed armor ?
im just to lazy to look

 

[kalika]

I have about 60-70%... probably less since I decided to add some extra plates, and I'm changing up the backplate

 

[Alpha 02]

whenever you get back you should throw up a pic.. curious to see

 

[kalika]

yeah will do

 

[Jango 425]

thx man, can't wait for some progress

 

[kalika]

lol yeah me either... I really want to get this thing done! I'm workin' my tail off to get through here, get home and get moved so I can finish this thing up... the plus side is I have 35 days of leave right now, saved up. I will probably take some of that when I get to OK just to do some things that need to be done with the move, and holidays. Hopefully I'll have time to work on this too.

 

[Ordeyn]

Easy, kal, remember to breath. Looking forward to updates and nice concept progression.

 

[kalika]

lol *gasp* must *gasp* remember *gasp* something...

 

[Aden Kyramud]

lol:

You have 35 days leave...I'll see what I can do about getting your helmet done in that time...

 

[kalika]

lol yeah I've been saving up for over a year now. I'll have 37.5 by the time I get home.

 

[Alpha 02]

over a year? haha you must get paid next to nothing

 

[kalika]

lol yeah yeah... actually I think I have one of the best paying jobs in the country right now... my leave accrual is awesome tho. Honestly how many people get that many days of vacation/year.

 

[Alpha 02]

so true... how about you give me some of that flowing cash? kidding

 

[kalika]

lol if only I had any leftover! lmao So I was looking at my stuff, I have so much to do when I get home... I mean wow.
