My New Style Mando Armour

I have no weapons just yet, but was thinking of scratch building a rife to use with my outfit. I'm thinking of a rifle about the same lenght as a Stormtrooper rilfe, no need for a full lenght job. At least with a ST type it can be holstered to my leg. I have found a few things around the place that look like they might work for know. I'll post some pics later today....
 
Well here goes, I have been working on the look of my Rifle, its been made out of Plumming pipe and sintra, with a hand grip from a tape gun. Having the tape gun reversed the plate provides a guard for the hand. The scope is just a test.... Once its all rubbed down and filled, i can under coat it then finish off with a black coat. Then weather it a little, and add more detail.

Here is a pic of my Upper body Armour, now with its final undercoat of paint. Also in this is my Helemet, all the shown Armour is now ready for the Camo Job later this week.... I had to light this pic with a lamp, (Mood-lighting) due to the poor lighting and the fact it's all black now........
Also I have added a pic showing the Armour on my brown vest, made from pleather.

I have been working on my rifles scope today, the scope is made out of part of a push bike pump, and some light fitings, with a green lens. It will now be mounted onto the the rifles left side. Also are some pics of the Scope where it will be mounted....

The rifle will be a duel weapon, the upper section of the rilfe will be used as a Blaster, like the Stormtroopers, and the lower section with the longer barrel section will be the Sniper rilfe used along with the Scope. I have already made the cooling holes for the blaster section, but have not added this to the rilfe yet. This part will be added after the rilfe is painted, and will show a metal mesh under it, visable though the holes. The pic below will give you an idea what I mean....... I'll keep you posted how the Weapon and the Armour is going........

Bro, I like where this project is going! The armor is a fresh new way to look at it.

MUCH RESPECT to anyone who scratch bulids a weapon and makes it look SW!

Excellent job.
 
I have worked on my Helmet also, it's now got its final coat of primer, and has its darker undercoat, ready for Camo look. The Helmet now has it's visor, which makes the Helmet look cool, as do all Mando's.
