Wulfe, my custom mando...00.02% done....

[WhiteWulf]

hey all
i finally got started on my Custom mando, mainly the chestplate. i haven't written a full background story for my custom mando, white-wulf Tiberius or 'Wulfe' for short, but in short hes a corellian-turned-mando, with a split personality problem. meet him in a bar and hes a nice guy, maybe buy you a jawa beer. but the next he'll hunt your butt down for the price on yer skull.

heres something i did in Paint, to show you the colours/patterns i will do on the chest.

and heres the rough chestplate so far, made of sintra, needs some sanding and evening out still.

You're making progress, I'll give you that.
I love the design you're shootin' for, wish I could've thought of something like that for my armor.

very nice design for the chest, really goes with the nick name, so ure writin a bac kstory eh??? youll have to pm the back story, ive been workin on details for mine yet, but i always like to see what others come up with and welcome others to pm a back story

 

[WhiteWulf]

well t the moment the backstory is cobbled together from what i used when i played star wars galaxies, and stuff in my dusty skull, so, not much to look at

well after raiding B&Q yesterday, and being bored lastnight, i stayed up untill 4.20am making this....

i picked up some bostik 'sewsimple' glue and used that to reinforce it, its a latex based glue so itsa all rubbery and bends easily'.

woot girth belt!

Nice girth belt. WAAYYY better than anything I could do.

Out of curiousity, how much did it cost to make this?

 

[GrottyFurball]

lose a button there, cheif?jk

It looks decent, your paint scheme looks kinda like german splinter camo

ROFL just noticed that! and german splinter camo...ou just gave me an idea for the rest of the armour.......

Zurath, it cost about £12 to make

What kind of cord did you use? Was that braided leather cord, I can't really tell? I've seen a couple girth belts that are basically a leather belt used for weight lifting which has the cord etc hot glued directly to the leather weight lifting belt. I believe it's based on Jango's girth belt. While I've already bought a mohair girth belt, I may go ahead and try for one similar to jango's...Looks great so far, keep up the great work!

 

[WhiteWulf]

What kind of cord did you use?

thanks Dha, its just cotton cord, used two bags of 45ft x 1/8"

Thanks for the inspiration Wulfe, I've had problems with the underbelt system I wear with my kit and wanted to replace it with something FAR better, that also looks good under my belt. Your girthbelt has inspired me to make my own, which I started upon tonight. :cheers
