Ferra's Kal Skirata
« on: Dec 15, 2016, 03:12 PM »
And this is it, I´m gonna try and do papa Kal.

Its an iconic, short(just like me) and one-of-a-kind character that I think I'm really gonna enjoy!

Taking into consideration Botchandango's topic I got the templates for both Jango and Bobba armor that I'll be cutting in 3mm sintra(or at least part of them):

Chest / Back : Bobba / Jango  - Cut, pic below
Shoulders : Jango  - Cut
Gauntlets : Bobba
Cod : Jango
Thigh : Jango
Knee : Bobba
Shin : Jango  - 50% Cut
Boot : Jango  - Cut

Still needs some cleaning etc:



Should I try it in 5mm?



Some questions now:

Where's a good place for undersuit?

Bootwise as long as they are dark brown chelsea boots with black sole its ok right?

I know AprilStormProps has an account on etsy and is a merc. HEr etsey says she is based out of Australia and ships gauntlets all around the globe, fett styled. Not sure about helmets as I am a Yank in the good ol' America ;). I think most bucket makers ship almost anywhere its just whether or not you'd want to pay their shipping and handling fees. hope that helps as I am still WIP.

Depending on the place shipping is more or less acceptable, problem is with customs fees if it's coming from outside CE...

That´s why I´d really prefer to get my stuff from Europe...

Makes complete sense vod, I was stationed over in Portugal a while back and I hated dealing with custom forms for shipping, to much of a pain.

For buckets, contact Saz.  He makes great buckets and is in Vok'Chi Clan, so he's in the UK.  Oh, and if you haven't already, follow that link and say hello on the Vok'Chi section of the boards.  Introduce yourself, and you can also ask there about gauntlet makers.  You'll probably get much more helpful responses from locals, than from us Yanks across the pond.   :D

I am inspired by Chris from the UKG and hope to get mine to look at least somewhat as good as his kit.

Thank you all for the warm welcome! Hope to get some more updates after the season's festivities!

I have seen that build over on BHG and it is impressive.

There is also a Kal approved in the Vok'Chi from one of our Scottish members.
She built it before Celebration and had it approved.

Here is the WIP. Unfortunately the armor picture links are broken. There may be something that could help though in the text info.

In my defense I have been bed ridden for the last week with a dreadfull flu. Next weekend I will probably pick my boots (travelling to Lisbon) and I´m almost ready to get my Buy'Ce too.

As I'm 5'4 I planning on a 90% scale Fett model, the so called "NoBobbleHead Mando" from Forge Props.

What do you guys say?
