Quick question:  What glue do you use for all your sintra bonding?

I use cyanoacrylate adhesive. We commonly call it here as "shoe glue"  :D

Wow.
I like what you did with the hose and the sintra.
Really wish there were templates for that

Scratch-building is awesome Vod Aran. :)
Continued working this time for my right arm, detailing complete.

Thanks Vod! :)
For my right pauldron, i wanted to have something like a creature's head embossed on it. And for this i researched creatures of Star Wars that were somehow related to the Mandalorians. I found the Narglatch.





After a careful planning i begin to scratch built in on the right pauldron using the same material, sintra.













Built the ears.. Wasn't satisfied with the nose so i changed and built closer to the eyes...





For the last parts, built the neck and the torns.

Taking in consideration Vod Natan's opinion, yeah i guess i went overboard with my design. After a couple days checking WIPs in the forums. I decided to take out the Narglatch symbol and decided to maintain the pauldrons simplier form. Not really a big issue on my part because sintra very easy to work with. Then I applied paint and distressing on the pauldrons.

Haha.. that's ok Vod Natan,,, i took it off but made sure i could return it just in case the App Team would approve the creature build. I did have second thoughts at first because it's was quite complex. And technically, can Beskar be forged in that form? Still waiting for answers. :)

Working on my Shin guards. These ones I took from the templates. But I added some details on the sides.












Some paint jobs for the last few days..
















I decided to make a pair of Faulds to match my Pauldrons.. used Sintra as well...

May I ask what glue you use for all your sintra layering and binding?  Everything I choose fails...

Not sure what he uses (looking good BTW) but Loctite super glue will chemically weld two pieces of sintra together.

Im using Cyanoacrylate Glue.. Here we call it Shoe Glue. But i think Loctite has the same chemical composition so i guess it will also work.

Yes, Loctite super glue is cyanoacrylate based.

Test fitting the plates over the flakvest i made. i use post screws as my method of attachment..




Also test fitted the belt with faulds attached..






Back to Work...
I saw these dog collars with side release locks and they seem to look sturdy for my shin and thigh guard. So i bought sets and will now replace my existing ones. For a couple of times my old ones snaps off during rigid movements so i guess its time to replace them with tougher sets. Upgrade begins...










Replaced the strapping of my Thigh Plates.. dog straps are more durable than the ones i previously used.




Bought a yard of fur from a local textile store and installed it on my shoulder plates. This gives my armor a more warrior feel. Kinda love the results. Will also install fur on my faulds.











UPDATE - - - - -

After a quick field test my shoulder plates acquired some damages, so i need to replace particulars parts which i considered strengthening



Also my faulds construction was not good, making some my movements difficult. So i decide to dismantle everything, reconstruct, and made the orientation of plates fold inwards, making it more possible for me to sit conveniently.





Attached the fur to match my shoulder plates.
