1 blaster finished... until upgrades. I think it's got that Star Warsie feel. Offset scope and tech you can recognize but not really. This was my 1st try at weathering and I feel comfortable enough to try it on our plates and buckets. Used metallic silver spray paint on a brush and black acrylic wash.

Still WIP.

Here is the upper body armor all rought in.  Real happy with the collar & packplate. A little heat and bend here and there, tighten up velcro in places and it should be ready for some paint.

Trauma plates will be added as I go along.

It's looking great vod! They're shaped to you very well. 

I think your ab plate is going to need a bit of a trim to be in compliance with this part of the CRL:
Quote
If a Boba or Jango Fett ab plate is being used, the height of the plate must be approximately 1/2 the measurement of the width.

If you look at Boba, he doesn't really believe in protecting his intestines.  His armor ends right about the bottom of his rib cage.
The rest of that space is where waist items go so they don't become "hip items."

Keep up the great work, and keep posting pics!

Thank you for the advice. I am kinda long waisted and made my templates a bit long with room to adjust. The ab plate is about 6.5 x 11 or so. I can definitely trim some off.

Progressed on my frame holster tonight.

Trauma plates installed.








Took the suggestion and trimmed 1" off the bottom of my ab plate. I will take pics later today and post them.

Thank you. It's been fun working/creating this armor.

I took about an inch off the ab plate. Should I take any more?

Codpiece - second attempt.

1 more tweak of the mold and the next should look spot on!

Codpiece -Mark III

after studying the templates against actual results, I made a few changes to the mold and patterns.  More Boba looking to me.

Adding 1 dart at the beak would help. Maybe next time.

Thank you! I've been pushing myself to stay motivated. I try to do something with my build every day. Getting close to laying some paint soon!

Seams like each step is half the distance of the last one.  Started with long strides now I'm inching along.  Push through. Progress is progress.

Every time I see and update on this build I get excited  :porg2:

Stellar craftsmanship as always! That backplate fits like a glove. Looks like the scrubs fit well too!

Thank you very much. I have always wanted to be a Star Wars character  but never thought I'd have anything near this. The MMCC has been the finest and most helpful group of people around.

Adding the last of the trauma plating this week. Looking to incorporate  some mesh to match the the back of the bucket.
