I happened to be at Wal-Mart and saw the trashcan lids you used. Brilliant idea by the way. I told my mom how you used them to make the chest armor. I didn't buy them, but I may go back and get them just in case. Everything is looking great. Keep up the good work.

Had a great day at OriKad's :D yesterday

Finally got the back re-sized and mounted. (OriKad designed this  ;) and pretty much built it)


All set and ready to go for when I get official status  ;D

I love it! Of course, Ori'kad who's wife has (imho) the coolest backplate in the club designed it lol.

I love GSR's reaction... another guy with one of the coolest backplates in the club lol.

WOW, that is really comming along nicely, I have one question regarding the knife however. Wouldn't it make for ease of drawing the weapon if it was secured to the pauldron handle down like our servicemen/women do?

That's how I wanted to do it but it fell out of the sheath when I did that  and tried walking around. And when i sewed a lip on it, It got snagged and almost ripped. So i said screw it and attached it that way. ;)

Just giving them a fighting chance is all. It would be no fun with it mounted the other way, they'd be dead before any of the action started.

I always wore mine like she has hers mounted cept with a bit of an angle so I could get it with mu off hand. I feel more comfortable using it blade back rather than blade forward, it's more of a defensive slashing role, might as well make the opponent be the aggressor and let them screw up.

Very very good day of building today! My armor is just about 95% done at this point. I finished the gauntlets and knees completely today. The helmet just needs a visor and the right ear piece.

Heeey, why'd you decapitate that turian?  What'd he ever do to you, huh?

Oh, and the helmet and gaunts look great, too.   I like how heavy the gauntlets look; like you could just backhand someone in the mouth with one and all their teeth would fly out.  Nice job.   :)

He looked me funny and you know how mando's like there trophies >:D

Heavy look is what I was going for. My arms are skinny and I needed to look more threatening. :D In reality, they are insanely light cause its just a plate made for trash can heat curved with one layer of vinyl and 2 straps to look cool.  ;)
