Kodiak's finished kit (Kelborn Mereel)

 New photos, taken 12/19/2015:

Because nothing is ever finished:







I'm also working on an alternative look based on this statue:





OLD post from way back in the forgotten pre-TFA era:


We just finished up Phoenix Comicon, and I got some amazing pictures out of it. I figured it would be a good time to post a finished kit thread, even if it's been 5 months after being made official. 

Let's just say I've come a long way...

Early WIP:



Me in kit last weekend:








Me and a Vod arresting an insubordinate scout trooper, by Vader's command:




The middle three photos were taken by a very good friend of mine, she does excellent work.

It is such a rush to look back a pics of our 1st attempts, and compare them to our official kits. Like 'how did I get from there to here?'

The biggest changes in my kit have been new cloth parts, especially the Jango style leather vest. I also made new knees out of aluminum, and redid the paint on my chest plates. I gave my helmet a brown acrylic wash to give it just a little more visual depth.

My current WIP is a jetpack in the Jango Arena style. It's going to be lightweight as possible, because I don't want to kill my back. My last one was PVC and other assorted plastics, and I didn't like how it threw off my posture.

I want to pair it up with a kama/poncho combo like that Boba Fett Mythos statue. Maybe I'll get a long rifle to match, too. It'll round out my pistol/carbine/rifle armory as it stands now. I won't wear them all the time, but they'll allow me to mix things up whenever I have the whim.
