Okay... bit of a delay in getting my ComMando, and it has me thinking, what should I do for the visor?  I'm debating a couple of variants, but was also thinking of just going with the standard "T".  Also looking into a mirrored tinted, maybe a green.

Two days till I get my new helmet!!    :porg2: :porg2: :porg2:
And, in other news, I just got the Velcro temporarily attached, and am going to use magnets to act as support.

One of MANY things I'm still very undecided about. Was thinking of keeping the same colors: black, orange accents, and white face. Just not sure if I'll keep it in the same pattern.

It all really comes down to whether or not it actually will fit on my melon.

I wasn't able to get the visor the way I wanted, but I still am happy with the end result.




Just tooling around with my phone's edit options.

Also, guess who won his workplace's costume contest?

I'd like to get a mirrored visor.  Just picked up a couple of clear face shields, now to find some mirrored tint.

So, for those that don't know, my father became one with the Force on the 15th of November.  It's taken me this long to come back to some semblance of normal.

Briikasse evaar'la simir, ner vode! That whole "new year, new me" osik only applies to my armor builds.

As for them, I have come to a couple of different crossroads. The first is my lower half.  I would like to rebuild my cod, knees and boot plates out of the steel, but am unsure on if I should keep them as their current design, or go with something more traditional.  I am also swapping out my work boots for the ones I got approved with, maybe adding in an armor plate behind the straps.

My next thought is on if I should keep the current style (Modern, Jango) for my chest plates, or make a set of Rebels Wren grunt.  I am still working on the design for the back plate(s), and really am torn on the rest.

I am also looking to get some new weapons, more in line with my character's story.  He's currently in the New Trilogy era, and has stolen some First Order tech (a TIE Silencer prototype, some blasters, that kind of thing...).  Anyone have 3-d files for the blasters?

Been awful quiet, lately.  As is typical in the winter, the build has stalled.  Got some things in the planning stages, though.  Will update when I have more to show for it.

So, with the new helmet, comes new problems.
First, I either need contacts or LASIK in order to properly wear this.  The helmet is awesome, aside from that.
I need new vambraces and gloves.  Found a set of rose pruning gloves on Amazon that might work, and have the files for some new vambraces.
