Ne'tra Ca'verd Rebuild (Basic Templates)
« on: Jan 14, 2014, 02:39 PM »
I have recently decided to do a rebuild and was drawing up some concepts of what I am looking at doing.
The biggest motivator is the fact that I have a MDSB Assassin bucket that I have always wanted to finish because my nose will love me much more due to the sizing! :P
I am looking at doing a heavy armored mando with very high coverage. The concept is to slightly overlap plates to give it a solid look and feel but while also attaching them in a way that I will not be super limited on my movement as the plates will be able to slide a little on top of each other when moving.
Here is the concept that for the Chest:


Here is the concept for the back, It will continue with the same pattern further down I am just still not yet certain how I am going to transition it into the leg armor.


Let me know what you think.

That's an interesting look. It'll look nice with an assassin for sure. Looking forward to seeing how you shape the plates.

Ok I got some more time to work on this. I have some templates of the top chest plate so I can make sure I get the sizing about right before I keep drawing the rest of the plates.

Here is the plate. The lines are the bends where it will be bent to give it the proper shape.


Here is one for sizing.


Whatcha think?

It has been a while and I have been busy with other things but from the looks of things I should be getting more time to work on my armor.
Here is the whole chest/collar plate I just finished up rough templates for last night.

the main plates will be 6mm Sintra and the accent plates will be in 3mm sintra so it will have a nice layered look to it. I just grabbed the cardboard I had so the thicknesses are a little off but this is the shape I am looking at.

Yea I haven't cut it in yet. It will be cut out of the top layer plate on the chest plate. I wanted to have the whole thing together and test out some spacing and didn't quite get to it that day. It should be coming soon (next few days) along with a few other armor pieces.

It looks really cluttered in the cardboard, but I imagine it'll look downright awesome once you've got it in the sintra. Can't wait to see it make that leap, really loving the concept.

Yea I am hoping that with the difference in the thickness in the layers it will look a lot less cluttered.

Turns out I didn't get the time I thought I would have a few weeks ago but I got some today to work on it.

Now with the Center Diamond


And the Cod


Sholder



Now all I need are the knees base template (I have a concept drawing)  and then do a final more exact and symmetrical template before move to Sintra.

Thanks,
I was planning on moving it there once I actually got the base templates done since they are very rough and will need to be redone to actually have a usable template. In my mind it was still in planning phase. But the line of what was which was a little gray to me and in my brain planning probably goes further is generally accepted as planning.

I will take the move of the thread as motivation to go buy some plastic and get the final templates finished!  :P
