Armor Construction / Grendel's WIP 2024
« Last post by Grendel on Mar 24, 2024, 10:38 PM »So that happened...
Since my last attempt I've been divorced, sold my house, traveled to south east Asia for a year (India, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Malaysia, Philippines), came back to the States, helped a friend rehab from surgery, and got myself settle back in Vegas, and done some short trips to So Cal and Mexico.
I finally have most of my crafting gear out of storage an have a quiet place I can craft in my down time.
So the plan is similar to before.
I am still inspired by the Gar Saxon armor from the Darth Maul Son of Dathomir comic
I love the black and grey flight suit with the red piping accent on the sleeves, black vest with red piping , and how the shoulder bells have a nice Mythosaur like shape on em in red. I will likely duplicate as much as is reasonable.
The gauntlets have a great shape to them, though I have my doubts they will pass.
I plan on using Dark Grey,/Silver-ish, Red, Black, Yellow as my color scheme.
I will be using Jango armor for most of the kit, though likely using legacy back plates for articulation. Depends on which pack I go with.
I have a color design for the armor that is inspired by the Darth Maul armor and Saxons from the comic that should be original enough.
The plan is to tackle this in phases.
Phase 1 - Soft parts
1.5 - Dye/ initial weathering
Phase 2 - Shape sintra into Armor
2,5 Work out placement on vest and harness, batle damage placement (if any)
Phase 3 - Helmet acquisition/build
Phase 4 - Electronics
Phase 5 - Weapons acquisition/build
Phase 6 - Paint/weathering
Phase 7 - Pre app dialing in of everything (Fitting, paint, weathering)
Phase 8 - App begins
