Been a little bit, time for an update! I'm feeling the time crunch, but at the same time I think the toughest parts are now behind me (mostly), and I can get to the fun parts like painting, attaching greebs, and making weapons!

Torso armor! Shaped, sanded, bondo'd, the whole shebang. Yes, those are my old Akiva shoulders. Gonna re-use 'em and then have some bicep armor. No chest diamond because I somehow lost it?

and had to make a new on. I got one now. It's all gravy.

I guess technically this makes this a heavy armor kit? Makes sense, though, considering the character. I'm tempted to make the corners of the knee plates more rounded than they are, not sure yet.

Back armor! The first ever! I did segment it a little bit because.. mobility and I wanted to, haha. The fit feels right to me (the bottom plate ends about at the base of my spine, I'm still able to bend backwards though not as much as normal because of the plate), so I'm gonna roll with it.
I do have all my greeblies ready to go, as well as the armor plates for my taser gauntlet (I have a knuckle plate and a hand plate that I'll probably join together with wires so the 'current' will go to all the 'points'). Gauntlets I had to make some serious adjustments on though, they're presently sitting and curing. The top half was meant to have a very sharp, 90 degree angle on either side, but when I bondo'd it I didn't want to risk breaking the piece and stuff and so it ended up at a less steep angle, which meant I couldn't use my old gauntlet halves. So I made some new ones.. which then also didn't fit. So I made some spacers, slapped some bondo on 'em, and will sand tomorrow. They won't be the prettiest, but they'll do.
Also got my loincloth cut (you don't have to have a kama if you don't have a cod piece, right? I know a loincloth can be in place of a cod, but do you -have- to pair it with a kama for it to be approvable?), as well as my girth belt. Gonna use an old cheap WalMart belt I bought for the ammo belt (loincloth will cover the buckle and holes).
To do still:
1. Prime and paint all pieces (all paint should be here by Friday, YAY).
2. Purchase EL wire for stun batons/shock whip.
3. Purchase PVC pipe and other necessary pieces to make the above.
4. Purchase ammo pouches; make a pouch to fit phone.
5. Purchase black leggings.
6. Attach all armor pieces to vest/put strapping on all pieces.
(Optional for time)7. Purchase zabrak horns and face paint (surprise, this Mando is a Zabrak

).
I'd like to have this done for our local zoo troop on the 22/23 of Oct, but we'll see how time goes. At this rate it'll probably just squeak by in time for Halloween.
EDIT: I think Facebook messed up, because I have -no- idea what that black and white picture was, or where it came from. So there's a link to the leg armor.

? Facebook r u okay?
