In the lower left corner, not all the way in teh corner but the one next to it, that';s Mandalore the Indomitable. That's actually his shield at rest on his back. The guy to his left in the corner I'm wagering to bet that's his shield as well.

It may have been a shield for the action figure, but the comic shows it to be a pack. Of course, I've never considered the figure to be very accurate in the first place.

[Hondo Karr]

Yeah, I know. That's the only problem with some of teh KOTOR Mando's and trying to use them to get into the 501st. A couple have figures, comic appearances and appear in games , strategy guides etc. However, due to artistic interpretation from one artist to teh next, there's no real good to honest standard look. So, they won't take them. Obviously we're not the 501st here and they are welcome in here in any version as long as the quality standards are upheld. But, it does make it a bit difficult for anyone trying to build the most accurate kit possible.

[Slade Kel]

Wasn't the lack of standard look kind of the point of Crusader armor? I mean, everything I've read about them indicates an incredibly customized nature to each individual set of armor, with very minor things such as the T-visor bringing them together as Mandalorians.

[Hondo Karr]

That is correct. They all had common elements but, they each had distinctive looks. During the Neo Crusader Era, standardization was much more common with very minor variances from one to another. Post Neo Crusader again saw extreme variation. It wasn't until the Mandalorian Civil War when the Death Watch and the True Mandalorians again standardized their looks. Post MCW until current LotF Era, variation within the confines of the current supercommando armor style are prevailent.

hmm, I think this might be my first set of armor project, if I can do this I can do anything! lol, course I wont be able to start till next month (april), dam bills  >.>

edit: btw making crusader armor first you still can become a full member right? I was thinking so but I cant check cause my internet is giving me trouble >.>

[Arden Fisk]

As long as your kit upholds the standards of quality, you should be all set.  AFAIK, we don't have any other FINISHED and approved crusaders/neocrusaders though, so you might have to be a 'guinea pig' for the admission process.

[Hondo Karr]

The council steadfastly wants KOTOR Era Mando's as Official Members! Just as Arden said, there aren't any yet! True, the first one or two will be guinnea pigs of sorts and the typical armor requirements that currently exist wouldn't really be appropriate for the KOTOR Mando's. So, the first few would help establish the boundries. I think the main things would be to 1. include a T visor, 2. uphold the fitting and quality guidelines already set and finally 3. don't use or, alter so heavily as to not be recognized at all, sports armor.

we have guidelines?

[Hondo Karr]

we have guidelines?

Uh, yes! Not just guidelines, standards. They are posted all over the forums and they're accessible from the mainpage and the application.

grrr! you shall not get your crusader armor done before me! 

[Jodar Kast]

I might not but its not a race Vod

If you do good on you If not well sorry for doing it first.

[Captnrex]

honestly the part of if that seems "difficult" is the helmet and getting it connected to the fancy backpack lol

as for the body suit I was assuming getting a brown/tanish flightsuit and just add the stuff on there, but regreatable as I posted before I wont have any money till next month to mess with >.>

ya Iam sorta just blabbin random stuff atm, they whole thing will probably be a pain to me >.<

[Jodar Kast]

As for me I'm a Jack of all trades so the hoses shouldn't be all that hard to do.

The one thing that you should think of first is do you want to take off the bucket off all the way (as in take of the tubes) you must have a way to disconnect the tubs from ether the bucket or the pack.

The other way is to not have the hoses disconnect from the bucket and have some way to have it connect to the back pack when not wearing it.

Those are the easy way of doing it IMO.

If you need help with it lit me know and I will help you to the best of my ability.
