Hello all! A while back (in the months leading up to Halloween last year to be exact) I joined these boards with the intent of getting into the wonderful world of mando armor building. I figured a costume for the up coming holiday would be the perfect excuse to dip my toes into the water and see what I was capable of. Now that I have a small idea what I'm doing, I would like to make a real, not just a Halloween costume, set of armor, and become an official member, and I thought it wise to start from the concept stage and get as much feedback as I can along the way to come out with the best possible armor I can make.
To start with, I know I want to go with a Post Imperial style, and I have a general idea what I want the set to look like, so I hopped on Mandocreator and put together a concept that resembles what I want as closely as possible. (there are some armor parts I want to make/paint custom, but I couldn't do that on the site)
The thing I'm not currently sold on are the shoulders, I don't know if I want (or can even have) two styles of armor. This was also a good test for the color scheme I want to go with, which is a firetruck sort of theme.
Here's one with "matching" shoulder bells, (they're both Din Djarin style)
and here's one with a Din Djarin style, and a legacy plate.
Any advice, feedback, opinions (or general sarcastic remarks
) are appreciated! I look forward to the journey ahead!
