Avantlaws Armor WIP
« on: Jun 21, 2021, 11:27 AM »
Hello All,
Time for me to actually start my WIP thread. I'm planning a Boba style light kit first then expanding out to a Jango style medium kit.
Color scheme is as follows: (just a test print):



Been working with the Folks in Cerrar clan and attending some armor parties. It's been amazing. I put the boosters on this weekend and got my Helmet taken from rough sanded print to almost finished. So here is my WIP as it stands.

BUCKET:



The Bucket I'm using is a Sol'yc bucket from GedycArmouries: http://mandalorianmercs.org/forum/index.php?topic=174598.0

Gauntlets:



The Gauntlets I'm using are the basic ones from the forums and the Greebs that the forum provides as well.

More updates on other parts will be coming soon.

Thanks Bryn,

 Also appreciate the help as always.

Once the weather dries up going to touch up and seal the paint on the Bucket and gauntlets. Then, next will be the collar chest and Ab pieces.
Still have to trim those and then ensure the shape and fit is right.

This is the Shaped armor i have so far.

Did some more work on the bucket and the Gauntlets today.

Left gauntlet is finished!

Top:


Bottom:


Just a bit more on the right gauntlet and the Bucket to go before I move on to prepping and finishing chest armor.

pretty good work here Avantlaws! There may be some lines on the top of that gauntlet - I might recommend sanding the purple down a hair and adding more paint after. Lines are looking sharp though. As are the rest of the silver on the gaunts.

Cant wait to see the plates painted up. Did you do knee plates yet?

Thanks!

I'll give it a once over with the Sander again and touch up.

No knees yet, still need to trim and sand the Chest pieces. Then moving down. I should probably print the knee pieces.

Went to an Armor party and got a lot done with my main Trauma plates for my chest and Shoulder bells. Excited to get these mounted and keep working down!

Primed, base coat and top coat done, just need to work on details!

Update was able to get the trauma plates mounted today. Worked out the wrinkles near the collar but still need to tailor the vest a bit.



Super excited to be making progress.

Been working hard here's an update. I got my visor mounted into my helmet using 3D printed clips that allow me to swap the visor out as needed. I just wasn't happy with how the hot glue looked.

Visor clips:



Finished helmet exterior:


I've also been working on my shin/knee combo armor, been able to get that cut shaped and mostly ready to put together.

Legs shaped:


Rough knee placement:

Big update coming I got A LOT done over the past few weeks.

First my Shin Knees / Greaves are done.

Lots of filling and sanding and priming


Then the paint got finished.


Then decided to beat it up a bit, for the final look :


Soft Parts

ended up buying a sewing machine and going to the fabric store and knocking out my Loin Cloth/Girth belt in a day.





Then cut out and hemmed my cape.



Pre-App Photos
A lot more work was done here, but i started with my preapproval pics in our clan thread too. You can see those tin this thread:
 - https://mandalorianmercs.org/forum/index.php?topic=200055.0







Excited to be on to the next stage of my kit, I'm planning on my iron hear being the last thing i add. So next is weapons and that and any corrections the clan has for me.

What an awesome journey.


Can't wait for the trooping to begin!

Final App Pics inbound as well as last minute updates.

I had some sewing and sanding to do but got the following corrections made in time for App pics:
  • Additional weathering of Soft parts, Belt Items, and pouches
  • Additional Topical weathering of Armor plates
  • Sanding of Print lines on Blaster controller
  • Shifting of Chest Plates to improve spacing
  • Reshaping of Collar plate to form fit better


Which brings us to.... App Pics!

Front


Left


Back


Right


Bucket Off


Weapon Right


Weapon Left



I'm so excited to have gone this far and couldn't have done it without all the help and input I've received.

K'oyacyi!
