Hey guys, Im still new here but I have made some headway & thought Id Share where im at. I havent come up with a name for him yet & I havent totally settled on a design, But I started on my Bucket last night & wanted to show it off

after talking with you guys & staring at the 2 pics I have decided now to proceed with this design...


& here is the progress I made last night. I found some templates & started cutting them out on poster board & this is what I came up with...





I need to lengthen the bottom about 1/2" to cover my face a bit more & I thought about using 1/8" ABS plastic to make it out of but thought it might be a little tough to get the dome to come out right. I might also just cover my Poster Board form in Fiberglas, Resin Or Bondo (depending on price at the time), let me know how you guys feel about these materials

I'm gonna be starting on my Armor this weekend, so any advice there would be a huge assist.

The Flack Vest I think I can handle on my own but have NO idea on where to go for my Flight Suit so if someone could point me toard a local place to find one (for cheap) I would appreciate it.

anyway thats where I am at this point, my goal is to have the majority of my suit donw by the last day of PhoenixCon but we all know how plans go sometimes.

Hope you guys enjoy & I would really appreciate ANY criticisim, advice or tips that you guys can provide.

Thanx for lookin,

Chris

WOW!!!! I love the duster in the first pic... daddy want one!

[Naasad Tal]

alright guys...Ive decided I wanna do the Mando in the first pic (pending council approval of course) gonna custom blasters & have kinda a desert camo paint scheme to him...let me know what you guys think

thanx,

[KV_Actual]

My best suggestion if you do the first one is you put a lot of your own flair into it because I've seen that picture passed around quite a bit.

I love the desert camo colours especially down here in Arizona. Can't wait to see what you come up with.

[A'den Kyramud]

Get your basic parts done and then start working out the detailing from the picture. That is a beasty awesome set btw, I've seen quite a few people talk about doing it, if you pull it off, kudos to you mate!

[Solus Kyr]

You can do it, just take your time. 

[Naasad Tal]

Modified first post to reflect final design...thanx for all the compliments & advice so far guys, lookin forward to reachin full member status & gettin to suit up with you guys soon!!!

Not much of an update but I managed to get a start on my Blasters this weekend...

Oooohhhh....Me Likey. What ya makin it out of?

[Naasad Tal]

Thanx for the comments...the body is gonna be wood with some filler over it to make it not look like wood. the small cylinders under the barrell are going to be 1" dowels & I havent really figured out the "revolver drum" yet.

Try PVC Pipe (my personal favorite) for the cylinder

[KV_Actual]

That looks like Vash the Stampede's revolver from Trigun. I know a guy who sells that for thirty bucks on eBay.

[Naasad Tal]

I got the basic idea from Trigun...& PVC is probably the way ill go for with the cylinder...thanx guys

[Cyrus Rang]

That gun is AWEsome!

[Tassone Phoenix]

I like the concept pic and that gun looks awesome. I look forward to seeing your kit.

[Scorlord]

I actually see more of the Hellboy, Good Simaritin.

Still, Indymogul has a nice video tutorial on it, should help move along the pistol.

[Naasad Tal]

WOW that was a hell uva tutorial! Thanx for that...it gave me some ideas about making my blasters. of course I havent quite figured out the dome at the back of the cylinder yet. I planned out my jacket & flak vest with my Aunt last night & as soon as I get some more $$$ I will be gettin the material for those

As always thanx for the input & critques guys!

Chris

[Naasad Tal]

ok guys, quick update...got the posterboard form done now I need to get a fiberglass repair kit to stiffen it up...my guns are slowly takin shape & I think I may have figured out the cylinder issue...I'll be posting pics as I get more done



enjoy!

[Ca Loar]

[Naasad Tal]

I'll do that tonight

[A'den Kyramud]

Ah scratch builds...   

FTW!!! What better way to get kudos points than show that you can build your own gear?
Chris, looks awesome mate! Oya!

[Naasad Tal]

due to popular demand I have pics of my Blasters in progress...they are no where NEAR done but I have the bodies just about finished & ready for paint then I'll move onto the 4 cylenders for each gun...each gun is just over 12 inches in length BTW




Lemme know what you guys think,

Chris

[Solus Kyr]

Looks cool Vod!

[Ca Loar]

Damn! I'm gonna have to up my skills cause your putting me to shame 
Nice Job. Be sure to seal the wood so the wood grain doesn't show thru when you paint.
