Hey all
I'm finally starting to get some more free time again so I figured now was as good a time as any to start planning my new custom beskar'gam.
Not long after Republic Commando Triple Zero came out I started making some custom mando armour from corrogated card and paper mache, needless to say the end result wasn't brilliant but I was reasonably happy with it. It was only really in the final stages of the build that I stumbled upon this site and had my eyes opened to how good it could actually be.
Here is a pic of that first kit at a local con;

At the con I meet some of the local 501st members and despite the poor quality of my armour they were all extremely positive and encouraging of me. Over the past 2 and a half years I have been working (on and off) on a set of Jango Fett armour and that is now nearing completion, and I hope to have it approved by an upcoming con in ~6 weeks.
With that project nearing it's end I have decided to start planning my first proper set of beskar'gam, in order to bounce ideas off of you guys and get some feed back before starting on it.
Here is a sketch i did of my current plan;

It draws inspiration from Neo-Crusader armour, but this will be most apparent in the paint job and small things like the shoulders, shins, and back plate, but it will definatley be a modern era mando, with my character's back story being set during the Vongese War.
The right gauntlet will be a crushgaunt, and as far as weaponry goes I intend to make a Verpine Shatter rifle, a blaster pistol of some sort and a bes'kad.
The backplate will have some jump-thrusters similar to those seen here;

The colour scheme will be red, with sky blue and royal/navy blue details.
So yea and feedback and constructive crit is appreciatted, don't hesitate to point out something that could be improved or is ridiculously impractical, you guys are the experts.
