And so it came to pass that Redness, longtime forum lurker, has finally decided to make his WIP thread...
It's been almost 11 years that I've had this idea of my own armor in my head - the avatar you see is the thing which I drew back in 2004 in high school cafeteria

and so last year I came in touch with
Merr-Sonn,bought my first real bucket and just like that my adventure started

Just so you know, there is no rule as to order in terms of armor making, eg. I have already finished my bucket, gauntlets and shoulder bells but I'm still missing a flightsuit, vest and chest armor

So as you can see - it's all kind of random, mainly because it's difficult for me to find a coverall that would fit me just right, and while I'm not looking for it I just make other parts of my armor

Enough typing, let the horror picture show begin:

From Mando Maker to reality

Busy April 2014


Final Effect & left ear detail
Buy'ce done, time to work on gauntlets.
Using WOF's templates and two layers of 3mm foam PCV I got this:

Which I first turned into this:


And finally got this (pre-weathering pic):

The plan was for the inside of the blade to light up (pretty much like in Republic Commando) but due to unforeseen consequences I had to abandon that idea

Aaand for unknown reasons flamethrower batteries heat up and melt the plastic battery housing, probably will need to add a resistor to fix it up.
