Yes, they are a bit big , so I added lots of foam inside to make them comfy to wear.




Ups forgot paint  bolts on this side... :rolleyes:

Here is video with glowy vibrosword and gauntlet's screen activated.
Yes, no, maybe ? :)

Thanks Jorikad :D that was my first experiment with glowy trinkets.

Maybe next time will try make portable shield, like seen in  the Clone Wars cartoon.

Bought some transparent worbla sheets, which you can shape into needed shape.
 http://www.coscraft.co.uk/thermoplastics/698-worbla-s-transpa-art-750-x-500mm.html
I tried tiny piece of it to cover gauntlets screen window. Need experiment more with that :D

Tried draw scheme of sword here. Used for it acrilic (Perspex) from
http://www.midlandplastics.co.uk/shop/clear/clear_000/
Thickness: 5mm
Length: 500mm
Width: 60mm
Inside the garda I left opening so I can change LED cells.

Everything looks good, though the gauntlets are a bit too big, I guess those are the ones from Ebay. They're a recast of a UK Vac former who doesn't work anymore. the reason the bottom is so long is that the bottom was meant to slip inside the top of the gaunts. though the fiberglass casts can't do this, you need to trim them down on both sides before attaching them.

Now your grey gaunt seems to be ok. It could use a bit of a trim but it's good enough really.

Though your red gaunt is way too big, need a serious trim round the bottom. (by the bottom i mean the bottom clamshel, not the bottom as in your wrist, in terms of where on the arm needs trimmed it's the bit closest to your elbow that needs a trim)

only the green, you an move the bottom forward to match up better though take off a fair bit more than you've marked the gaunts should be close in but have a bit of clearance so they don't pinch.

I'm also not a huge fan of that closure. mainly cause it covers up your lovely paint tripe on the grey. have you considered piano hinges? also is there engraved lines round the stripe or just piant?

Those gauntlets took me so much time....bought them from Ashen Kelborn, not sure where he got them.
Sometimes I think it was faster make new ones from scratch, than make those smooth and even.  Hinges did not worked to attach due too wavy inside surface.
I am not  fond of those leather straps too...

also is there engraved lines round the stripe or just piant?

Just red colour wide strip, then goes thin black line and then silver line.


Let out my frustration while weathering cape :D

Ha, I knew it ! That's one of my favourite vibroblade in the game. Sadly, it doesn't exist in customisable equipment :(

Armour party. when a bunch of clan members get together and get armour work done. particularly useful to unofficial members who need help and Oms who need help upgrading.

Everything looks amazing. Honestly superb work. not long and you'll be OM I'm sure :)

Tested armor at MCM Expo London Comic con. I did not know jawas can fly! :D
Gave my blaster to my daugter to hold, she was dressed as jawa companion.



video here:
http://www.syfyfancam.com/videos/pat6ryv2xjzw/

To do list:
Remake chest armor plates (they do not fit well)
Make from leather gun holster and sword sheath, maybe move sword to hang  behind on the back. it was not very comfy to walk around with it.
Fix helmet (chipped of piece on the side ;/)
Repaint vibrosword handle and maybe wrap it in leather for better grip
Make smaller previous red gauntlet with rocket thingie.
Sew velcro on knee pads
Seal down led screen on gauntlets so water condensate do not gather on the window
Sew leather strips  and velcro on ammo armbands so they do not slip down.
Get new gloves which allow use phone

or you could get a touch screen stylus and stick it to your gauntlets like Kal skirata :P

Everything looks good. Nice upgrade list though if you want my opinion i say take some app pics. you're more than ready for an app in my opinion :)

lots to upgrade maybe. but your kit surpasses the basic app requirements by a long shot. it's fantastic. I recon you could take pre app pics and be aped in by the end of the week.
