So, I realize that I only just made official yesterday, but since I submitted my app this past week the only thing I've been thinking about is my next build. I fell in love with the concept of a mechanic in the hopes of going brigade, so I started accumulating resources and lists of all the things I'd need.
Here's a rough concept of what I'm looking to do:

The helmet I'm eventually going to get is The Stalker by NME because it's so damn beautiful and I've been drooling over it ever since I saw it. I'm up in the air on color scheme. I really want a black kit and feel it would fit in with a mechanic build. I also want to incorporate purple and gold as well. The segmented collar plate is based around Sabine from the Rebels series. I haven't decided yet if I want to do a full back plate or a 3/4 one with a jetpack or something. For simplicity I may just do a simple backplate. Already dreading that part...
I started working on her tools. For the two I have, I want to add a couple more little things to them, then I'll fill some holes and start painting.
Fusion cutter on the left, Hydrospanner on the right.

I also got a pouch from Lowes that will need some love too.

I'm planning on giving her a gauntlet calculator with a cord and "disk" that can pull off of it that she can plug in to use for "hacking" and stuff. I'll probably make a couple more random tools too, gonna look around the Star Wars wiki for some good ones.
As far as a weapon is concerned, I want to do a carbine of some sort. Something she can sling behind her easily. I've found some good potentials in the Nerf section of Toys R' Us.
Feedback is always appreciated!
