My table is almost up and running. I'm working on a converter so that I don;t keep tripping a breaker. I am willing to help out if he needs some pulls. PM sent to ya Nate!

It's really starting to take shape nicely! I think that the visor part might need some work, but it's shaping up beautifully.

This looks like a great candidate! Are they still being produced... and do they come in a size 13 or 14?

I will! I will! I'm not satisfied with the results yet.... but soon!

Great progress there. As for the shin and boot armor... how tall are you, and what's you boot size. I'm pretty giant sized, and I have to make shins and boot covers for myself... just wondering. Are you going to build your own vacuforming table?

Congrats!!

Thanks! I just need to post the completed pictures. I think I got carried away with the weathering. It looks like the black anodizing came off the metal. It looks like it survived heavy abuse in the swamps and jungles of Kashyyyk, the wear and tear of metal scrapping up against metal armor and droids; high heat from heavy firing. When I'm satisfied, I'll post the final pictures. I think I need to put a couple of black and dark brown washes over some of the silver dry brushed areas. We'll see...

:) I'd ask for shin and boot guards... but my feet and shins are too long!

It's great to know that the creative spirit for the Kashyyyk is alive and kicking! Thanks for sharing your progress and Looking forward to seeing your finished pieces. This will be for vac-forming I'm assuming?

Sweet work! Are you gentle heating the sections and slowly bending them back into alignment?

'TURO!!!!!!!!!

Bigger would be better. If you can get your hands on a DP/Rubies... go about 10% up from that.

Great Job! I can't wait to start my Jason-pghfett set, (once I finish my Biker Scout!)

heheh I know what you mean computer versus hands-on sculpting pattern finishing. I know you guys' are going to make this sweet! You've got a lot worked out! It really is looked very very good!

Finally! Someone BELIEVES ME when I said that the back chest armor OVERLAPS the front armor on the sides! Helmet: Looks Great so far! The details on the upper side of the helmet are there! Great work! The dome at the very top of the helmet has the correct shape in the front, but should swoop back into more of the shape from the classic Biker Scout from ROTJ. Is the nose area that faceted? GREAT WORK ON THE ANGLED JOWELS and on the seamline between the faceplate and bucket. Will you be making an option to make the faceplate swing up on a hinge like the ROTJ scout? GREAT JOB!

This is going to look fantastic when finsihed! I still want your Phase I Clone Armor! I'm lovin' the pictures!

Cool... I will start ciphering the new shoulder bells, and post here when I have the CAD finished. I probably should get a chest mock up done... it would be better to gauge the sizing on everything, LadyGhost, I cannot stress enough how much I LOVE the work you've done for me with the cummerbund/vest, and the flight suit mods! It's the backbone of this suit!! My bucket it off to you! And my bucket also is off for Ross, for the awesome boots! It's gonna hurt putting rivets into them to hold the blaster in holster in place!

The bucket is in the works.

Loosetoon! Thanks for that Sketch... you pretty much illustrated what I was trying to figure out. And you beat me to the punch! Serves me right for posting my problems while I'm at work!! The shape of the shoulder bell has baffled me from the start. So this is a good direction for me to start! My forearm armor is a bit low in this picture because I haven't got them secured in the right location. The biceps, I think, were generally in the right place. I'll know more once I examine my original photos. God, I have GOT to see a chiropractor soon! I'm leaning like the Tower of Pisa!!!

That is very interesting link! I will have to check that out, and see if my wifey can help me out! Thanks!

Oh, WOW! I'm actually posting something REALEVENT to the armor now! So I'm getting back to the shoulder armor. I gotta tell ya, that piece is really driving me up the wall. So I've decided to for go trying to get teh chest armor done, and concentrate on the shoulder for now. Since I have some good referrence photos, of the pieces on my person, it's a starting point. I could use some opinions here, so lets get started. Here's two posting from the shots I did a while back. I didn't realize how puffy the arms on the vest are. So that is adding to the complication. I think I might need them shorten as well. I'll post more details of these pictures soon, but I want to get a feel for what our what you guys think. and then go from there. The vest hides the bicep armor, so I am thinking I could keep the length. I had originally chopped off about an inch or two from the height of the casting when I trimmed it. But, the width and depth is eluding me. More concepts to come.... but in the mean time... the floor is open!

Great news indeed. Can't wait to see the pictures.

Congrats!

Oh, yeah!

Chris, Count me in for watching your progress (and helping with the devilish details).
