Here's a test fit with me wearing V1 Barry over on CT informed me that the arch on the flat area was too tall. After thinking it over while at work last night I decided to take the plunge and correct it. Got home this morning and knocked out the necessary corrections...after ha humming and walking around the garage for about ten minutes and looking at the mold and the ref pics I finally balled up and did it. I still hung onto the old master just in case, but as I started sanding it down I became very pleased with what I was starting to see. Here's the results: Comparison side by side with the old V1 I also decided to slope down the upper chest area just a bit more so it didn't look so bulbous and for more ergonomic conformity (correction version in the background) Let me know what you all think! I'll post pics later with me test fitting V2

Got this knocked out this morning so I wanted to share real quick. I did a preliminary test pull for a master and was fairly pleased with the results...still got a few nitpicky things to do to it, but they're minor so shouldn't take long. Hope to have this done by the end of the week. Take a look:

Thanks for that brotha!! I got your B pull shins here waiting for you whenever you're ready, no rush. And as far as the Kashyyk armor goes...uh never! LOL

Makin some headway on the chest plate. Here's some pics of the mold I'm working on Thanks for looking

You got it mate, thanks!

I can do a set for ya for $95 shipped! LMK mate!

Let me know and I'll get ya taken care of Darren Here's a review from berzerker 9223 over on CT.net. He was the first one to buy a set from me. Start on page 3, post #47 http://forum.clonetroopers.net/index.php?showtopic=15354&st=40 Thanks for lookin everyone

Thanks Mark! Definitely GM!

Thanks James! I forgot to mention, I'm in full production on these now (just haven't had a chance to start a sale thread yet), so anyone who's interested in a set (or 2 or 3 ) hit me up and I'll get you taken care of

Thanks all for the kind comments! MB, you are a true gentleman...thank you! I know that I've still got a long ways to go on this, but it's coming along slowly...just got way too many irons in the fire right now Stay tuned!

Here's some side by side shots of the narrow with the wider pulls A side by side shot of the wider buck with a narrow pull for comparison: So far this is just the beginning. Unfortunately, it's been very slow going lately as I've just got so much on my plate (I really need to quit my day job lol) but I do plan on sculpting the rest over the next year or so. Thank you all for your time and let me know what you think! -RKD

And some shots with an MB boot/toe armor

And some of the wider set:

Hi there everyone, Well, I felt that it's finally time that I introduced myself to you all over here. I've been around here and there in the RC section on Ct.net for a while, but I've long been aspiring to build a GM (cause I just love that costume) and after a short stint with sculpting Mando/Boba Fett armor I feel comfortable enough to move forward with this project. I've LONG looked at doing this costume, but until recently have felt confident in attempting a complete scratch sculpt/build of the armor...I've attempted, to the best of my abilities, to stay as true as possible to the screen caps while balancing a real world feel/practicality to the look of the armor. As we all know in the clone world, that's a difficult thing to do. I've been feverishly working on this shin armor for the last 3 weeks (after a short setback) and now feel like I've gotten to the point where I'm confident in sharing my progress with you all. So here it is, my interpretation of the GM/Kashyyk shins (so far.... more armor pieces are in my plans). I've sculpted these with my own body style in mind while trying to stay true to the original movie stills as much as possible (cause I'm anal like that ) I cut these out and taped them together to try them on...granted these are not KC boots that they're sitting on so keep that in mind (I'll be getting a set soon to put them on to see where they're at), but so far I'm VERY pleased with the results and the look. This set is pre assembled to my foot as a seamless cut cause I wanted to see how they look slipped on like a sock. These have quite a bit more of a slender/curved look which was what I was shooting for. The first pics you'll see are of the first attempt at a narrow set. I've also sculpted a wider set per the recommendation of others over on CT So without boring you any further, please take a look at the pics below Pics of the narrow set
