K.A.M. (Kev's and Mr.B's) Kashyyk Armor Makers


Recommended Posts

Some or most of you might know that back in June 2012 I bought the molds from Tom "Mr.B."

It has a lot of clean up I want to do and some parts I will make new from scratch.

 

I have started on the Toe Caps.

Obviously they are not done yet. But I had received some request for them hence that is why I started on them first.

 

I will do my best to continue to show the progress I make on this project.

I'm still working on them but here is a vac-formed test pull.

It will take some time to get all the other parts ready.

This pic kind of gives you the stages I need to go through for each part. Some or Most parts will be a new sculpt from scratch.

Looking good Kevin! Only 15 more pieces to go! What material and thickness are you thinking you'll be using for your suits?

LOL.. "Only 15 more parts"

I plan on using ABS. Thickness might vary depending on the parts.

Are you planning on modifying the helmet. I find mine hard to see out of as the bridge of the nose gets in the way. If you do, I'll be first in the queue.

 

Got to finish my awesome Commander Wolffe first though!!!

I have not put too much thought into the helmet yet. So I don't have an answer for you. I know just by the CG design alone that the dome is very low profile which makes it unrealistic for a human to properly wear with good vision.

 

I'll see what I can do when it come to that time.

Just an up-date.

 

I decided to sculpt a new Chest and I'll be sculpting a new back also.

 

If anyone has followed my previous work on other armor kits and helmets this is the way I have made most of those.

 

You can see more of my other work here http://www.imperialsurplus.com/

 

This is just the very beginning of the Kashyyyk Chest Sculpt.

I heard on CTN because of the Crow Boot Situation Kevin has put this Project on hold till he gets his Boots or something like that wich makes me scream Noooooooooo. I´m building this KST for 1 Year now. Seems this Project is cursed. Troubles,Troubles,Troubles 1 Step forward 2 Steps back is it for me.

I had to put this project on hold for a little bit for a few different reasons.

 

I have a deadline to meet with a different project "Ralph McQuarrie's Concept Stormtrooper Armor" and only have 5 months to complete it. After I am done I will be able to revisit the KT molds and get that armor done.

 

You can see the thread for the RMQ Concept armor here...

I was just asked about this the other day.

 

I have a few other things I need to take care of first.

But I do plan on offing the Vac-formed armor. I'm just not looking forward to making all the rubber cast parts.
