Yeah; I am hopping to get it finished before the Saboten Con here in Arizona that way I can wear it there though its only for anime fans but I really don't care. What I am planing for the gauntlet is to take a sleeve from a t-shirt and insert it on the inside. Then I hope to put padding in that way I can have a firm but snug fit when my arm is in it. Hopefully, it will work out well. I'm going to do a few test fits to see if it will actually work.

Well I am hopping to get a rubies two-peace Jango Fett helmet so I can begin the painting scheme on it. But for today not much more is going to happen. It will probally begin tomorrow after my trip to Wal*Mart to get some rubber cement and paint so I can begin final coloring on the armor. I am moving up a few sketches of what the battle scars and all will look like. I'll have them posted up tonight and then tomorrow I'll get the stuff needed to finish up the remaining armor peaces that will be going on my chest, neck, stomach, and shoulder areas.

Photos will be coming; I am making some progress on the costume. I found some stuff laying around the house that would work well with the armor but will get it up tomorrow after my dentist appointment. And hopefully, I will be able to get to Wal*Mart to get my paint and rubber cement that way I can start painting on the armor, gauntlets, and hopefully my weapon. Along with that, my nephew went ahead and decided to start on a sith costume for halloween. He asked me if he could use my lightsaber since he is allowing me to use his Nerf Longshot. I had no choice but to say yes since he is letting me use his weapon. But I am giving him a helping hand out with his costume so expect some photos of his costume along with mine. When they are both finished me and him will be doing some group shots together of sith and mandalorian...probally a few fighting pics as well. This is going to be fun.....I can tell .

Here is something to add on. It's been a while but I finally got to Wal*Mart today and went and spent around nine dollars on getting some Rubber Cement and some Mod Podge to apply to the cardboard armor. Tomorrow is when it will all begin with applications and the progress photos I'll be bringing up. So be prepared guys!!!!

I'm still working through the cardboard armor guys. But I got some news; I am actually going to be getting some help with the project. Naimly, with my mom will be buying a set of PVC sentra armor for me. Not to worry I'll be still working on the cardboard version in case nothing really happens. Heck I may even make it for my nephew who knows. But all in all it's going well. Just a few peaces to go and about fifteen to twenty minutes to dry the stuff each.

Sorry it's been a while guys; I started up at college and had to get everything in order before I continued on with this project that I am doing. So it took me a while to put the cereal box over the original cardboard peaces for the smooth surface I was looking for. Next I had to cover the peaces to give them the shinney look with Mod Podge. They all turned out good except for when one of the peaces stuck to another it pulled the mod podge off so I had to re-do the neck peace. After everything was complete I grabbed everything that will work into the armor and took a snap shot of what it will look like. Granted there is no helmet but once I get the sintra stuff and the bucket it will look a whole lot better. For now here is everything in its rightful place. Now I know I have yet to show my boots and most of the soft supplies so I pulled them together as well and took a photo of them. So here it is; the soft stuff and my boots. Once this is complete it will be kick @$$ I promise that much!!!!

Close Ram but the boots are actually ATV riding boots. I got them last year before going on a trip to Glamis. From the different terrian they had been at plus the shifting between gears on my ATV they got good enough scratches and scars. They are the exact style of boots I wanted even if I can barley move my ankle LOL!

I've been really busy with dealing with some stuff so I never really had the chance to actually post some stuff on here. I got photos but was just to busy to put them up. So here is what I've got so far. Basically, I took a black permanent marker and messed around with different style of battle damage to be incorporated into the armor. This is what I came up with. On my neck peace when the Mod Podge came off it left some wrinkled spots and bumps. Trust me I was really mad when I saw them. But then after a while I thought I could use those to my advantage. So I took a marker and worked through of what kind of battle damage I could come up with when the painting starts on the sentra stuff.

Just imagine if the armor remained like that. LOL! That would be some sweet looking armor to wear and get photos in. Let's see the helmet could be cookie crisp. LOL! Not sure. But yeah it will be kcik @$$ when it is all put together.
