Topic: Next Project- New set of armor

i am considering making a new set of mando armor and i thought i would open this up as a way to get input and ideas.

first off this set is going to be a spec ops mando, lots of black and silver.

i want it to be loaded up with holsters and ammo and have a very military look to it.

beyond that im looking for fresh ideas.

what would a spec ops mando look like, and what would he carry?

Call me weird, well you do anyway, but I can imagine two strings of bullets across the chest, Rambo style :P

Naw,
Lots of guns and holsters yes. But how do you do crossed strings of bullets when your weapons dont shoot bullits?  ;) lol

very true, i always preferred live ammo in the star wars universe anyways...

must investigate further

belts of gas cartridges. simple, replace bullets with star wars ammo.

Regimas,
You get my email on here?

hell yes i did.

Too Much?

on the contrary!

i want more advice

Awright I will try to find some free time this weekend.
Hey is it possible to change your username in here? I wanted to use one in Mando'a but I figured it would be taken... However, it seems that not a lot of people research Mando'a names on here.

yeah just message Aaron the webmaster and he can change it.

not a ton of "hardcore" mando fans here anymore, most of em went to other sites, i stayed to watch the fort.

i will gladly accept more advice through my e-mail and i will scan and send you some of the concept art i have been working on.

Right on,
I aint much of an artist but I am one hell of a reshearcher/writer, (If you can get over my poor grammer and spelling, but what the hey... thats what editors are for right?)

spell check=savior

Yeah but I dont know how to work it cept' when I am in a word document. lol.

With Mozilla FireFox its easy to work. Its just like Word

precisely, it doesn't pick up on grammar lol.

And its a free download too

back on topic,

if you guys want to talk about spell check im sure glopino or masterchief opened up a topic at some point...

lol,

what is your favorite program to use spellcheck in?

Perhaps bandoleers of concussion grenades? Or thermal detonators?

yes, yes and hell yes

Ok yes yes and hell yes... Yes to what? and yes to what? and hell yes to what?

this

Hmmm...  ok... How about a sniper weapon? Something with a fair length barrel (Most snipers use bull barrels which are usuall about three times as thick.) Sweet optics and a bipod. You could mount it on his jetpack somehow. I actually have some pics of a real sniper rifle if they would help.
I also wanted to mention low slung quick draw holsters, kinda like what Han Solo uses but with more of a Mando feel.
???

I know this is a little assassin's creed but how about a hidden blade like on a vambrace. And possibly a light saber for those pesky jedi.

... or a hidden lightsaber?

you could have it attached to the inside of his forearm so that if he activates it it shoots forward into his hand, and activates the blade simultaneously.

Hey Regimas... you get the message?  http://www.bobafettfanclub.com/boards/viewtopic.php?pid=93126#p93126

yep, will try to make it

So I am married with little money is there a way to make an Awesome looking Fett costume without spending alot to do so?

Trashcan armor.

Go to walmart and buy a butt-load of cheap plastic trashcans/storage bins and cut out your plates.  If you need them you can download and print schematics from the Mercs site.

Back On Topic

Tactical pockets and ammo pouches - EVERYWHERE!  They always add the proper commando feel, almost as much as the weapons themselves.  Sniper-sleeve type attachment on the left wrist gauntlet, pockets on your sleeves above the elbows/below shoulder bells, attached to your vest where possible, maybe a low-slung ammo rig on your left leg rather then twin blasters, the more the better.

And speaking of tactical gear, when are you going to make an Army of Two costume?  Love where mine is going; probably the next closest awesomeness to a Mando rig
