New armor project questions

JohnPaul

Hi im new I met a few of you guys at the 2009 okc ghouls gone wild! I was the green mandalorian. I have a few questions i think my ambitions are just a bit too high.. lol but I was wondering how hard you all think it would be to make N-7 armor or Terminus armor without trying to get into vacuforming. ty and hope to get to know you all! Smile

Hey, JohnPaul, I remember speaking with you and your dad after the parade near the big tent. I also remember seeing you during the parade and pointing at you while I was walking. I was Darth Vader. Good to see you sign-up here. Hope that you can make the meetings and events. We could always use Mandos. Wink

Good luck on your new armor.

WOW! Nice mando stuff.
N7 armor is reminiscent of the Accelerator suits used in the new GI Joe movie.
You might check into modifying sports gear like hockey or motorcross padding. Good luck. Smile

You could try to fiber glass the armor...but that would weigh a literal ton. Vacu forming is your best bet if you want something that will last, paint nicely, and have a wearability. Very intricate stuff. I'd love to see it done!
