Thats sweet. cant wait to see it. used one at east coast aero tech when i went to school. Been a long time. Oh and I gata tell every one of the major score I just got. Out sitting by the dumpster at my complex i found a beautiful 2x3 ft uncut practically brand new piece of sheet metal. I almost needed one of my daughters diapers!  ya it took all of 2 seconds for that to get in my hands.  I can get allot of mando components out of that thing. Just need some aviation snips. Already have a metal working mallet.

Hey Andy,
It looks good like that. Nice price on the suit as well. I have a few jet pack pieces for you as well. The first couple of pieces I've made with the models have come out pretty good. I have rocket jet top and bottoms. A new model started for the jet pack top rocket and some of the side body bolt covers. I'll show you next time we get together.
SeeYa,
TK
And YES brandon I will make some for you as well.... you BIG baby! lol

I thought you'd like it TK. All I could think about is when you called me a traffic cone. I don't think I could've lived with that. Cant wait to see the jet pack stuff.

I looked at the armor ideas on DH. Are you planning on doing armor for Tara? Fem armor is going to be a challenge, but I definitely don't want to look like a little boy or like Barbie. Do you think I could get enough of a curve out of the Sterlite? I had to put Zam on the back burner. Way too hard to find all the materials and $$$ to do it right. The neoprene did me in.

Well Brandon said that she is defanitly going to do a mando. So I guess that means yes. Eventually... The steralite trash cans were easy for me because I don't have those beautiful curves. Except when I did the cod piece It was really hard to shape. All I had to do was cut them out in a way that they'd fit my body. I have a piece of sheet metal that I'm going to tryout with the rest of my components I think. But TKs got that vacuform machine now. I think if I do Tara's Ill try the sheet metal. Its easy enough to shape. Other than the chest armor I think allot of the rest is the same. But I like the idea of having a 2 piece flight suit for you girls. I hope my ramblings help ya a bit. So I guess my short answer is try sheet metal.

I had the same thought about the sheet metal. The hubby's a coppersmith, so I know I have access to th tools. I loved that custom armor that looked like a blacksmith had done( can't remember the name custom Merc). I think I might do the duct tape dummy so I can get a good view of what I actually look like. Be nice to see the armor where it's supposed to be as you work on it. How's your's going? I couldn't see the pics on DH cuz I'm not signed up.

A coppersmith? Damn girl you have the best resource. I may hafta hit you up for some sheet metal. I found the piece i have in the trash. I don't really know where to get more. Plus i think its easier to paint. Just paint your colors then beat it up. You get the metal showing through. Allot easier than painting it to look like metal then weather it as you paint it. You can see my armor if you click on the photobucket in my signature. Then go to the costuming album. I have my Jedi costume in there too.

Already got him and my brother looking. His boss has the cobbler tools apparently as well. I told him that I want to pound it out. He'll completely take over and ruin my fun. I talked to him about scrap copper as well. Nice bright metal shining through the scratches. I'll share the wealth. Did you make some templates up, or did you get them off DH? Not sure about the helmet either. I'm only 5'1", so I think I might have to get a kids or make my own. Boba's helmet looks like an old military helmet w/ a shield wrapped around it. Looks doable. I'm going to check them out at Army Barracks
