Buff, NY 2009 Costuming Thread - Construction & Questions

ok, so my armor is the relatively new "ATA" armor, it's derived from the CAPS, TE, and TE2 sets. very nice looking, but needs alot of trimming and whatnot. I'll be working on it for a few weeks, should be up to snuff in a few weeks.the guys over at whitearmor have been very helpful.

 

OK looks like finished fine tunning my Plo Koon mask. Now have to finish up the hands and get a hold of janice or my friends mom to get the jedi robes and that done. Also chat with larry about doing some cooking to make my clone wars forearm armor. So looks like well ahead of schedule to be done for bisons game as requested by Lisa and a few others.

 

That will be GREAT to have a Plo Koon for dueling!

 

So I got my helmet built, painting now, waiting for primer to dry. Look awesome, I'll post some pics as soon as it's done.

 

Awesome! Can't wait to see the pics!

 

here's my lid assembled, primer's still drying

 

Looking Good!

 

Coming along nicely!!

 

So far, so good. Nice work!

 

So after a fun session with Lisa and the sabres, I was in a really Star Warsy mood last night, so I popped in my Empire of Dreams, and got to work with the dremmel and sander. Got all my little bits cut and sanded, and got the legs trimmed down. Should have all my pieces cut by tomorrow or Wednesday. then it's on to getting my snaps and straps hooked up. Now that I've acctually cut the plastic up, I feel alot better, not as nervous as I was about cutting it. Should be good to go soon!! More pics to follow.

 

My bucket's done, what do ya'll think?

 

VERY nice!

 

Lookin' good, trooper.

 

It's alot shinier than it looks in the pic, my camera's not that good, and I didn't get a good angle on the sun.

 

I am retiring the codpiece of doom and debuting a new and improved piece tomorrow!

WOOOOHOOOOOO!!!!!!

 

Will you be having the old one bronzed?

 

Anything is possible!
