I finally got around to commencing on the guard project, and have been in the planning stages for a couple of weeks now. The project hit a major roadblock this week as I lost my income and my girlfriends income was cut in half along with a bunch of other kicks in the teeth. I am aware the helmet issues and while I thought about using pepakura, I decided against it. I just got my access to the forums this week. Free Pepakura Filesĭon't use pepakura, and be aware the protectors don't have approval levels, so it needs to be spot on. The royal guard helmets don't let you move your neck, and they run kinda small, so ask around. They have list of parts and helmets, and supplies and so forth. Sadly, finding boots that are over the knee and come to a point is not easy considering that most boots like that I find are for women and have heels.Out of curiosity, I know that most armor created for the 501st is made from ABS and vacformed, but could I possibly use sintra to make the armor?I'm not having any luck locating vendors for the armor and the pep files I had for kir kanos are long gone and I cant replace them either.ĭefinitely, and always head to the detachment forums. I am already planning out the belt items ans trying to figure out the boots. Considering tue next couple weeka are finals for me, it'll be a little slower. Most of the hard parts are printed now, just one more blade and the majority of it should be done.Īfter that ill work on wrapping the staff. Ive already started on the flavor using my 3d printer. Its actually cheaper to go through them than it is to sew it myself.While I'm still planning the rotj guard, ive started the Kit Kanos things. I have good sewing skills but betting at $20/yd is asking for trouble. I was doing the scouti g on materials to build the robes and velvet is ridiculous. Imperial boots is awesome and they ship fast! I buy anything I can use from them as their gear is good qualityGood to know. A character I have always enjoyed.Īt the time of this writing, I have already 3D modeled most of the glaive, I am just waiting for the admin to add me to the site so I can get approval on whether it should work.Any help going forward would be of great help. So I will either be building my own using pepakura or I will 3D print it.Įither way I have the files for it and it isn't hard to change the scale.at the same time, I plan to work slowly on a Kir Kanos build as well. Unfortunately, I have a big noggin and I don't want to make the mistake of buying a helmet that is too small for me. I have already sourced out a supplier throughThe hardest part for me going forward with this would be the helmet. To start with, I will go simple to start and use the ROTJ model. After doing some better research than I did for the RC kit, I came up with the Imperial Guard. So after the armor I bought didnt live up to what I had hoped for the RC, I have changed my mind on what I want to do.
