  1. Haven't been here for a while and am happy to see the responses to my questions. I have made several improvements to the molds, most specificly detail lines. I do agree that the detail was lacking a bit on the forearms in the pull, with the greeblies attached. Going forward, again, the greeblees are seperate resin pieces.

     

    I ask again, if anyone can share more hi res pics of the areas of concern I would be thankful,

  2. I understand there are issues with my armor. The most apparent is the abdomen section.

    Now when I decided to make this armor the second pic was the most detailed pic I had as well as some screen caps

    The point I am trying to make here is that as good as the other makers armor is, it is more Jedi than sith , by looking at the pictures. the area between the chest and abdomen armor looks more like the under suit than part of the armor, in the pics. There is no center diamond shape on the chest armor for the sith.

    If I am wrong please LMK. That is why I made both Jedi And Sith abdomen sections. I will admit my shoe armor need to be improved but, I need to know why my armor is not approvable. It was made from all available images. If someone has hi res images to share please do so. I am not trying to start a conflict here I just want information.

  3. OK, I have finally finished making the molds fro the average size female armor. I did sell one set to Mizuno

    Here on this board!!! The armor is just like the petite set except a little bigger to fit more Fem-Knights

    LMK if you are interested and I will send Pics as I rushed the set out and forgot to take pics.

  4. Is this approved?????

     

    How do I get it approved as I am the first to make it?

     

    You would submit the pics to your GML along with reference material to back up any choices you made. The GML would then post it up to the GML forum where the LMOs, DLs and GMLs of the Legion will discuss the costume and make a decision.

     

     

    Thank You Brother for the Tip!!!!

  5. _Jaster":1s0xwjiq]Hey mate, any chance of getting the hand plates in ABS at some stage? the resin seems a bit heavy and fragile.

    Those hand plates without the claws can be thrown as hard as you can to the ground and they will not break. The resin is amazing. You can sand out the back side to make them lighter, I just didnt have a chance to do for people as everything came together at the last minute.

  6. May I ask what type of material are those blocks/sheets you are sculpting? Are they easy to carve and sand?

     

    I have always used oil clay sculpts and hard shell molds for my hard parts.

     

    Thanks.

    Bill, I use MDF=medium density fiberboard=lowes $32 for 4'/8' sheet

    it glues fast and carves/sculpts quickly with a grinder. I also use a beltsander, files a palm sander and bondo to smooth everthing out!!!!

  7. Hello Troops, I have decided to create vacuform molds for female IK armor for 5"0"- 5'6" tall women.

    This armor is about 25% smaller than the male armor so it will fit a smaller frame.

    here are a few pics of the molds, I am only finshed with about half of the molds and some of the others are almost finished. I will post updates here.

    I also tried my hand at sewing my undersuit! Making the quilted lines was easier than I thought but getting them to flow properly is a challange, anyone have any tips?!

    I used a simplicity vest pattern and modified it, not too bad considering I dont really know what I was doing, but I had an Idea!

  10. Thank you for the kind words!!!

    I started this project 2 years ago after attending SDCC 09 and discovered Legacy. I started sculpting in foam but due to life getting in the way of fun my project was put on hold. Since I started sculpting this particular set it has taken approx 2 months to complete all the pieces, (too much free time on my hands)

    Here are a few more pics!!!

  11. Hello All, I have been very busy sculpting my Imperial Knight project. Since there were several artists that contributed to the look of the armor, they all had subtle differences, all of this has been covered before, The reason I bring it up is that I had taken artistic liscense when sculpting these pieces, while staying true to the artists concepts.

    I started off in cardboard-fiberglass the inside and out then sculpted with bondo.

    Everything is done, and I have made silicone molds for everything but the torso which will be done in the next week or so.
