mandalorian armor

Mate, what a fun hobby!!!

My mind goes crazy with ideas....
There is some kewl motorcycle clothing around these days which has integrated padding over different areas, would make a great base for this sort of thing to be added over the top.

Integrate a waterproof tablet case into the back under the armor and somehow have it slaved to a phone on your forearm, bluetooth comm's in the helmet. If it was temperature controlled I might never take it off
:S :side:

The torso is nearly done with assembly, just have to attach the shoulder plates...then assemble the shin plates...then it's time for prep/paint and final fitting

Lol I've actually considered putting a bluetooth in the helmet and installing a phablet (phone/tablet) into a forearm guard....

This is fantastic! I admire your work.

Lol, that's what happens when you have a hyperactive mind and too much free time...now if only I could earn a living doing stuff like that...

At first it looked like you were making an Iron Man suit... I'd be interested to see if it will stop low-power bullets...

Maybe a .22 caliber...if it hits the plate and not the space between them....bet it would still hurt like hades without padding...

yeah just put it against a hay bale and shoot it. see what happens. Even the best body armor hurts when hit. no way around it. the key is to live

Due to an aesthetic change I'm going to have 2 plates available for testing....and I've got a good solide .22 rifle, plus a sawed off .410 with birdshot, 000buckshot, slugs, and .45 long colt as well as access to a .9mm....

I can give you the chemical process for a jet pack lol... Theres a forge that Ive been working on getting set up and Ill be making Manadalorian full combat armor as well..Where did you get your basic materials from? and the kevlar?
