It's lame, but honestly until you mentioned it I had never noticed that a TIE pilot is a TK face

Very nice! You did great work on it. Thats awesome the way the TK boots turned put as well, overall great job

I havent tried attaching my plates to the new vest yet, its a tighter fit as it velcros in the back instead of the sides as seen in the pictures. From the back i am able to tighten it or loosen it as much as needed. I've also got to figure out how im gonna attach my cod and thigh plates, as well as my holsters for my Westar variant pistols onto my belt.

So do you think mercs/501st would be acceptable with the shoulders moved down farther? Main thing that bugs me when i look at my vest is the armpits, thats the main reason that it keeps getting reworked. Just keeps bulging out on the sides

These were from halloween, my new vest is constantly being tailored by my nana. The plates for the shoulders are the biggest ones, while i actually kinda like the way that my chest plates cover my full torso. I may need new shoulders eventually though. I need to get some new pics taken of it all assembled, waiting until i finish reworking my visor. Had to de-warp the T area because its to wide in the pics.

Just thought i'd post up a few pics here of my new Verpine Sniper Rifle ;D 36" barrel, 50" for the overall length ;D Ani'latoon'alor (ultimate leader in mando'a) is etched into the barrel The laser light on the scope actually works ;D And me holding the base of it (barrel needs to be screwed in still) Hope you guys like it

This is obviously for the people that don't know the 501st exist, if it gets bought it'll be some poor folk that think that because it costs so much it must be fantastic.

Alright, here are some updated pics for getting it at least geared up for work on Halloween: First we have a college school spirited pic The shins aren't my ones that i'm gonnna use, but the stormie shins haven't been payed for yet (said he'd hold em until i got my paycheck)

Here are a couple pics from my mando build: (Those gaunts are only for halloween, can't use that material for applications) (The black stripes still needs to be weathered) My balaclava and how nicely it covers my neck And some things that I plan to add: Eventually gonna add a orange pauldron And TE2 shins that I'm gonna buy from MightyTank The kit is in no way perfect, but it's on the way to getting done. The plates were a little off on the vest, because i don't have velcro holding it yet (just tape in the pictures). And I need a new visor in the bucket because it's WAY to wide. Hope you like it so far, the complete WIP thread since the begining is on the Mando Mercs site: http://mercs.firespray.net/forum/index.php?topic=29764.0

I just realized that this is in the wrong section....is there a way to move it to the non-TK section?

Adding a rubies boba would definetly fit perfectly with this one

Stormtrooperguy, after seeing your Pre vizsla, I'm sure you could make any mando look great.

I'll be honest, I'm a member of the Mandalorian Mercs Costume Club before a trooper, but both sides do have their downsides. Personally I chose to do a mando first merely because I liked them more. As well as the "mando-ing" aspect of custom paint jobs, it helped to get to do my first foray into costuming the way I wanted it to look. And yes, there are members of the mercs that I sometimes wonder how they got in, or why a Hot Wheelsesque painted helmet is ok. And then there are people who look pretty mir'shebs in their beskar'gam. But looking at the mercs CRLs and work done by the members, then looking at a few 501st Boba's whose coloring is not even the same green, it just made me want to do mandalorians justice jn my own way. On te other hand I've always liked the stormies, the armor is awesome looking and the weapons are killer looking (even if they can't do jack squat with them) I just favor the idea that you get to choose your own paintjob, and make a backstory to go with every dent and scratch your merc had come across. And truly never have liked the idea of trooping with a painted nerd gun. My current sidearm was a mixture of parts that I added together and gave a nice black paintjob to it. That way it has a more blaster feel. Soooooo yeah, that's my take on the comparisson. Sorry for going against TKs to favor mandos, don't shoot me (not that stormtroopers could hit me. Sorry I tried to resist that I really did )

I've seen your work on the Mercs forums, looks great ner'vod.
