Old Republic - Havoc Squad Armor Build - ArmorMX

[Dday[501st]]

Understood!

 

Along those lines, does anyone have deferences to the Havoc squads defection? I know wookiepedia has a paragraph on it, it just says it happened, and eventually they were all tracked down and taken care of. More details would be great, if anyone knows where I can find them.

I don't know anymore than that. I think it's just Lucasfilm lore at this point. I don't recall having seen any artwork of the squad at that point.

We've started working on the shoulder straps now that the chest and back armor bucks will be completed today. The shoulder straps are interesting. You can't really see them but they have some really neat lines to them. It's a shame that they are mostly covered.

The helmet run is now open. I've posted the purchase info in the Ongoing Sales forum.

We will be adjusting these shoulder straps. They are a tad short. They are accurate but they do not fit a normal person well. Extending them by approximately 2". They look really good though. They are cast in a solid elastomer (rubber) and reinforced with a canvas webbing. The ends have 1/8" aluminum plate cast into them. The plate is drilled and tapped for a 10-32 button head screw. holes are drilled from the inside of the armor and the screws pull the straps to the armor. Solid lock. Very sturdy. The straps are not yet painted.

HELMET RUN - OPEN UNTIL DEC. 21ST

Our helmet run closes out on the 21st. The list will be updated. We are at about 1/2 capacity of our list. I will update it later today.

 

There are some other great helmet kits out there so if you miss out on this one, you will be able to get one of those to wear with the armor if you are intending on purchasing our armor.

Tonight we got a lot done. We drilled the final chest and back armor bucks. The ventilation holes ensure the details is captured during the vacuum forming process.

 

 

 

Shoulder bell, biceps and shoulder pad all had final coatings and will get molded. The shoulder bell and biceps will become vacuum form bucks and the shoulder pad will get molded twice in two-part molds. The shoulder pads will be cast in hyperfirm rubber. The rubber will be fairly light weight and durable but mostly, it will allow the shoulder bell to ride up higher at the proper level.

We were also able to remodel the shoulder straps longer by 2" tonight. We will 3D print them to save time and get them back into a mold quickly.

Version 2 of the shoulders straps....ready to mold

[bishopx]

I think it's time to get an interest list going since this is an interest thread... Obviously, price will be a factor for everyone. We all know what kit style armor usually goes for. I'm imagining this will be more expensive that normal kits that are out there but within reason. We'll nail down the price once we get closer.

 

We'd like to get a general idea of how many people will be interested in this armor as it will most definitely impact the price of the armor kit.

[bishopx]

Well. We got some final vac pulls back today. They look great. We were hoping to get 4 sets back but we got 2 sets....Someone can't count. they look great anyway.

 

 

 

[bishopx]

We've ordered 6 sets of the chest, back, shoulders and biceps. These sets will be distributed to the test builders and we'll help them assembled the sets to determine what problems others might have when trying to assemble the kits. We've assembled the test parts as we've gone through this project and haven't run into any problems.

 

Things we will be pre-assembling...

1. Visors on helmets will have the steel t-nuts installed out of the box.

2. Shoulder straps will have the threaded armatures pre-drilled for quick installation into chest and back armor.

3. Rubber gauntlets will be pre-assembled

[bishopx]

BAm! Rubber shoulder pads. Accurate style! These are, of course, raw and unpainted. A little Krylon semi-flat black and these are done. These are hyperfirm.

Wow. This looks utterly fantastic, I can't imagine the amount of work and man hours put in to this project. Like someone else mentioned, I would also be very interested in getting my hands on some of the Sith armour from the TOR trailers.

[St4rw4r5]

This armor looks amazing, will the helmet run be opening again soon? Or any of the armor for that matter? Looks great though guys, may the force be with you all!
