My Navy Commando

[stevechewbacca[TX]]

Hi guys ! I wanted to share the pics of my finished armor. I got it validated earlier this week almost 3 months after I submit these ^^" I'm very happy to get it validated as I worked a lot on it, especialy on the helmet. I have to thank Wicker Man for his help

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

At first, I thought it would be a FISD armor so the WIP topic can be seen here : http://www.whitearmo...y-commando-wip/ Cheers !

So guys, here is the WIP of the armor. I'll keep the helmet for another post

 

It took me about a year to get all the separate parts. Some were B grades, some were donations.

 

 

I used some ikea furnitures accessories to make some details :

 

And I glued it on the chest :

 

The knees were made of Worbla and foam :

 

 

I bought a KWDesign animated pouch :

 

And I assembled and modified it the proper way :

 

 

 

 

Fixing the ankle ammos :

 

And the knees :

 

A friend of mine made me 2 detonator kits :

 

 

Then I prepared the belt :

 

 

 

 

 

And I just had to finish up some parts and build the strapping :

And next : the soft parts and pouches !

 

An old suit I resized to fit me well

 

The pouches

 

 

 

Paintig the whole armor

 

And adding the last detail :

 

 

Tomorrow, the helmet

Very cool Steve. Thanks for sharing.

[stevechewbacca[TX]]

You're welcome

 

So, as promised, here're the pics of the helmet building.

 

I made a first attempt that I disliked so I destroyed it. But, let me show you

 

The first part I get : a Kasshyyk faceplate and 2 snow trooper parts

 

 

 

I put some bondo and resin on it :

 

 

 

 

But, I was not happy with it, the dome shape was really bad so I put it in a closet for a while until that day...

 

 

Then I ordered a tk cap and back and restart the build :

 

I put some rivets

 

The back was made with another piece of snow back and worbla to fix it the proper way. I also add some bondo on the front to correct the shape.

 

After some layers of mastic :

 

 

 

Adding the details :

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And : Voilà !

 

Hope it helps for future builds

Great build I am very unfamiliar with this costume but from what I can see you put a lot of work into it and it came out great.
