Crimson Empire/Royal Guard/senate guard armor update pics!

[Jumpin Jax]

A long time ago, in a state of interest
I have finished the last mold for the Crimson Empire/senate guard/royal guard/ Kir Kanos and Carnor Jax armor! :thumbsup It was a lot of work, but totally worth it.
Here is a current shot of my own armor on a mannequin:

These are pics of the brand new parts, fresh from forming:

Left gauntlet top, the bottom is a blank cuff.

New shoulder bells, in two sizes. Large fits most, I also made a slimmer one for smaller shoulders.
And this one I am really glad is done B)

The right gauntlet, as seen in many drawings and also on the Hasbro action figure. The right will have two of these, with the smooth greeblies covering both sides as pictured. I will paint these parts when I get a chance, but in the meantime, please PM or write me with any questions or requests. The total is 12 pieces: 2 pecs, three ab plates, 1 belt buckle, [attachmentid=13319] two gauntlets (4 pieces) and two shoulder bells in the kit. All parts are styrene. Now, it's time to sleep

A convention weekend slowed things up, but I will get the whole costume up soon. For now, here's the some small size shoulders painted:

I had no interest in reading the comics. But I like what I'm seeing here. Do you have a pic of what you are working from?

hay nice looking gaurd there

i did this about two years ago for my wife it was just a mix of crimson and my own design

 

[Jedi Loreen]

There's a lot of red in those first pics. Between you, the Clone Commando, the bench, kids in the back ground in red jackets...

Nice, but the only thing I don't like is seeing that bare patch of skin at your right wrist in a few shots, kind ruins the illusion for me.

[/b]

It was the skin, NOT the lil' Vader beside him that ruined the illision?
LOL, I thought that was funny.
Anyway, nice job, the suit looks nice.

 

[Jumpin Jax]

Nice Bobataff. I can't get enough red, myself
These are a couple of reference shots for this suit, the styles change but I picked ones that looked fairly constant.

Nice work JJ :thumbsup

And here is the right gauntlet in two pieces. Attaching them with straps from within or shims from the outside seems the best assembly method.

This is looking Bad ^%#. I love the crimson empire series armor and characters, and its been a suit I have wanted to realize for a long long time.

Very Interested in the progress.
