Original SITH Armor build WIP (pic heavy)

[Coldfury]

Here are a few pics of my original sith armor I've been working on. The old republic's influence mixed with the look of some of the Secret Apprentices armor. not really based off any character or armor, just trying to make sure it looks Sith.

sith mask concepts

thinking up concepts for the sith mask, figured I try combing the looks of my fav starwars baddies, Darth Nihilus, Darth Maul, and General Grievous, heres something I whipped up in MS paint just to see

Is that the bottom of a coke can you used on your boot? Looks good so far. Love that game.

I love this! I'm going to be working on some Old Republic inspired custom armor myself here pretty soon.

Re: Original Sith Armor build

Nice Work!!! Very Inspiring! It's really thick but looks flexible? What did you use for the armor?

Re: Original Sith Armor build

What kind of foam is that

Re: Original Sith Armor build

very nice

 

[Coldfury]

Re: Original Sith Armor build

The foam is just basic foam flooring tiles , smooth on one side, textured on the other... and yes that is the bottom of a coke can haha, Ive made sci-fi like armor before for other projects and its surprising how well they work and look when you need those circular accents ...or like ear cups on a helmet. I use em alot



check out the bottom for some pics of the steampunk armor I built, do notice the use of coke cans ha

Re: Original Sith Armor build

no new pics yet, just been sealing and priming some of the other armor pieces, plan on sculpting the mask next!

Re: Original Sith Armor build

i've been using that too, what r u using to cut it . I was using an X-acto Knife but it's slow

 

[Coldfury]

Sculpting is a gooooooo!!!

after not utilizing spring break the way i needed to to get stuff done i finally started sculpting the helmet for my sith, here are the results

I use an OLFA razor blade that extends so its easier to cut thicker foam, its freaking sharp! cut my finger once it happened so fast and was so sharp I didnt even feel it...then i saw the blood :confused

Olfa L-1 Heavy Duty Cutter / Knife

Can't believe this isn't getting more attention, but I love custom Star Wars costumes... I love what you have done so far.... What are you planning on doing for the soft parts?
