Hello again RPF'ers!
I am back with another project! I hope nobody is getting tired of me yet. Anyway, I didn't get the chance to go to Star Wars Celebration Six last year. Nor did I get the chance to go to Celebration Europe this year. I did however attend Celebration five a few years back and it was a life changing experience! I'm sure everybody here knows that Celebration Seven will be held at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, California from April 16th to the 19th. Tickets go on sale august 7th at 7:00 PM. I plan on attending and I want to have a completely unique costume. I like building kits that are unique and haven't been done before. I have searched and searched and have found only TWO people who have build Mandalorian Neo Crusader armor from Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic. My goal is to have the third and best kit and done it for Celebration Seven!!!!! Aaaaaaannnd..... REFERENCE PICS!!!
I am choosing the Blue armor set because of the rank it represents. As a WWII reenactor representing an officer or high ranking official is seen as pompous and and generally frowned upon by serious reenactors. To be accurate we represent the grunt infantrymen on the front lines. To do the same with this kit I have chosen the blue color scheme because it is the lowest rank in the Mandalorian structure. Blue represents recruits, Crimson represents Rally Masters, and Gold Represents Field Marshals.
This will be my third costume build here and it is one that I plan on taking ALOT of time and effort to construct. I have two years before Celebration and I plan on taking that time to construct a great costume that is not only high quality but as screen accurate, and functional as I can make it.
I hope that this project can gain me some recognition from the veterans here. I don't merely wish to build for the fun of it. That is a huge part but I wish to gain experience and skills above all. I wish to reach the levels of the great masters of out group. If any of the more experienced builders here have any tips I would greatly appreciate them. Wish me luck!!! Ill have some progress updates by the end of the week (hopefully).
