Back in the saddle - foam armour for my kids

[Jme]

Looks like a murder scene

So, you are using dish sponges as a filler to help the parts more snug? Brilliant! I have to steal that idea.

Six pack at Dollarama for $1.50

I bought eight packs.

So after staring at it for the last couple if hours, I have decided to cut a section out of the back of each shin to make them smaller.

I have to cut them to add Velcro in any event so I may as well do a little extra surgery.

But that is a job for tomorrow.

Prep the OR!!! We need a foam surgeon......S.T.A.T.!!!

I swear they just happened to be sitting on the bed like this.

3 Spartans... what are you calling your fire team?

Fire team Duck?

Last name is Stuart so I was thinking Sierra with a Lion Rampant as our sigil (which also happens rot be in my family crest).

Playroom/shop is a little cluttered from strapping/padding.

You can also see that I have the base coats done on my rifle, just need to do some weathering.

You have a family crest????? Fancy.
Dirtdives would you happen to have a family crest?

 

[Dirtdives2424]

Actually yes.....my daughter drew one up a bout 2 years ago w/ a family slogan; "You're all just short to us". I have to find the pic of it for you.

 

[Jme]

Oh!

I have also decided on my next project (besides boots and new shins for the kids).

Mandalorian Legacy armour

Kind of like this

But with a colour scheme like this

It should be interesting as it is a whole new building technique using Sintra (a type of pvc board that you cut and shape). The main build will probably be through The Mandalorian Mercs with a non-halo build thread here.

The idea is that if we go to Fan Expo or ComicCon we can be Fireteam Sierra one day and do Star Wars Cosplay the other (with the girls in last years’s costumes or even pull out the jawas and I as a Mando).

In case you forgot

Last year

Jawas

I feel left out.

Jme Sweet, Mando battle armour. The Jawas look great, how did your get the lights to float in place like that?

twins?

Nope, three years apart.

I am 6 feet tall, my wife is 4 feet 11 and 1/2 inches (that 1/2 is apparently VERY important).

The eldest daughter got my wife's height, the younger got mine, so they just about even out.

Everyone thinks they are twins though.
