How many of you guys would be interested in SPI armor?

im trying to get a good contract but i think they want more shields to do not just a hand full

 

[darkesword2020]

Tell them this, you want one for a sample. And if your satisfied, you will commision them to do more in the long run.

That's what I did with my clone trooper visors.

 

[link4044]

i did but they didnt respond back to me, so the search is still on

 

[darkesword2020]

Ok, I dare you to contact Oakley.

Even though they make sunglasses. i've heard of them doing custom visors for motorcycle stuff. I might be wrong about it though, but you could try them?

 

[link4044]

yeah they did some for AVP movie..i have a contact i might try

 

[darkesword2020]

Alright, keep in touch. I'd love to know what they say when you tell them.

 

[link4044]

ok will do

This is a question for everyone.

Does anyone have any good pics of the SPI armor?

Heck a 3d model would be amazing if someone had it... :mrgreen:

Here is my email : sithbanshee2020@yahoo.com

If you guys have some pics please, by all means email them to me so I can get this suit as accurate as possible. I only have the book...so it's not the greatest for concept drawings to turn into the real thing ;-)

 

[link4044]

a guy did one in another forum i'll have to look for it....there was a thread on in it

 

[darkesword2020]

Alright, thanks....I'm playing hooky from the real work I'm supposed to be doing anyways...

couldnt you just like vaccum form the shape, and then cut it out and use that instead? and get it tinted or something?

(im not really experienced with vaccum forming, so dont blame me if it sounds stupid)

 

[Sean Bradley]

Right.. thats what we're suggesting.

 

[abandonship]

What I was considering was a vacuumformed clear acrylic custom shaped visor that was spraypainted gold from the interior, but left transparent just the viewing area in the front. Then you could mount a gold HJC visor inside of that, to cover the transparent section.

It would be uniform from the exterior, would look solid gold, and be transparent enough to see though.

The double clear/solid gold like you suggested would work, but might slightly break character... in appearance anyway. Whenever you were walking around or doing anything you'd have to let people see your face inside...

i like sean's idea.

 

[Spartan 110]

i feel like an idiot cuz i didnt read that part

 

[darkesword2020]

I'm having loads of difficulty finding some good reference images of the SPI armor, so I figure I'll make an offer.

Whoever can find me some good reference images will get a great discount, once the armor is made and ready to go. ;-)

The only picture I have at the moment of the SPI armor is the one from the book, so if your going to give me that one, just know that I already have that one.

Thanks guys!

 

[Sean Bradley]

Do you want to time me?

Start in 3...2... GO!

 

[darkesword2020]

OK.


Lol.....let's see if you can find better pics than I did.

You know, you can always be creative yourself and make your own version based off the SPI on the front cover of the book.
It doesn't have to be exactly the same.

Make it unique.
Make it yours.
