Yep. Them's the three that wandered off on their own and don't appear in any of the other photos. Glad someone spotted them.

Does anyone else have any photos of us?

You said they turned out rough, I think they look great dude! Lots of hard work there.

The bad part is, I think we were stuck in this same spot getting pictures with everybody for 3 or 4 hours...

They were alright in a big group, but if you got close enough to really look at any of them, there were a lot of dings in the armor. Much of the problems had to do with properly fitting the girls. It's fairly easy to make a one-size-fits-all piece for male wearers, but female body types show a much greater variety of shapes and sizes. In reality, we could've used another week or so worth of test-fitting and alterations in order to make everybody look as sharp as I'd've liked. Oh well.

In other news, one of my buddies just sent me a link to this video:

You can see most of us at the 0:23 mark or thereabouts:

Can I just say, this is quite possibly one of the most impressive things I've ever seen! Well done!

 

[thorssoli]

Thanks. I'm hoping to have a few of them walking around at the Maker Faire in San Mateo in a couple of weeks.

In the meantime, I found another handful of photos of us here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/ron_frazier/sets/72157652375400915/

Very impressive, well done!

Wow that's some serious production line you've got there. Amazing job! How long did the whole process take?

 

[RalfSkunk]

a few months overall. the pace got a lot faster later in the build.

Hi Ralfskunk any chance you could do kits for armor and do you make any weapons I'm going to try and make a cpt Rex from between clone wars and rebels any help would be appreciated

I thought you guys had built the one on the left.

So I know you guys aren't going for 501st, but here's a comparison of the Jango Arena pack and the Bo Katan / Nite owl pack:

The Nite Owls, most of the grunts (including the Airborne), and even the Shadow collective use the one on the right, albeit painted differently. Occasionally you'll see the long topper if they're using the rockets to fire at someone, but more often than not it's the stubby topper.

The Pyro and later Pre Vizsla use different packs than the one above, but none I have seen use the Fett style pack. Do you have screen grabs I'm not aware of?

Once again, not trying to stick a thumb up at your work, because it's impressive to say the least, but asking and commenting more for personal knowledge!

I thought you guys had built the one on the left. I didn't quote my last comment sorry
