i have read that also about the colors in the KOTOR era but i have not read what ranks the colors mean. i have played both KOTOR games and cant remember what the ranks are on those either. i remember the fisrt time i saw Empire Strikes Back and saw Boba Fett and thought it was some really cool armor and he looked like a bad (expletive deleted) bounty hunter. i think i am going to go with colors that are my favorites and keep it simple.
Thats a very good point Chekar. That does answer that bit of curiosity i had about the colors, thanks. I can see why they're your favorite colors white does go with everything and chome is basicly the same as silver
this might sound like an odd question but when it comes to back armor does it help to make it from one whole piece or can you still get the same effect out of putting the left and right sides together seperatly?
I was thinking black and blue(because of busting my knuckles and smashing fingers while work) and red(because of the blood that seems to fallow after), lol.
I found this list of color meanings on wookieepedia(and this is going by what they have): Grey - Mourning a Lost Love Red - Honoring a Father Black - Justice Gold/Yellow - Vengeance/Revenge Green - Duty Blue - Reliability Orange - A Lust for Life
i would think that there would be more meanings to other colors(for example white or silver) somewhere as well or maybe have the same meanings due to the different color shades.
At this point I'm also looking forward to seeing what the color scheme is going to be too, lol. I think I'll keep it simple for right now, I can always go back and repaint it or make another set at a later time
well this is my first attemp at making anything like this but i feel pretty good about it so far. i have tons of ideas and have been working on getting materials together. i see alot of potential in the things that i do have so far. i dont have much in the way of pictures but i will keep taking them as i go and i am sure i will have tons of questions as i progress. first pic is of chest and shoulder armor. second one is of things i am going to use and turn into weapons and use for part of the helmet.
theres a company here in kansas city called "metal by the foot" and i have gotten stuff from them for cars in the past and they carry various sizes and thicknesses of sheet metal
never thought about using a jump suit. guess its time to visit the army surplus store. thanks for the help on that. i have been thinking long sleeve turtle neck shirt and military type pants all week, lol
