SWTOR Late Cruzader - Kalyope Ordo
Hi everyone!
I am a long time planning my armor and has changed several times.
About a year and a half ago, I hired a person to print the helmet on a 3D printer. We combine delivery to before Jedicon will happen in my city in August this year. The model I chose for its my favorite, was this:
But I realized the difficulty that the person was having because he failed to extract the game texture and would have to make the mold starting from zero, so after a good talk, we agree that the model of Shae Vizla would be easier to him, and I like that model too.
He made some progress in the construction helmet. Printed part of the lateral and top.
But last night, after all this time, he told me that the helmet will not be ready in time.
Well, the way then is to look for another alternative. The Rakata Emilinator Helmet is a dream, but will never be ready in time for the event, so I'll try to find someone else to do the helmet of Shae Vizla for me.
The armor that always wanted to do is also the Rakata Eliminator (or Mandalorian Clansman), but it is also too complex to be ready in time.
So I decided to make this armor:

Re: SWTOR Late Crusader - My Plans
I just decided to not even on the jetpack. I believe that by having a hurry, I will not do it for now.
As the material is fiberglass or PVC. I even like to do in metal, but it would be impossible (and very very very expensive) to do this here in Brazil in time.
I even know someone who knows maybe doing in metal, but besides not have time for that, he's a Merc, then ... no way!

Re: SWTOR Late Crusader - My Plans
Well, metal isn't that expensive. It's more the tools that can cost a fortune.
But I agree with you, that this type of armor is very complicated to do in metal. (I made one of the swtor mandos myself, so I know about it. ^^)
You have some(relative) plain surfaces here, so I think using PVC plates and stabilize them with fiberglass is the easiest way for the upper body.
The helmet shows a good progress so far, but 3d printing takes a lot of time and gluing the parts together is also very tricky. But it seems to work out for you.
Keep goin'
Oya!

Re: SWTOR Late Crusader - My Plans
I intend to learn to work with aluminum, for a future project.
Here in Brazil, everything is more expensive than it should, but I was looking aluminum plates and cost about 28 euros, a plate of 1000mm X 500mm.
This helmet printed in 3D will no longer be done. I'll have to do in fiberglass, probably.

Re: SWTOR Late Crusader - My Plans
I asked Jakkrit if he can make a Pepakura model of the Rakata Eliminator Helmet
I need this, too

Re: SWTOR Late Crusader - My Plans
I would love to do the Rakata Eliminator helmet instead Shae Helmet, although I like him very much, my favorite is the Eliminator.
Sennar, SWTOR is my addiction! I play since launch, but play on a US server, because Server Lag.

Re: SWTOR Late Crusader - My Plans
Haha Don't know if you can see my (eternal) Project, but I knew that we already designed the helmet...a little different maybe.
But I don't know if I'm allowed to show it. One of the Boys can do it if he want ^^
I play on Vanjervalis Chain because of the Roleplay.

Re: SWTOR Late Crusader - My Plans
No, I think we only have a file for 3D-Print. There is also the problem that this file has not been tested yet.
Our member Jakkrit is creating a Pepakura model of the helmet at the moment. But this will take some time.

Re: SWTOR Late Crusader - My Plans
Update:
Jaro helped me a lot, making these templates. Now only remains to be done the chest, hands and backplate. Pretty soon will be real!
Thank you very much, Jaro!

Re: SWTOR Late Crusader - My Plans
News: I bought some tools, Scissor for metal, Feile, Pliers rivets, drill, some drill bits for metal. Also bought aluminuim plates 0.8 mm x 1000 mm x 500 mm.
I can not believe I'll even do (or try) this metal. Oo
I hope everything goes right.
Post pics soon

Re: SWTOR Late Crusader - My Plans
I started to cut the plates this weekend.
I live in an apartment and so there is not much space to work, so I'll take it all to my grandmother's house, which has a large backyard, anvil and has a lot of tools that I dont have. This will facilitate the work!
The helmet, I bought one made by Jaro.
Well, it's happening ^ ^

Re: SWTOR Late Cruzader - Kalyope Ordo
There was a jedicon in my town last Saturday and I used my armor. Not ready yet. It is full of errors.
The belt was low. My grandmother sewed the suit for me and made the straps to belt far below the waistline and I did not saw this error in time.
The vest was also done wrong, despite all the photos and explanations that I gave to my grandmother, she is very stubborn and only made the way she thought was right, even if I ask for something different. To resolve this, I ordered a corset made on measure, modified with shoulder pads. Should be ready until next month.
The shoulders are also wrong. But what bothers most is the belly. As I move a lot, I did a piece of painted EVA (temporary, only for this event) to cover the belly, but it was awful and I cut out early in the event. I'm thinking of how to make metal and maintain mobility.
Well, I have no good pictures. I was helping to organize the event, then barely had time for photos. But I provides them so that the whole project is complete.
I used my armor the whole event (8 hours) without any problems. Nowhere dropped or disassembled. I did not feel uncomfortable. I think so far is ok.

There is a better video, but the person recorded has not changed the privacy to public. As soon as possible I show to you guys.
So back to the work table!

Re: SWTOR Late Cruzader - Kalyope Ordo
Looks great, just the modifixation you mentioned yourself and its a pretty badass set you got there.
But maybe you should add the base plates on the shoulders.
