hi, argosy here again
anyway, ive been working on the straps/snaps system thats going to hold my armor together, and im now replacing the pentagon kneeplate for the diamond sandy-sniper kneeplate, and ive got it from sooty black to a nice off-white, after several dozen washings, and sanding on it some more to try for a nice and even dullness.
i recently got a pair of walmart nerf clonetrooper blasters, and one im converting to a BFG (DLT-19-ish variant), or atleast trying to, with a coatrack pipe and some wood, the other im leaving stock to go in the holster, blue and orange and all.
i also carved on the buttplate some to make it kinda thong-like and allow for easier walking and perhaps even sitting, and slitted the back of my boots to make flaps that can tuck under the calf armor, tho ill probably turn them into ankle boots with canvas straps anyway.
