Irish Kir Kanos build

Post by Brightwater »

hi guys, i've been on these boards for quite a while now and thought it was about time I got off my lazy butt and did something. I've already a couple of SW coatumes...Sev RC and Boba Fett but I've always like the Royal Guards...so after a but of juggling and selling my Rex costume, I've managed to bag myself a very nice royal guard...finally.
Now as I'm sure you guys know...one costume is never enough and after a good old chat with a few mates from the Emerald Garrison I've decided to have a crack at Kir kanos...I just LOVE the armour.
After a good old hunt around i did manage to find some armour but I wasnt happy with the size, shape nor the quality....so I talked it over with my friend and we decided to just go ahead and make our own....well when i say we i mean our very own, Lonewolf (from these very same boards) who just took the bull by the horns and went for it...heres were we are at the mo....please feel free to comment..help..point out etc etc
Oh and please remeber this is a work in progres and knowing use bits will change lol

This is the kind of thing we're were going for...well kind of anyway

Heres the chest bits

Looking very good. Where did you get the red plastic and did you have to buy a ton of it due to the minimum order quanity from your supplier?
