Competition: Armour Fit for Combat

Finished
Armour Fit for Combat

You have been commissioned by the Brotherhood's Armourers to design a suit of armour that would be suitable for our elite combat troops. The armour needs to provide a decent level of protection yet still be flexible enough to wear.

The armour must fit within the confines of the Star Wars universe, and must have the appearance of practicality. Other than that you are free to be as creative as your imagination will allow you to be.

You may use any format available to you, no technique will be considered over any others.

The "Firebreather" armor is a favorite among Gunslingers who want to be at the very thick of a firefight. Interchangeable armor segments are arranged in a way that protects the exposed limbs of a prone shooter aiming a rifle, while lobstered plate allows a modicum of flexibility. The Mandalorian armors of old have been a design influence, as well as some more exotic armors.

Pauldron is the only real deterrent of agility as the underlayer is made of durable and protective yet light metal sheets covering only the vital body parts. The overlayer (gray stuff) is a thin fabric that gives minor protection to other extremities
