Montross, Open Seasons (Research Stages)

Post by jhart06 »

Here are the pics to what i've pulled from Open Seasons thus far... If the links including the full pages are too much, let me know and I can remove them and trim them to include only Montross.

As of now, this is just research... I am hoping I can find enough here to have a good chance at building a case fo approval with the 501st with this gentleman. If not, I will search amongst other approved and such, but this was suggested in lieu of Jaster.

Fairly Certain
-Standard Super-commando/Jango helmet, in what appears to be almost the same colors.
-Odd Shingled and recessed ear-caps, identical to Jaster's.
-Blue flightsuit that ends just above the elbows
-Flak vest of same or extremely close color
-Leather belt, Skull *not* mythosaur buckle
-Red square around/on chest plate
-Gray/dirtied bare metal armor with blue visor
-Combat boots, not boba style.
-Cod-piece
-Tattered blue half cape (ends at waist)
-Mitrinomon Transports Z-6 Jetpack (Boba's)
-Soft arm wraps with thumb slot, covers palm and back of hand to just below knuckles, same color as flightsuit
-Large mauser style pouch on right hip, indeterminate make and number otherwise
-Dirtied white, tan, or brown girth belt.

Guessed
-A knife appears in issue one, if the sniper in the window is Montross, at his hip. Possibly a beskad?
-Various blasters and weaponry, of no known origin or basis on real-life weaponry yet
-In various frames Montross appears to have nothing but a flightsuit, and all the way from boot, shin, knee, and thigh armor..
-Some frames also appear to have him having no codpiece, though most do, but not clearly enough to guess... Jango style in appearance
-Some frames appear to have shoulder bells, with a possible symbol that is never clear, but the perspective is never clear enough to determine yes or no.
-Can't particularly tell frame to frame if the shoulders are there for the flakvest like the Fett's, or not.
-Some frames he has both cape and jetpack, other only one or the other...
-Not sure of a good pair of boots to get that resemble his
-Flightsuit color is up in the air, as the shots he are in tend to be heavily weathered or skewed lighting wise..
-Same as above on flakvest.

That's about all I can compile, eyes are getting droopy... So some advice on what to do to recreate the blaster (particularly the one he wields when charging the ape lookin types, as I like the lines on it), colors particularly for flightsuits (mild color-blindness, dark blues and such all look black to me, along with others), boots that would work for his, etc...

I know someone mentioned that a helmet maker makes the greeblies for the side bits.. Only question is, the helmet I plan on getting isn't one they are made for, so would it be worth the risk of them being rendered useless?

Thanks for the warm welcome, and i'll plug away at this as i'm able to, as work should be picking back up by tomorrow. I hope.
