Thxboy Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 So, having a 8 year old that loves her dad, loves Star Wars and loves the fact her dad is Darth Vader on most weekends is pretty awesome. The only thing more awesome is when she sees my building a biker scout and asks "can I be a scout too?" After I stopped weeping for joy I caught the amazing thread from our resident mini-trooper expert Walt an we were off to the races! I'll try and get commentary from Cora as often as I can. So build plan is: Armor and bucket - Walt Bund, boxes - Cora's' dad (thxboy) Boots - Cora's dad (thxboy) Flight suit - tbd (any ideas?) Flak vest - Cora's dad (thxboy) Gloves - tbd (ideas?) I've been looking for gloves and flight suit. I think everything is too big. Any idea would be helpful but I'll get ambitious and build whatever I can.

kathgruben Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 For the flightsuit, you might want to consider a two-piece instead of a one-piece, since she is a growing little girl who might need to hit the ladies room a few times during an event A black turtleneck/mockneck shirt and black leggings might be easiest.

Thxboy Posted February 16, 2015 Author Share Posted February 16, 2015 I ordered Cora the black flight suit from mypilotstore.com. I spoke with them about measurements and she is a medium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thxboy Posted September 27, 2015 Author Share Posted September 27, 2015 Been a while since I've had an update but fear not! I've been busy. Cora grew and I need to sew up a shim for her cumberbund. Need to also find gloves and finish her boots. Great kit Walt! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pandatrooper Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Looking good. For gloves, just find basic no cuff gloves that fit her and not too bulky / hot. See your own gauntlet to simulate the screen used Esprit glove. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
