Southscout Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 In the 501st costume reference library, it says to use cotton fabric. I see in the how-to, that you used beaver nylon. Is that aproved? And why did you use it. Is the beaver nylon more tough and durable? Sith Lord I wanted a light shine on the fabric (long discussion here somewhere). I haven't used it in a while though since I also have a normal cotton one. It's quite hot... Only good thing really with it is that I can pour coffee over it :-) Skickat från min LG-D802 via Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sith Lord Posted April 17, 2015 Author Share Posted April 17, 2015 Started on the shoes. I'm not too happy with the soles on these. But they were the only one i found that was in my budget now. If the final result is bad, I'm going to make some new, with a better shoe. Sith Lord Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sith Lord Posted April 17, 2015 Author Share Posted April 17, 2015 Filled the shoes with plastic bags to keep the shape while glueing. Sith Lord Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sith Lord Posted May 6, 2015 Author Share Posted May 6, 2015 To make the calf thicker so it will stand, I attached a layer of thick cotton fabric using "Iron-on-adhesive. Sith Lord Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paradoxdj Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Your build is looking great! You've come up with some pretty clever ways of lining things up and masking things off. I like that laser trick you did for the tank. Well done! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am a complete newbie on building, sewing etc, but.... your pics of your armor is helping me! How did you determine where you had to drill the holes for the rivets? and the distance between the boxes? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sith Lord Posted December 8, 2015 Author Share Posted December 8, 2015 Which rivets do you mean? The ones on the belt? Sith Lord 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sibbel29 Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Thanks wookievader, I am going to, otherwise it would definately a fail haha!! @sith lord: yes the rivets on the belt, the ones to connect the belt sidepieces to the centerpiece. I suppose they should be symmetric, so same distance from the box, same height etc.. Thanks! I cant wait starting as well, now I have some spare time Verzonden vanaf mijn iPhone met Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
