bwattsup Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 You're doing great Jim. Don't let this be an obstacle towards your completion. A solution will present itself, and you'll have a great costume finished soon. Keep it up! You're getting closer 2
Retrofire Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 You're looking great and I've been following you for encouragement (and bleeding stories) especially with my cursed boots . Maybe talk to one of the armorers or Pandatrooper they're all really pros at making the SC armor look awesome no matter what! I still can't wait to see your approval pics so get to work Pathfinder!

Guest Forrest Patrol Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 some more to add from today started on the forearms added loop Velcro to inside of forearm stiched the hook to the elastic and boom one more thing done Are you using slots for the forearm strap as well, like the bicep? Just isn't clear to me from the pic.
wookieevader Posted September 2, 2015 Author Posted September 2, 2015 yes I am. bad angle for the pic here are some better pics of the elastic forearm outside inside biceps outside inside
Guest Forrest Patrol Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 (As Emperor Palpatine) Ahh yesss...
zarintyr Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 How much were these. I'm thinking to have my mom send me a pair from the states.
wookieevader Posted September 2, 2015 Author Posted September 2, 2015 The boots? Or the armor kit?? Sent from my LGLS990 using Tapatalk
01Hawk Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 Think the price of the boots - they have a new boot thread started
wookieevader Posted September 3, 2015 Author Posted September 3, 2015 If i can remember less than 30$ Sent from my LGLS990 using Tapatalk
Retrofire Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 I snagged mine for $19.00 from the local Kmart. I've sent items to Japan and I know it isn't cheap unless you have an APO.
wookieevader Posted September 4, 2015 Author Posted September 4, 2015 got the laser cut TD clips from chief painted and ready for installation and screwed to the tube and on the back piece of the belt..... 1
wookieevader Posted September 5, 2015 Author Posted September 5, 2015 my new nylon belt arrived today..... I needed more material to finish my belt. is this ok cus this is what I got? The top is what comes from SC and the bottom is my new belt. comments?
wookieevader Posted September 6, 2015 Author Posted September 6, 2015 ok I added the supplied Velcro supplied by SC to the new belt I have. then I added the strap to the belt. Being one of the troopers that had extra ewok at the BBQ dinner I attached the strap a little farther in.....attached it to the inside of the first box and then I secured it to where the end of the belt is with glue and a pop rivet
Guest Forrest Patrol Posted September 6, 2015 Posted September 6, 2015 Being one of the troopers that had extra ewok at the BBQ dinner I attached the strap a little farther in.....attached it to the inside of the first box and then I secured it to where the end of the belt is with glue and a pop rivet Don't eat too many of them ewoks or else you'll have to rivet 2 belts together 1
Guest Forrest Patrol Posted September 7, 2015 Posted September 7, 2015 mmmmmmmm.....Ewoks How about a frosty chocolate milkshake to go with your ewok-burger Sir? You know what they call an ewok-burger in France? Royale with cheese.... 2
wookieevader Posted September 7, 2015 Author Posted September 7, 2015 ok so I have done some more....not a lot but progress I added some stirrups to the bottom of the flight suit. I used 1 1/2 elastic for the loops and im trying to figure out the belt and drop boxes. here is how one side is setup temporarily have flight suit on so I can see how it looks belt is at my actual waist or maybe a little high
bwattsup Posted September 7, 2015 Posted September 7, 2015 I'd drop the belt to where it naturally rides at the top of your hips Jim. Looks a little high to me from that pic. I thought about doing the stirrup setup on my flightsuit as well, and then decided against it . I just didn't want something to potentially cause a blister when I could keep the pants leg down with velcro inside the boot. Let us know how it works out for you.
Guest Forrest Patrol Posted September 7, 2015 Posted September 7, 2015 Your belt should cover the bottom line of the cummerbund
wookieevader Posted September 7, 2015 Author Posted September 7, 2015 I didn't make my cummerbund yet. Got to get the belt right so i can get the proper length for the soft parts. Also got to get the chest armor right too Sent from my LGLS990 using Tapatalk
Guest Forrest Patrol Posted September 7, 2015 Posted September 7, 2015 Well I agree with Bazza, belt looks too high
bwattsup Posted September 7, 2015 Posted September 7, 2015 Well I agree with Bazza, belt looks too high lol, I like my new nickname. Bazza has a has a nice ring to it Thanks Forrest!
Guest Forrest Patrol Posted September 7, 2015 Posted September 7, 2015 Our UK way of being affectionate Barrington = Bazza Gareth = Gazza/Gaz Jim = Jimbo Rebecca = Reb/Becca/Becky @ wookievader - belt should rest on your hip bone or as close to 1
wookieevader Posted September 7, 2015 Author Posted September 7, 2015 ok now is the time I ask everyone to check the backside of my suit, should the mudflap be at the suit waistline or where the shorts line is? white line or red line?
