Kashyyyk Jacket and pants British 95 Desert need advice please


Recommended Posts

Hey Pathfinders

 

I found a local online surplus store that sells shirts and pants separately and I have sent them an email to confirm if the colors are the same for both items but.. if they are do you think they are fine to use?

They look right to me. Importantly, they're not the rip-stop material and the shirt is actually the shirt, not the heavy smock. I can't remember if the original ones were 100% cotton or a poly/cotton blend. Cotton is easier to dye but if it's a blend it shouldn't be a big issue.

Awesome thanks, Sac it's been a while since I focussed on the Kashyyyk I set a target to get it completed before December (fingers crossed)

 

I sent the company an email they said the shirt might be a little worn out color wise but I don't think that's going to matter much since it will be dyed?

 

Hows your built coming along?

Slowly mate. I've been working on the helmet, about finished the boots, trimming the armour a piece at a time when i get a chance. Still a bit 50/50 on whether I'm going to go with the material-covered 3D printed pouches or sew them with foam inside.

 

What size are you?

Might be worth getting tips off someone who's finished it ;) One of the guys here has velcro on the inside of the top corners so it can still be removed but I don't know if he's going to keep it there for the finished build.

SInce the visor really does not have a ton of stress on it (like ever) I e6000 the visor to the helmet and drilled small holes and installed 3/4" flat head screws (slightly countersunk) 4 total, and then filled the holes with bondo. Sanded smooth. Strong as hell, 5 years so far
