Third 'or I should say fourth times the charm. The new helmet is as wide as the small Helmet and as tall as the larger helmet. After seeing it for the first time I was worried it wouldn't be wide enough, but from the pictures you can't tell at all. I'm hoping to start getting photos of the individual parts this weekend. That looks amazing, dude! Yes, please get me those individual parts pics. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoshix Posted July 30, 2021 Author Share Posted July 30, 2021 I just went through the crl draft and the only problem I see with my costume is that my boots are white. This gives me two options, I could paint the boots I have or order the Beige Desert Military Boots. I'll look into buying the books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BikerScout007 Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Well wait. The draft is just a draft. How do your boots compare to the game image? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoshix Posted July 30, 2021 Author Share Posted July 30, 2021 I'm pretty sure for the older kashyyyk crl white was an option, that's why I went with white. From what I can tell the reference photos make them look a dark tan. I don't think there's any way around it. After a little bit of suffering and seeing how expensive boots are, I think I'm going to try to paint the ones I have. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoshix Posted August 21, 2021 Author Share Posted August 21, 2021 After searching around the internet for a while for something similar for the two buckle, I decided to make them. I'm really happy with how they turned out, only problem is because they are made out of aluminum they are very shiny. There's a product called aluminum black that would nock it down a peg but I think I'm going to try paint first before spending another $20. The buckles aren't glued on yet so I can easily change them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aradun Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 If you're unfamiliar with painting aluminum, do a little research first. Aluminum doesn't always respond well to paint without some initial prep and priming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoshix Posted September 15, 2021 Author Share Posted September 15, 2021 I ended up not painting them and ordering the aluminum black. I sanded them a little bit more after the photo from above so they are a little lighter. I'm going to glue them on today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
