Rox's WIP

[Rox]

Ordered a kit from Walt's and while I wait I started on the soft parts. Got my boots, belt, gloves and pants. Still looking for someone to make me the jacket. But I feel like I got a lot of time. Last time I checked in with Walt he had a lot of other costumes he was pulling plastic for before he got to the Patrol Troopers. 

Got my gloves from Endor Finders as it's been suggested here. Got a question though. They have some red tint to them. Is that normal?

Next up was starting on my belt boxes. I started out by printing my belt boxes in PETG. Figured that would hold their shape really nice and if I ever wanted to put something in them I could. I got the pattern from the forums here. Transferred it to my leather and wrapped the 3D printed boxes and glued everythign in place. The snaps are functional. I haven't attached anything to the belt yet. I want to get my armor first and have that fitted.

I have a ton of extra leather left over. Not sure what I'll do with it.

Hello No ,it's not normal for them to have any kind of coloured tinge to the gloves,I'd contact endor finders,if it was me.

The jacket is the thing that causes the most problems,if I were you, I'd start making plans on who will be making it as a lot of people have found it hard to find a seamstress to make one,either way it will take some time to source the correct materials and get everything organised.

Everyone on here will help as much as they can , they are a good bunch

Got my pants from Uniform Warehouse and my boots from Amazon. I have to get the pants tailored. The are pillowing more than I would like. Just got my boots today, didn't want to get the pants tailored until I had my boots to properly do the length and stirrup at the bottom. Are the boots OK? These were the best option I could find. They fit pretty well, I just need to work them in.

I reached out to them, see what they will have to say. It's kind of a bummer considering how much they cost. 

As for the jacket, I may just end up giving it a go myself with the help of my wife. I was thinking I might just buy a pull over that fits really nice on me and take it apart and use that as a pattern. While the arms look the most daunting I think we can handle it if we find the right materials and take our time. I've already gotten some good help in the soft parts forum for it.

Agreed it's not normal for them to have that tint. Hopefully they will sort it.

Hi! I have the same problem with Endor's Finders gloves. I can't remember if I ask them or someone else and the reply was that is was normal for the black thread to "bleed" and get those stains...please post what they reply back this time.

In relation with the jacket, I remember @wensparrow88 managed to made it herself, but not sure if she takes commisions but may be of help: See the thread here:
