I though I should start a WIP thread. I bought a "finished" costume by forcebewithya some time ago. It was a great price but needs some upgrades before I'd be completely happy with it.
When I got it in the mail sent from overseas several parts, mostly the jetpack had broke and needed fixing. New shoes had to be bought and I got some MOW now as the included ones are far too big for me. I also modified the helmet to take a more accurate aluminum RF stalk instead of the resin one included with the bobamaker helmet. The braids have already been replaced with real horse hair.
I'm building this for 501st approval, but that's further down the road. First I'm going for halloween.
Here's what it looks like today
My roadmap is something like this:
Way down the road I imagine replacing pretty much everything that have not already been replaced, as I'm not really a "good enough" kind of person. Although chasing down the found parts is honorable I might stop shy of that.
Cheers!
