In what order list...

Well here my order
1 headset mic/ neck seal/Jumpsuit
2 knees
3 boots
4 shin tools and spats if you have em
5 cod and kidney armor
6 Girth belt
7 my dummy belt for side pouches
8 ammo belt
9 jet pack harness
10 vest with armor and braids attached
11 back plate
12 jet pack ( the only part I need help with)
13 gloves
14 gauntlets and hoses
15 helmet and gun

Its always better if you can put all you gear on a table so you don't have to bend over to get it.

thx... thats what I'm talking about, nothing beats experience.

Um anyone?

I used a set of US army A.L.I.C.E backpack shoulder straps for my harness. There cheap and when you were a heavy pack like an MLC like I own it starts to do a job on your back and shoulders. These things are padded and the troops use em to hall like 70 lbs on crazy marches and such. I bought a medium back pack on ebay for like 25 bucks but you can buy the straps separate.

Here is the order I put the costume on. I pretty much work from the bottom up when putting a costume on:
1) Under armor and back brace (optional.)
2) Jumpsuit
3) Boots
4) Spats
5) Knee armor and shin tools
6) Cod and kidney armor ... connected by the dreaded Fett G-string.:o
7) Wire up voice modulator (optional) ... anyone who has seen me armor up as knows it takes me about 45 minutes to get the costume on. This step takes over 1/3 of that time.
8.) Girth belt
9) Ammo belt with ammo pouches already attached
10) Balaclava (optional) and neck seal
11) Jet Pack harness and US Diver's belt buckle (if 2 separate pieces.)
12) Vest with chest armor, collar armor, shoulder armor, and Wookiee braids attached
13) Back armor (requires assistance)
14) Jet Pack (requires assistance)
15) Gloves
16) Gauntlets (attaching the hoses on mine requires assistance)
17) Helmet
18.) Blaster

Hope I didn't forget anything. One thing I've learned is the more electronics and lights on the costume, the longer it takes to suit up.

thank you!!

Here's my suit up...

1. Flightsuit
2. Knee Armor
3. Boots
4. Cod and Kidney Armor with G and Studs.
5. Jet Pack Harness
6. Throat Mike and Neckseal
7. Vest and Chest Armor
8. Girth Belt
9. Ammo Belt
10. Backplate and Studs
11. Jet Pack
12. Cape
13. Wookie Braids
14. Shoulder Bells
15. Gloves
16. Gauntlets and Hoses
17. Balacalva [Optional]
18. Shin Tools and Spats
19. Helmet
20. Blaster

As with most Hunters, I have help with my Backplate, Studs and Jet Pack.

Hope this helps...

Stay safe,

Tim.

Hi Bro,

After checking the bible, I'm pretty sure it was on both the ESB and ROTJ. The pre pro had it... 8)
