The Scheding Jango

you can buff it right after you put it on, I never waited. Primer, will depend on if your doing any sanding prior to R&B. The smoother you get it the shinier your final product will be.
 
OK, I got everything except for the knees, and painting the black strips on the helmet, but that's fine. Just need to put the t-visor in and away I go. I'll have pictures up later tonight.

One thing I did that was a mistake was hot gluing the chest, stomach and shoulders to the vest/ Used velcro everywhere else at least. The gauntlets are good enough, but I'll finish them before this friday (minus the gaunt missle). We're having a after halloween harvest party. Gonna watch "5,000 Fingers of Docter T." by Dr. Seuss. Fun classic.
 
Great job sofar Toragh, sewing is very nice. Wish I could do that! As for the strips on the helmet you might wanna use some auto motive pin striping. It would be alot easier than to paint 'em on.
 
They're coming. No took pics, and by the end of the I was tired and took it off. It also started falling apart :cry The cold weather up here didn't help with the hot glue gun. Again, big mistake. Also, I lived up to my family's name as the "Last-Minute Schedins" :lol: Ah well, next time it'll be better.


Pics coming soon!

Ok, the semi finished '07 Scheding Jango. Knees aren't made, and the gauntlets are almost finished. The stomach and chest pieces REALY need to be resized. and I forgot to put a belt on the pants under the self made girth belt. As you can see, it's kinda slipping down. :lol: I also didn't cut the boba cod enough, but I'll fix that. Oh, and the hot glue has been replaced with velcro. :D

The girth belt (pics later) was made with a brown vynil backing, and 5mm cotton cording from Joaan Fabrics, the stuff used in curtons I think. 20 strands, used tacky glue (great stuff) and brown spray paint. My mom made this one, she did a great job. Including the glue and paint, it only cost $30-35. Not exactly screen accurate, but it does a great job and looked authentic from a distance.

The holsters are from Bleahh, and I'm using a pair of Rubies. These holsters are fantastic!

The helmet is a rubies, with the $10 standard eBay visor, and repaint. The helmet and armor (trashcan/Bradleyfett) have r-n-b, but I think I need to work on it some more. But it looks weathered upclose. There's also some fingerprints on the helmet which I'm pissed off about, but I can deal.

Sweet Pea, the min-pin we rescued, is in a gold Star Trek command shirt in the corner.

I'm actually 5'8", but the falling pants makes me look taller.:lol:

And then Buttercup (after The Princess Bride) the min-pin/chihuahua mix in science blue (star trek).

If any one's interested in the patterns I used for the suit and vest, I'll put them up later. It all comes in one packet from Simplicity I think.
