The weathering process has begun:

I put it all on for the first time tonight and had my daughter snap some shots for me to see what I have left to do on it to get it right. This is what I have noticed so far:

- still need to do some padding/ helmet interior
- my chest plates bunched up a bit on me so I need to move them further out
- I have to cut off the extra nylon strapping from the harness now that I know what I need to use
- my harness straps we're not even in the back so my jet pack was crooked
- knee's could use a little velcro to keep them in place, they slid down a little
- could maybe trim an inch off the back armor, can't tell if it was hitting the girth in back or not

Please let me know if you see anything else- Thanks!

Hey thanks guys! I should have the other issues I listed resolved before the weekend and some new pictures up before I submit it to the 501st & a second costume for the Mercs.
 
you already mentioned most of the critiques I would have thrown out. The only one you didn't say that I would recommend it to move the jet pack higher on the back. Jango's jet packs sit fairly high.

check out this promo pic for how high it sits.

I just heard back from the 501st and I have been approved BH-10077! Thank you everyone for your help and especially the artist who made the parts I purchased.
 
I just ordered another flight suit from Carole (Arkady). I like the reviews I have seen of her work and was really impressed that she doesn't dye her fabrics, but rather goes and selects them based on the screen versions. Equally impressive was her turn-around time and I received some awesome news that it was already completed and shipped yesterday! This means I should have it in time for a big troop coming up this weekend so I should have some updated pics from this event to post next week.

Well, this is making me wonder as I asked LSFU in November and heard, that her turn aorund time was over one year!!!

Anyway. Please post some pics of the suit as soon as you have it.
 
Wow! I got my new flightsuit in the mail today and is it awesome! The fabric is much better quality and seems far more screen accurate IMO.

Here is the swatch from "Dressing a Galaxy" for reference:

Here are my two suits side-by-side for comparison:

Notice the stiching in the arms? Jango had them, now I do too!

Also- look at the pleats in the back:

This makes it far more comfortable. I've been wearing it around my house for over an hour now because I can't believe how great it is. I have to take it off now so I can start sewing the button holes for my leg armor but I should have some great pictures after the event this coming weekend and I will be sure to come back here and post them. Carole- YOU ROCK and have earned all my Flight Suit business moving forward!

Thanks for posting your progress with your Jango project, it's helpful and a pleasure to read. I'm running a number of parts and about 6 months behind you with mine, lol. I also have MOW ROTJ gauntlets I'll be converting, so those pics and points are particularly helpful, as are snap/armor attachments. On the gauntlets, did you strengthen the inside any (add fiberglass/etc)?

Thanks again,
- Tom
