So it begins....

Thanks everyone!

The Fett is Jackson....gbeef on these boards. His gear is totally SICK! I'm just hoping that my Boba turns out looking as great. Now that I'm almost done Zam I can get to work on both Fetts.
 
Looks absolutely awesome!! I bet it was great to be able to finally wear the suit!! :D

Do you have the skirt attached the cummerbund? Why not to an underbelt? I think I have just about everything attached to the underbelt that I can... The vest looks good to me... were there problems with the back not fitting close enough? Still ... your costume looks great, and I'm looking forward to more pictures as well as seeing it when you get everything done on it!

Those of you that have MonCal's shins know how soft they are. I was a little worried and mystified but then realized.....they harden when they get cold.

Well... that is certainly something I will NEVER have to worry about! :lol:lol:
 
Nope....it's in the arm hole area because of ummmm....ummm....stuff. I'm just going to put princess seams in the front instead of just the regular darts and it'll solve the issue. It's not so obvious in that picture but it's really obvious in person.

The skirt is on it's own belt and it worked amazingly well. Wouldn't change a thing about that at all. I can do it up nice and tight and then the cumberbund over top just makes it all that much better.
 
Ahh... got it... :) You can probably place the seams so that the armor covers it... just continue up the dart that is already there? Or make a new dart/seam closer to the zipper?

I misunderstood you on the cummerbund and the belt... sorry. Yep, the underbelt works best - I just need to find a better one to use.
 
Here's a better picture to show you what I mean. I've just got too much....girlie parts....to have a vest that doesn't have princess seams.

And here's a picture of the skirt on the belt. I just fed a 1 1/2 inch leather belt through the lacing and then added grommets so it could be adjusted to whatever size I needed.

How about adding some padding? (Don't laugh! :lol: ) Between the shoulder seam and the bustline... Zam had some padding which made the vest flatten out and in more of a "V" shape than a regular fitted vest. Look at the Dressing a Galaxy book... you can see what I mean, much better than I can explain it.
 
Yeah...I know what you mean. I'm thinking that I'd have to add a whackload of padding and I'm not sure that making myself look that much bigger is really a look I'm going for.....hahaha. Definitely the padding in my shoulder itself ended up flattening out waaaay too much and that needs to be fixed. This is a "fix" I have to do on pretty much anything I make so it's not at all a surprise. And frankly....I'm really not worried about it. 99% of people don't know that how I have it now isn't finished. They certainly aren't going to know if I have to put in a seam or an extra bust dart that doesn't belong. But it certainly is noticiable to lots of people if it's ill fitting and more importantly.....it bugs the heck outta me.
 
Yep... it's most important that it fit you and that you're comfortable wearing it. If it's bugging you, you're not gonna be comfortable! :)
 
I'll just keep playing around and see what I can come up with to make whatever I have to do the least noticable. At least it IS fixable which is always a good thing. And not so bad if that's the most major thing to fix (not counting the stuff that just isn't done yet). Dang...I KNOW this is gonna be another one of those never ending upgrade/fix kind of costumes!
