Well, do you have a costume?

nope, in progress, im not knocking your costume, Im just saying the shoes dont look very protective, I my self have South West steel toe steel shank boots with a zipperfront which are already weathered (which i know nothing about). I'm building my costume around the idea of "what would I want if I was a bounty hunter" I would want heavy leather boots which would stop an ankle from turning. but to each his own. I meant no insult to your abilities

Yeah, because everyone knows that people will lift up my jumpsuit and tell me that doesnt protect my ankle.

forgive me , if you want the shoes use them , i was just saying that they dont look like combat stuff, i didnt want to get in an argument,I personally really admire your work, specially the helm, jus my personal opinion

I should have this done by SDCC.
The gauntlets still need work, I would really like to do Piano Hinges and velcro, but I am not sure if I will be able to.

I know before SDCC 08' I will have MOW's.

I bought some piano hinges today for my gauntlets, and some more paint.

I am going to work on my mando a lot (since tomorow is my last day of school, hehe)

Can't wait to see it at CC Clay.

Time progresses.


Anywho, I didn't reach my deadline of Comic-Con 2007, oh well...there is always next year.

Anyways, I did a big test fit of everything yesterday (besides the bucket) and I still need to paint some leg armor, take in the vest on the sides, and do some gauntlet work.

The helmet still needs to be put together completely, I got my T-visor sometime before Comic-Con.

Anywho, to do list:
Gauntlet work
Vest work
Helmet work
Backplate work
Cod piece work (attaching it to belt)

I am now taking my time, as I won't really be able to wear this to any events besides Con's and whatnot, so expect progress over the next couple months.

Very clever work with the gauntlets. (Sorry, I just saw it!!)

Which ones?

I only have pics of my painted V.1 gauntlets.
