Well The Jawas got done just in time for Halloween! We pressed the time line for sure, the masks were being wired up tonight at 5... I'll get some pics up Monday.
Sorry, I don't check the non-Boba threads often here on TDH.
The robes we used for my daughter's Jawa were made from an Egyptian Cotton Herringbone weave blanket. I bought a white one and dyed it to get it the right color by mixing orange and brown RIT dye.
Chris' Jawa plans are on his sandtrooper page on his website tk409.com.
That diagram is one of Chris Bartlett's designs. I did a variation on that using small orange reflectors and the LEDs drilled through them for my daughter's Jawa costume.
Here are some pics, they are not the best but I really was having issues with the camera.:facepalm
I'll try to get an album together of all the pics and put it in the Halloween thread.

Thanks, I was pretty happy with the blasters all in all. I was short on time to weather them and the robes. So I was doing that on the morning of Halloween.
Yes I used the monks cloth and dyed it brown. Lots and lots of dye to get a deep warm brown. The pattern is of my own design with a bit of wire around the hood edge.

Use monk's cloth. You can get it at JoAnn Fabric for $9.99 per yard. Then get Dark Brown RIT Fabric Dye (also at JoAnn). Definately check out these two sites: The first one for the AMAZING mask tutorial:
For the boots, I got a pair of rubber rain boots from Wal Mart. I wrapped them in duck tape, making sure to wrinkle the tape as I put it on. Then I painted with 3 different shades of brown spray paint, then LIGHTLY went over the boots with black spraypaint. They look awesome! You can also get everything you need for the mask from RadioShack, JoAnn Fabric, and the LEDs for the lights, look on eBay first. If they dont have the Panther Vision ones suggested in the tutorial, check at Lowes. In all, my son's costume is coming out to around $350. Im going to put up a website soon with step by step instructions for everything. I'll post a link on here when its done.
