Our Royal Guard Costumes are complete!

I love these costumes, they are gorgeous.

Without further ado; our complete Royal Guards.

Enjoy!
Okay starting with me.





Bucket angles





Special shots Burge requested I take.
I do have hands!

I am not barefoot!

And with my under robe exposed I am Bat Guard!





Now on to my beautiful spouse





Her bucket





She too has hands!!!

And she does not like to walk around shoeless either!!

But alas her wingspread is not as impressive as mine!



Proof that we are two crazy chicks with costumes and are not ghetto sharing a single costume!

And our buckets off pic courtesy of random passerby #1

now that is alot of pics!! and I love them all!!! very nice! Have you ever listened to the audio drama "Crimson Empire" it is a very good listen.

Great costume's! I didnt see the don post stamp on the back of the buckets are they DP?

No they are not Don Post, they are the SA helmet from Tongodix. Eventually we plan to upgrade to MLCs.

Very cool! Yea those MLC's are pretty nice. Im on the hunt for an altmans just for the collection.

And the hair even matches!!!! :thumbup Those are some awsome costumes, it makes me wish I had one now!

Thanks guys, they feel really nice on as well, not too hot, beautiful movement when walking. Honestly perfect. I could not be happier with the way they turned out. Even the spot where we had to add a button for the head holes came out nice and perfect.


Next on our list of Emp guards, Shadow Guards using Gypsyboy buckets. I just really want a SaberPike.....lol. I am half tempted though to grab our MLCs and use our SA buckets for Shadow Guards, GB's bucket may be gorgeous but from what I have seen resin Rg lids weigh a ton.

very nice I am so envious! glad your in the same garrison though

These will look boss walking around with Mark. We went walkabout today, but we really really needed a Vader or Emperor.

Yes, yes, very nice.

Don't forget, I'm getting closer to casting my IGV2, if you still are interested.

Great pics! Those outfits look awesome. Just wanted to interject that the resin I use is relatively light (but strong). To give you some idea - I am told that my resin Vader helmet is very noticeably and refreshingly lighter than a f'glass one. Because of the size of these lids they won't be light as a feather, but they won't be near as bad as if they were f'glass. As for strength - I've mentioned this before in other posts on various boards but it is really a good example - I had a resin Vader face get blown off my back porch, and it landed on top of a large rock. I jumped down, expecting to have to pick it up in pieces, only to find it was undamaged. If it had been f'glass I would have been bringing it back in a pile of shattered shards. I know this to be true because I've had that happen.

Very well done! 1 down...5 more to go right? =D

double post...blah.

they look great! Awesome work!

Upgrades I plan to/want to do to these.

Backpack blower fan set up, harness with two blower fans that run hoses up the back of the helmet as someone else in Titan has done.
Voice, just because we do not hear them speak does not mean they would not need systems of voice and hearing in their helmets.
Burgundy Suede Boots from Caboots
Burgundy Gloves, same color as boots, will be matching the Caboots swatch when I do a glove search or craft
Red/Burgundy Leather Holster for my blaster (Tandy has a good leather for this)
Red/Burgundy neckseal (have the cloth)
Finish my DH-17, eventually upgrade to MR DH-17s


But for now it is acceptable and that is a good list of to dos. All in all I am very pleased with them at the moment. Might consider a black visor as the red you can either see through up close, or if I add tint, you can't see out of.

Very impresssed! Like the way they turned out, makes me kind of want to do a royal guard....possible future ideas. Great job again. Cheers!
