Don't you think her thigh pieces might be a bit small? I mean it has to be able to fit guns in the holsters.

BTW: Cruzer, are you making the guns also? Or are you using a set of guys to size the holsters/thighs? I just don't want to get a set of guns and have them not fit, lol.

I was thinking if you went bigger then than that, it would start looking like leg armor. Very sloppy looking. I will let Cruzer decide.

Have you checked out the DOD templates for thigh and holsters? As far as the guns, I think the Death Watch toy blasters are a decent size.

The Deathwatch toy blasters are tiny. The grip is about as long as the first 3 fingers on my hand. Woodchuck makes a nice pistol, I've made some, and Eternal Armory over on the BHG board does 'em too. I don't know that we've ever all compared sizes, but from eyeballing it they look generally the same size.

Also: This thread is awesome. I love how much attention Bo and the Owls are getting!!

I've got a shorty DC-15 from wood chuck and it is a thing of beauty. It does have heft too. I think the toy ones are the right scale for my soon to be 11 year old, they are light too. How heavy are your Deathwatch blasters? Depending on how folks set up their holsters for Bo, it will be interesting to see how it works with the tights/spandex. Got any pics of your pistols? What coloring do you recommend?

I had made a Deathwatch blaster back when they first appeared. However, I realized I had missed the taper of the gun's body after more ref pics were released. So I plan to go back and rework my blaster to be more accurate. Right now a Feather Lite cast weighs 9.7oz, so I'm hoping it will be between 7-8oz after the gun is slimmed down. I'd be more than happy to purchase a toy blaster to do a size/weight comparison with my blaster. :)

Looks great! My BF's Viszla has Woodchuck's pistols and they are a bit too heavy. His thigh pieces had to be adjusted when he put the guns in the holsters. I'm happy to know that you will be making/selling pistols too. I'm gonna be so broke...

I was able to get a little progress done on the Bo-Katan jetpack while waiting for my silicone to arrive. The jetpack is approximately 13.5" wide. (y)

Thanks bud. (y)
Started gluing everything down in the center and giving it some shape. I'm not happy with how the bottom of the center area turned out, but I'm not sure what to do with it without better ref pics. :( I'm open to any suggestions.

Yea, I've seen that pic, Thanks. The bottom of that jet pack seems to be designed slightly differently than Bo's that is partially seen in the screen captures. :/

I found two sequences where the jetpack bottom is visible (more or less):

But I guess you already got these screen caps.

That second pic is at a much better angle than the one I have. That will help immensely. Thank you much! :)
