Bo Katan yet another Bo Katan! This time it's an AUSSIE!

Looking great :), good work! I am also making a bo Katan costume and also bought my armor from KWdesigns, but its my first time costructing an armor so i am Little uncertain with the gauntlets also, aprilstorm how much do you take for your ABS hinges or does velcro tape work well also? I dont want to break the plastics. Ashbash what is the name of the magnets you are using to your suit?
 
Hi Ash, I trimmed the bottom of each one a bit and then we stuffed a padded bra. The reason we stuffed was to get the undershirt to rise up to the inside of the top of each cup so that the diamond piece floats at the same level as the cups. This worked out great. Otherwise, the diamond will be down lower in between the cups. Hope this helps.
 
Ok all I have one question and I hope some one can help us PLEASE. Can anyone tell me is it a silver or gray for Bo's armor. I am almost ready to paint but can't figure this last puzzle out to this armor. Thanks in advance for the help.
 
Definitely grey... BUT I put a slight coat (and I mean hold the can very far away) with silver and it gives it a really nice sheen :)
 
I don't know the make or brand/model of the airbrush as I used a friends airbrush but as long as you use one that's meant for fabric paints you should be fine. If you can't get fabric paint, use an acrylic paint mixed with a textile medium which helps set the paint into the fabric

Still got to weather it but started this :)
 
Beautiful bucket!! As I wait for mine to arrive, I have been killing time by reading all of your posts and learning quite a bit.... thank you for the wealth of info and pics to help me with my build.
 
ok thanks :) dont Think i can find it in Sweden but i try to look for something similar, thanks again and good luck with your build :D
 
thank you! my first troop is tomorrow! as well as a film festival parade on sunday. we're doing a 2km parade and David Hasselhoff is leading it :/ i'll try and get a pic for you all
 
Nice work there:)...how did you attach the thigh holsters to the suit ?... are they just on velcro or do you fit a strap round your leg inside the flightsuit?...Im thinking due to the weight / presence of a gun .
 
I'll get a pic of it later but I essentially added 2 strips to the inside V area of the thigh armour. This is enough to hold it in place without the strapping but the strapping is in all reference pics so I put it there as well.
