Recently I got some studio photos of me in my costume from a good friend. All in all I am really excited about finishing my costume. Now I just have to battle the desire to upgrade since I am low on funds...
At the bottom you can see some info on how I packed my costume.
I am currently packing my entire costume into one 50 gallon container that Stanley makes. It has grey wheels and I found it at Home Depot. This container is a BEAST and is quite heavy when loaded up.
The bottom layer contains my jet pack on the left and on the right, pulled forward, is the styrofoam box my helmet shipped in (which is invaluable since I racked my head for some time trying to figure out how to protect this BEAUTIFUL helmet). Sandwiching the helmet in place are all my soft parts. On top of the helmet is a cut to fit paper type box. It holds my knee armor, gauntlets, shin tools and headset. To the left of the box is my ammo belt. The shoes are sandwiching in the jet pack and the vest goes on top of that. I wrap the vest up with the jumpsuit to help protect it from getting scratched. The backplate goes on top and then I stuff my rifle in front as seen. Cover everything with a sheet of foam and I am ready to go!
Thanks to everyone on the forums who has helped! A big thanks to Wizardofflight, Ruffkin Toys, TK409 (and his family) and Gonzo Fett!
