TLobe00s Progress (getting pic intense) 501st Approved!!!

I figured I'd start posting my WIP page...

Well, because of the economy and everything else, I am trying to keep costs low and what not. I will also be posting pictures as I go.

First the items I have: most of the costlier items were obtained through pawning off of my goods on Fleabay (6800 GT vid. card, Tungsten E2 Palm, etc...) The rest were from giving my wife puppydog eyes and living with the recourse of her giving me heck for having a strange hobby, lol ;)

Flightsuit - RedKap PB coveralls
Gloves - Target ladies accessories section
Vest - pleather from [AK]Edge
Holsters - from [AK]Edge
Ammo Belt - from thundrkiss
Chest Armor - Trashcan Fett!!!
Blasters - Rubies at the moment, but I found a way to make some :)
Knee Armor - PVC pipe (at least trying to do it ;) )

Still need Gauntlets, Helmet, Girth Belt, Boots, and Leg Armor... I was hoping to get the helmet from Rupidupe, but alas Sithchick got it, congrats to her! :) But hey if anyone knows where I can get some of these items that would be most excellent :)

Also, if anyone knows the BEST and EASIEST way to add the short sleeves to the coveralls, I have been pondering how... I have seen some responses elsewhere in the forum, but haven't heard what is the easiest and who has tried what.

If the sleeves are long enough you can just tuck some material in around the arm and stitch around making a cuff. If they aren't long enough you could cut the sleeves off where you have enough material to fold under to make the cuff. Then you cut off the sleeves off another set of coveralls and catch the new sleeve material in the stitches that you do to make the cuff. I hope that all makes sense.

actually, that was what I came up with through my pondering... I thought I could make a hem since the sleeves will be under gauntlets anyways... but having two sleeves looks more authentic.

Thanks for the ideas :)

Got a girth belt on Fleabay... hopefully it is the right size :)

Still need Gauntlets, Helmet (maybe one from Sithchick :) ), Boots, and Leg Armor & Cod

How hard is it to convert Boba Gauntlets to Jango?

Thanks... Yeah I see that he seems to know what he is doing with the Jango gauntlets :) but alas I think he is focusing on leg armor and small westar runs now :(

Is there any others and the cheaper the better of course :)

Thanks for the info though,
Tony

Sithchick said Sarge is going to pass his helmet along to me, yay! I am getting closer...

All that's left:

Leg armor, cod piece, boots, backplate, rocket pack, gauntlets

(below is Sarge's old helmet... it is a Bradley Fett... doesn't look too bad ;) )

How would these work for boots? I thought about filling in the edge on the soles a little with some rubber compound.

Here are some shots with the gear on... granted the girth is too small (I have that hidden in the back ;) ) I also have the girth in the cargo hold for sale.

Tell me what you think and what needs improvement... I know the vest needs taken in a little (it is an XL)

going for 501st approval, and I am sure I will upgrade to get to movie accuracy... as for the rocket pack, I want to find the cheapest possible route to start with, and then move from there.
