Maldorian Guards Jango Progress

Have been given a suggestion from OrtharRrith on my girth belt. That I could sew some thread over the bolo through the leather. Would thought be best to keep the material, thin and dark so it not seen. Perhaps glue also. Thus keeping it strong and rigid.
thksdad is right, glue the strands down to the fuzzy side. Use plenty of glue and it will stiffen as it dries. Also having longer and multiple strands glued down will be a lot more rigid than just a few short test strands. You don't need to use thread if you are using the right glue. I'd recommend using Leather Weld from Tandy Leather. Also, have you seen my girthbelt tutorial?
 
i don't know if it was brought up already, but have you considered getting the rest of the armor equally as shiny as the bucket? it looks to be a lot more reflective than the upper body armor.
 
Cruzer - Thanks for the advice over the girthbelt. Didn't know you making girthbelts again. I placed the glue between the gaps, this strengthened the bolo better together.
I have seen your girth betl tutorial, I printed it at the time. PM sent Cruzer.

RunJEDIrun - Think it the lighting that makes my helmet shinier than the rest the armour. Thanks for putting it out. Didn't notice.
 
Ain't updated this in a long while.

Bobby Fett got my guns and helmet at the moment.

I also doing work on a snowtrooper costume.
 
We gonna see the pics of them boots John?

Jo recommended using Rub & Buff. I used silver paint. It still smudges a bit so gonna use some hair spray some time to help lock it all in.
 
yes phill deffo..i'm gonna start taking some picture of the jango costume as it progresses..just need to find the time to start.....hopefully soon!

Thanks for the input. I will post pics when I got my materials put on my flightsuit to put my armour on. I having a bit of trouble on the boot plate. I done the sides as shown above. But the boot plates seem to move a bit when walking round. Anyone got any advice to attaching boot armour? I put some velcro on at the bottom, but when walking it seems to come off. HELP PLEASE!!
 
Here is a long awaited update. I still got to put my cod piece on. Think I will use snaps for it. I attached my thighs, no problem there.

I done my boot plates, they been attached at the front with heavy duty velcro, make a velcro ripping sound when I bend my legs. Any advice on better fitting?

My shins are secure on my flightsuit, but move about too much when walking round. Any help on how I can keep it secure?


Much appreciated for the input people, please.

Well advise I would say is to put the thigh pieces more spaced out and also check ur boot armor as you have them on the wrong feet or that is how it looks.

Still there can be only one fett and that is boba
