Does any one out there know how to get a hold of Lynn Stevens aka Witchking? I sold my Nazgul costume to a couple years ago excluding the sword/scabbard and was trying to reach, but seems that Witchking member has been removed. Thanks.

That is an amazing Fett. Great photos. Bravo!

Christi - It's sort of a maybe. I haven't had any serious offers and i was on the fence anyway, so I may just hang onto it a while longer. I don't think you ever saw the short video a made with my son the mini-Nazgul. Below is the link for your enjoyment. https://vimeo.com/52694759

And now that I recently completed the leg and foot armor (Greaves and sabatons), I am seliing in the Cargo Hold. Time for a change after being a Nazgul for 2 years.

Rob, Sorry I am just now getting back to you. Life has been "transitional." My move to Peru was ended suddenly in the middle of transition. Now I am in Denver, but all my stuff is in storage in Oregon until we close on a house in June. If you can wait until early July, i can send pictures. I...

Well the costume is still incomplete, the armory has gone radio silence, and my company is moving me to Peru for a couple of years. Eventually this will get finished, but who knows when. Yesterday was foggy, so I snapped some photos in the field beside our house yesterday. A couple of joggers...

Super cool thread....here's mine

Well, Halloween has come and gone and I didn't quite make it. The shin and foot armor is still remaining, but I got enough of the costume together to terrify the neighborhood kids. I felt a little bad for the ones that cried (but only a little). Here's few pictures from the office.

Almost enough to make me want a small dog.

I still have some fit up to perform and leg and shin armor are lagging behind, but a friend snapped this picture of me this weekend for a test run. I made a 5" empty space head extension frame, so I am 6' 8" in this picture. I'll try to get some bter pictures out there this weekend, once I've...

I think I recall Christi (crazy4boabfett) saying she used about 52 yards of fabric. It's heavy, real heavy. She is an amazing seamstress / costumer. After experiencing the quality of the Fett flight suit, I wouldn't have used anyone else for this project. Also, I have been working on a...

And we have gauntlets. The still need a little rust effect and need to be attached to the gloves, but we're starting to make progress. I tell you that this picture doesn't do them justice. The is HEAVY gauge steel and was heated and hammered out on an anvil. The rivets are old school blacksmith...

Okay - so now I am a little stressed. Still no armor. Robes are in transit after Christi took on the "fine" alterations. I did, however, finish weathering the stainless steel sword and scabbard this weekend. How do you like the blood soaked effect at the scabbard bottom. Hopefully I will have...

Here is a picture of me in crazy4bobafett's creation (robes). Once the the belt and scabbard arrive (thursday), the costume should take on a leaner look as it will tighten the inner robes around the waist. It may be a few inches too long, but that is easily corrected and MUCH better to be too...

Scabbard is done! I will probably do some more "fine" weathering to tone down a few of the effects from the maker, but a pretty decent job I think.
