Please dont delete this thread I havent abandoned but Im in a bit of a financial stretch a the moment. Progress has been slowed to what I have now and what I can get from the local Poundsaver. Although I stopped into a Games Workshop the other day and a clerk was telling me of a neat...

Ok, Im chiming in My opinion is....Who cares? So what if your costume is canon or non-canon. Boba, Jango or whoever...it doesnt matter. The important thing to remember about costuming is this...its a hobby. We are all here bc we like to design and make our own costumes. It doesnt...

Very clever work with the gauntlets. (Sorry, I just saw it!!)

Actually, its not. Thats the name of the store. They have a shop here in Glasgow and sell all kinds of stuff. Though I do appreciate the irony.

The armor, when spaced, covers about the area of the normal Boba or Jango armor. Its about 2-3 mm thick, but its very flexible. I tried bending it with a hairdryer, but no use. The guns were a lucky find, actually. I was looking all around town and popped into a shop and heard this voice...

Okie dokie...update time Well, not much to report just now. Ive decided to have three principle weapons; twin pistols and a rifle. I found something I think would make for good sidearms. Im not sure what they are, but they werent expensive and they have a Star War-sy look. Heres a...

BTW, if anyone out there is wanting to dump a half-decent helmet for a good price, Im in the market. Customized, paint, style etc is no big issue.

Its my own design. Not much to look at but Im still in the design phase Yeah, I tried flattening it with a hair dryer but i dont have much room to work on it. Might invest in a heat gun later when I have a more stable job, but I have enough to do to keep me busy. Im only working on this as...

Ok, Ive been planning and putting off and planning and putting off.....No its go-time Im currently in the design/pre-pre production stages of a custom mandalorian costume. Heres a picture of chest/ab armor I made using the trash can technique. Any and all comments and suggestions are...

Great costume...I wish my custom would look half as good as yours Ableit insane jealousy.... :cheers :lol:

Ok, Im convinced...TK409 is the way to go Although Im doing a Custom and not too worried about the accuracy, I think just the good report and apparent savings with a tk409 seal is enough to go with Chris. Mike, for the pics...:cheers And for everyone else who bothered to give their two...

Has anyone here owned a flak vest from Star Fortress? If so, was it: Worth the money? Does it have a neck seal attached? Is it a good quality vest? Im trying to decide whether to order a vest from SF or tk409. It appears the SF vest would be cheaper since the pic shows a neckseal...

$75 for a 97 DP he calls "new"? Who in the crap would be that dumb? The DP i use with my costume cost me $35 on ebay two years ago.

Hey everybody My name is Michael Eubank. Im 20 yrs old from Darlington, SC. I have been doing costume work since I was a senior in high school and a Star Wars fan since...ever. I first got into costuming while surfing the net one day and stumbled across Mark Bradleys, Build Your Own Boba...
