Thanks for the heads up . I'll check to see if they have them at Wall Mart here . Sometimes the Wall Marts in Canada dont always carry all the same stuff . Cheers Mike

Hey Ninja .... where did you get those grommets ? My belt is done except for the grommets . I can find bigger ones & smaller ones but nothing in between .Those look spot on . Mike

O K I have made/painted a few things ( shoulder & knee armor ) , toe spikes and an ammo belt , but I have no expirience in this area . A few months ago I purchased a Ruffkin gauntlet kit ( see pics ) and have made/ purchased some accesseries for them . I have a couple of gauntlet sets ( Ebay)...

Well I've been lazy most of the summer and I guess it's time to get back at it . Here are some pics of my suit so far ( 1st try ) . I know it's not dead on screen accurate .Things I know about .... mixing ESB cape with ROTJ theme . I think the helmet is in the ESB as well . I have a raw MARROW...

Just on that note it took over 6 months for me to get gauntlets I won on ebay from this Frank and Son @#*+!!! :angry And I had to email and harass evey week to get them .Stay clear . Mike

Hey Marrow .... dont forget me :thumbsup: !!! Mike

Well I think that's it :cheers .... now I just need to beat the boots up a bit get em all dirty maybe fray a few edges . Have I left anything out ? I might try to fill in those wee gaps between the bracket and the boot . Mike

Welcome aboard brother .. form north of the boarder ! Mike

Well I just finished ..... well almost finished my ammo belt , but something is missing :confused ..... oh ya those grommets !!! Chuck maybe you could tell me where i can get those 6 small grommets ;) . I have found bigger ones in 1/4" & 3/8" but nothing the same size as yours .Cheers Mike

You know I thought about running some warm water over it , but i thought it might affect the paint .Oh well . maybe I'll try again on the collar armor .Thanks Mike

Well I used Para liquid mask for step 1 on my shoulder & knee armor.Then I tried the mustard for the second stage and now I,m going to switch back . I liked how the mustard went ont . Easy to use , easy to see and fun to eat , however ..... I found it very difficult to remove . I scraped ... and...
