I made my own flightsuit, I made a tutorial for doing the sleeves: Flightsuit Sleeve Tutorial The suit was pretty difficult, I highly recommend getting some experience with a machine if you haven't used one before. I used the vest pattern for the top, and a pants pattern I bought for the...

A Tale of Two Helmets Been a while since I've been on here, I have been working on something when I have the time which has been rare lately, lots of stuff going on right now for me. Anyway, I have gotten to a point where I would like to replace my bucket, my toy one has been great and working...

Ultimately it depends on your method of dyeing on how much dye you will need, but a lot of us use a mixture of Rit Evening Blue and Pearl Grey. I highly recommend testing on spare fabric and coming up with a mixture you like best, as well as going in increments on your actual suit, you can...

I have been washing it between sessions, my whole idea was much like how a rag is stained from repeated use and washing. I also want to be able to wash it so it makes sense to me to do it to see if the color is staying in. Trust me, you'll want to wash it.

I personally have been literally throwing dirt on my suit, it's been getting progressively dirtier and dirtier. I also have given it some baths of a tea and coffee mix which is working pretty good. Need to do it more in fact, especially the legs, they are absolutely filthy!

Hey guys! Been a while since I posted, I've been gearing up for Comic Con Revolution! We went yesterday and had a blast, even the kids! There were a lot of people that wanted pictures with me and I got some good compliments which makes me feel pretty proud of the work I've done. My wife did get...

Very nice build, good job!

Hey all! Hope everyone had a good Easter, my family took a trip for the weekend and I had finished my repaint right before so I still have everything put away, but I am pretty happy with how it all came out. With that done, I decided to focus on my black braid which I didn't have put together...

Yeah! I always get excited when we get another ROTJ! Welcome to the Hunt! I will second on the list they have at bobafettbuilders, it's pretty exhaustive.

I've been working on getting the chest armor all done, I've had to make a few adjustments to the connections for the vest, the extra thickness made them fit me just slightly differently. I've also repainted them (except the diamond, I forgot to grab it when I painted), trying to lighten...

That's looking really good! My research on the thickness of the armor led me to it being somewhere around 1/4" or 6mm, but now I'm wondering if that is actually too thick :unsure: (I know that 3mm of the 3-4 the 501st states looks too thin.)

I took the electronics from my toy EE-3 to mount in the blaster I scratch built. Sidewinder also offers electronics for his kits.

Here's the progress on the shoulders, I still want to add some of the scratch marks but other than that and a clear coat, I think they are pretty much done. I wish I had taken a "before" picture, because I think they look a lot better. I also have the chest armor pieces going, but I'll take...

I've been thinking my armor looks thin, so I did some digging around an here and it looks like 1/4" or 6 mm is a more appropriate thickness. I've started on the shoulders, adding a layer of sintra to the edges. Still have a little fill and sand before I start repainting, my hope is to be able to...

Welcome to the hunt!
