Thanks guys, I'm glad you like it.
What SEEKER is hinting at is that he and I have already begun collaborating on bringing you guys all of the parts necessary to make Bo-Katan's entire suit. He is diligently beginning work on all of the leather items and soft parts. Likewise, I have already begun construction of the body armor, which I hope to have the majority of the upper body armor completed and ready to show off after this weekend!

I'm gonna be so broke! I already lightened my hair so that when I have it for CVI, I can take off my helmet and have the red hair like hers. 
You guys are awesome!! I can't wait!!

So thats who you are here
Yep! This is my old screen name. I didn't know who you were on here either until I found this thread. I think Rob bought a helmet from Cruzer, so I just looked up his profile. (stalker....) I can't wait!

Small update...
Well the silicone didn't arrive before the weekend to begin the mold. This turned out to be a good thing because I'm using this time to reshape the dome to be more accurate after studying ref pics more.
As for the rest of the armor, I have the basic shapes made for the upper body pieces and will post pics once they're a little more dialed in.
Thanks for the interest

Hey, so I'm just curious... About what size person would fit this armor the best? I mean, I don't want huge or tiny chest armor... Her armor is perfectly fitted to her body. I'm just worried it won't look right...

I'm making the armor to fit a female that is approximately 5'6". Unfortunately I do not have a real female body to test fit all of the pieces to, so I just bought a female mannequin upper torso body off ebay that I'll use. The dimensions of the mannequin are 35" bust, 24" waist, 34" hips, and 18" shoulder width. I've also obtained some basic measurements from two fellow female costumers that are both 5'6" to help me in the construction. So I'm making this armor hoping it can be used by most people between 5'2"-5'10, and can be trimmed slightly if needed. Hope that helps.

That's my measurements once I loose 10lbs! (Except the bust...
) Woot Woot!! What will the armor be made out of?
Are you making the gauntlets and the jetpack?

I'll be padding the waist of the mannequin to make it a more realistic 29"-30". Initially I had no desire in making the jet pack. However, my sister has since decided to make the costume. So I've already begun construction on a Bo jet pack that will measure approximately 13.5" wide when scaled to my helmet. Everything I make will have to be made of fiberglass, unless I can get my hands on a vacform machine. Hope that helps.

Thank you!! I really wanted to be one of the first 501st accepted Bo-Katans, but it looks like we might have a group of aspiring Death Watch Owls.
Which is good because that means people are making the costume for me to buy because I can't make anything... 
I really hope you get the vacform machine because that jetpack will be very heavy otherwise.
