Hi Shade!

Welcome to TDH! Let me first say this: You're making this costume for yourself, right? Then don't worry what ANYONE else thinks! If you get enjoyment from making your suit, then you have accomplished you goal. Do NOT let anyone's opinion or example hinder your achievement. It's great to get feedback from others, especially positive. Your costume needs only to measure up to your standards. There are some folks who build suits out of cardboard and paper! And that's perfectly fine, becuase that was what they wanted to do. Please use all the resources here to get whatever supplies, materials or levels of detail that you need. That is why we are all here. Never, but NEVER get discouraged by someone else's work. There is some terific work posted here, and lots of people (myself included) who will help you in what ways we can! So have at it, and post pics of your progress so you can SHOW OFF your work!

we all got our own tweaks to the suit and thingies we are not happy with.
one is not here to JUDGE anyones costume!

only to aplaud to the creativity used and looking at it as an individual piece of art!

you can ask for tips and constructive critisisme, but all you recive without asking are compliments and nice words from us here at TDH!! :cheers

Green or Black?

 

[shade 99]

it doesnt matter. wht ever one is easyer to find

 

[Shinobi Fett]

Aha! I can help already! I'm going with the ESB style, so I went with a dark green welder's faceshield from RJSafety.com, I believe the model is 4118DRK Dark green. At 3.65 you can't go wrong! You can double check TK409.com on the part number. Another good source for dark blaack, if yo're going the ROTJ route is bobamaker.co.uk. He has great faceshields custom made to fit most every helnet, and he is highly reputable.

Happy hunting!

i was wondering how u guys cut your face shields to make the visor?

 

[psberetta]

I used a dremel to cut mine, its a shade 5 so scissors would not cut it. If you go with a shade 4, scissors will work.
Just my two cents.........

Welcome aboard Shade.

I also recomend a Dremel. 1001 uses just like duct tape.

Cut out my first visor the hard way and the second with a dremel. Lot easier and faster.

piece of plexi glas, saw it in the right form, then bend it in the right form and black spray some tamiya black from a distance, will work like sunglasses

 

[AFettFullofDollars]

I used a pair of tin snips. The ease of using a pair of scissors only with alot more strength.

 

[shade 99]

thanks alot guys your being a big help

 

[shade 99]

i know i said this already but no matter wht i do to try and make it as accrate as possiable and for it to look great nothing works. i dont think im ever going to be as good as u guys i suck my costume looks like crap. it dosent ever look the same as in the photos or ever as good as yours.

 

[Master Jedi Allma]

Its yours and thats all that matters!
Pratice makes perfect....
Even Seeker who has a Jango suit that looks like it came off the set of ATOC's, isn't always satisfied with his gear and is continually upgrading parts to his satisfaction.
Its the original SW passion for Fett and determination/patience thats gets there in the end...

Chin up and keep on keeping on...
