Well I'm glad I helped kantis, no matter how inadvertently...
Didn't Boba's costume entail some type of canvas spat that covered the lace area of the boot? I think mine will be covered by a plate of "armor" as I think my foot armor will be in several plates if I can prod the person to make them for me! And Mando, I'll try and find the url to a guy I get leather from in the spring and fall at a part flea market, part mountain man rendevous. I'll PM it to you, or anyone else once I find it-just let me know if you'd like it. He has about any type of leather you'd want, including many wild species like deer, elk, coyote, and of course traditional leather from cattle etc..I've not looked at his site, but he did have some good "American" leather, although if you can afford it buy leather from Europe. They don't use traditional barb-wire like we do here so there are no scratches and cuts in the leather from the barbs. Thanks for your help guys. Hopefully I'll be able to get better at the whole sewing thing, or find a Star Wars fan who can sew well as a girlfriend like Tack lucked into. I'm just not that darned lucky, so I'll go back to the sewing machine hoping I don't sew me fingers to what project I'm working on... I definitely would like to see more detailed photos, tutorials, or advice on how your kama was created, or how you plan to make yours in the future. I'd like to start work on a piece of black vinyl today and see what I can make out of it. I know I can make a fairly simple one piece model, but I'd like to try the two piece method, maybe a third decorative piece in the center to cover the area where the two pieces come together. Any suggestions on how to mark the line where you want to cut the vinyl? I thought about using my t-square I used for cutting drywall as it's plenty long enough, and just using it as a straight-edge to cut it straight with an exacto knife...Thoughts?
