Recent additions/improvements:
- Painted up the cod piece and kidney armor from Viva Fett. I used some spare keyboard key caps to make the studs. They're a little too tall, but I'm good with them for now.
- Painted the knee pads from Viva Fett and installed the darts from Machine Craft
- Slowly reworking my gauntlets using the hinges provided by Man of War. I was becoming increasingly concerned with just magnets. I'm also removing the gauntlet hose connector, which I stupidly glued on. I have a couple 3.5mm aux extenders on the way.
- I did the "white out" technique on the jetpack, and it turned out okay.
- No photos to show, buy my mother-in-law has started altering my Red Kap overalls. I've got some gray fabric dye on the way. I'm hoping it will both mix with the royal blue for the flightsuit, and serve to dye the flak vest and neck seal.
As I feared, the girth belt I dyed with my brother will be too small. I bought some extra ones on eBay, and I just have to replace the buckles to make them more accurate and dye it.
I used some plastic from a pen cap to test it out the gauntlet hose separation.

Still to do:
- Make alterations to the flak vest
- Purchase web straps for girth belt and cod piece/back belt
- Wookie braids. I might make my own, but more likely than not I'll buy a set from Woodman or another seller.
I'm getting close!
