I ordered it online. I don't remember the shop, sorry.
That's alright, I should be able to find one somewhere.
What do you plan to use to attach the armor to the soft parts?
Personally, I like velcro, it means it's not stuck there and I can still wash the fabric, but is still very secure.
On the boot armor I used screws though.
Dont ask why it says skrillex
Were you listening to music when you made it? I had an art teacher that had us paint what came to mind while he played music.
Yes, we had to listen to several music fragments, create sketches with everyone one and ultimately choose our favourite and create the finished piece
I like it.
"Experts"
Favorite color alt?
(The pink is names the trans with claws.) (Dumb name I know lmao)
I like the black and white variation (the good cookie, I believe)
In this version it worked like a vest as it was all rigged together with metal wire, it worked well but I think I'm gonna either glue it to the flight suit or (preferably) use velcro or something along those lines in my second version. My only question is, how would you velcro the chest armor? I understand that with the knee armor you can just put velcro strips on each side and strap them together, but how would it work on the torso armor?
I should also mention I used yarn strings for the kneepads and shoulder plates which works but can loosen badly overtime and will need replaced after each usage (it's pretty much impossible to untie)
There is a separate vest that I velcro the hard chest/torso/shoulder/back armor to.
You might consider elastic straps for the knees
Ohhh yeah
I think Fett actually has that in the movies right?
that would work great, just not sure what type clothing to get for it
Vinyl is cheap at Joann or Walmart, that's what I used, and I sewed it myself.
Canvas works better for Boba. Or duckcloth.
I should be able to find something at one of those places then
the images of these materials I'm seeing online all look a bit too stitched but I'm assuming there are lots of different types of them
Yeah, when you start with the sturdier materials, there are vendors online (especially Etsy) who specifically make vests like that, a little bit pricier than DIY, but very faithful to the movies
that's cool
I'll probably end up making it myself for budget reasons but it's worth a look in case there might be something cheap around
Sorry that link is huge
Right off the bat found this
But I'll keep looking
I also found a couple of cheap grey flight suits
so I'll probably buy one of those
Etsy actually has a lot on Mando/Star Wars cosplay stuff. It's my go to.
I didn't realize that until today, haha
thanks for the help btw
No problem, k'oyacyi ner vod.
Kandosii.
~~oh wait the Etsy flightsuit is 160$ not 60$ I misread~~
