Favorite color alt?

I like the black and white variation (the good cookie, I believe)

2020-12-23 04:03:01 UTC  

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?

2020-12-23 04:03:49 UTC  

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)

2020-12-23 04:06:27 UTC  

There is a separate vest that I velcro the hard chest/torso/shoulder/back armor to.

You might consider elastic straps for the knees

2020-12-23 04:06:41 UTC  

Ohhh yeah

2020-12-23 04:06:50 UTC  

I think Fett actually has that in the movies right?

2020-12-23 04:07:12 UTC  

that would work great, just not sure what type clothing to get for it

He does

2020-12-23 04:10:07 UTC  

Vinyl is cheap at Joann or Walmart, that's what I used, and I sewed it myself.

Canvas works better for Boba. Or duckcloth.

2020-12-23 04:12:17 UTC  

I should be able to find something at one of those places then

2020-12-23 04:12:48 UTC  

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

2020-12-23 04:14:14 UTC  

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

2020-12-23 04:14:35 UTC  

that's cool

2020-12-23 04:14:54 UTC  

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

2020-12-23 04:15:36 UTC  

Sorry that link is huge

2020-12-23 04:15:42 UTC  

Right off the bat found this

2020-12-23 04:15:48 UTC  

But I'll keep looking

2020-12-23 04:17:06 UTC  

I also found a couple of cheap grey flight suits

2020-12-23 04:17:13 UTC  

so I'll probably buy one of those

2020-12-23 04:19:14 UTC  

Etsy actually has a lot on Mando/Star Wars cosplay stuff. It's my go to.

2020-12-23 04:21:07 UTC  

I didn't realize that until today, haha

2020-12-23 04:21:11 UTC  

thanks for the help btw

2020-12-23 04:23:59 UTC  

No problem, k'oyacyi ner vod.

2020-12-23 04:31:43 UTC  

Kandosii.

2020-12-23 04:53:23 UTC  

~~oh wait the Etsy flightsuit is 160$ not 60$ I misread~~

@Lewey Mari Omg that is beautiful!!!

2020-12-23 22:48:22 UTC  

That is nice, I like it.

If I can ever stop being a perfectionist, I might be able to say I finished one of my artworks or other projects....

2020-12-24 00:26:51 UTC  

First part of my flak gun is finished

2020-12-24 00:29:27 UTC  

It’s because of this project in particular I love and hate moving parts

2020-12-24 00:29:34 UTC  

In models to be specific

2020-12-24 00:38:04 UTC  

Damn

2020-12-24 00:38:07 UTC
