Um... do we really not have any threads about these costumes? There aren't any listed in the index, and several searches didn't give me any results either. confused I could have sworn we did.

That's amazing that there aren't any threads. shock

I've been working on a Tusken Female for some time now and I have a tutorial site:

Jada's Tusken Female site

I've done everything but make the shawl. I'm also helping my husband with making his Tusken male.

edit: wrong link blush

Yeah, a couple of people (including myself) over in the RMFF forum have been thinking about putting some female Tuskens together to compliment the current Tuskens they have. happy

So, um... lets get a Tusken thread going, then! grin

Great resource, Jada! Thanks!

Personally, I am not a fan of the godzilla kit at all. We have someone locally who makes a killer kit, with aluminum eyes, spikes and a great fitting helmet. We've done a bunch of tuskens locally and I'll post a few pics of it.

But first and foremost I would recommend that anyone looking to make a tusken go to the Krayt Clan. It's purpose is to help new tuskens get made. There is a lot of good info there, and if you are looking to make a female tusken, you might find some good stuff there as well. wink shhh whistling

Here are pics of my tusken and others from the RMFF:

and some of my works in progress:

Hope this helps!

Those are awesome costumes! I've been thinking of doing a female tusken eventually, as a change of pace from my usual Jedi/Sith regalia.

That's some great leatherwork, DMZbadger! Very nice work!!! And that's cool that you're doing a bantha. Is that for parades as a float, or just for grins and giggles?

I had my mask made by the Detachment Leader for the 501st's Krayt Clan. I was amazed at how lightweight it was. Here's my dog wearing it:



I made my bracelets out of Crayola Model Magic. I'll probably remake them with Sculpey.

Thanks, Kre! happy

I also did several different tea/coffee baths. The last one I did was the most successful. I used a whole box of black tea with some cinnamon and a few blackberry teabags. It gave the material a great color.

All I have left to do is my shawl and that is really killing me because I need someone to help me and if I ask my husband to pin fabric onto me I'm afraid he'll really pin it on me and turn me into a pin cushion! worried tongue
