A little more assembly and fine tune the paint work and its nearly there happy



Someone was complaining the barrel was too long, but I don't know mischief




Just for comparison,the barrel length is more like the original Han DL44(top)but there are shorter barrel blasters.

Also some pics of my prototype helmet bits stuck together(still needs a few more things making)

Found these on ebay tonight for any SAFF ladies looking to make this gown!! I know a couple of you eyes Guri and Starfire have teh sequins and know how! wink

I imagine there is enough there to make the under gown!!


I'd love to make the picnic dress for one, (but my patience would hold out that long, I'm having enough trouble beading the corset gown choker, tired ) but there's this pattern here:

Perfect for it. (Although it's hard to get here and it's the first time I've seen it on ebay.)

Hehehe that's why I went with prestrung beads for my necklace! I was contemplating beading it all, but then my mum pointed out how much simpler (and cheaper) it would be to use the prestrung grin It worked just as well IMO grin Plus there's less worry about the beads coming off and falling all over the floor! That choker is seriously a menace!!! Most impractical piece of jewellery ever! I had to carry it everywhere!

That's not a bad pattern, but I reckon you'd not have much trouble drafting the Picnic mostly yourself. The corset is pretty easy to draft (I never thought I could draft my own patterns til I did the Padme's dinner gown - both the corset and the skirt were easier than I thought), and I reckon you could get away with using basic shapes for the blouse. And then you jsut need a simple gored skirt pattern (or you can draft one up) grin I really wish I could make it....If I ever found a gold/yellow that suited my complexion, I'd grab it grin
