Nice to have a quality Tusken here......

 

Ooops, I should have said - Thanks SA for the link to the bowcaster. Didn't read it properly

 

It's a damn fine read too! Very informative

D_M, that's brilliant. Have been watching this with interest! Are you going to "add" sound to it?

 

Did a bit more today. It's amasing how much work you get done when the weather's cooler...

The mask is fully assembled. It looks as good in real life as the pics.

@ MS - Yeah, I've heard that about the sand. I'll be looking into so footware. Maybe some 'desert boots'

@ Phoon - Glad you had success with the leather place. They were pretty helpful when I was getting the bandoliers sorted.

@ evil - I'm certainly aiming for a quality job. Spending a little more $$$ on that mask kit was a definite plus. Its an amazing piece.

@ 6082 - No sounds at this stage, barring any muffled cries myself. Which will probably be along the lines of "Somebody get this thing off me. I can't breathe"

The full set of pics for the mask progress are here.

now to start on the other parts

 

Me likey

Question: Anyone here willing to do 'proper' tailored sewing (suit jacket stylee...with a sci-fi-ish twist I can explain later) if I provide the material, the pattern and some cash? What I have planned is something that Jen isn't quite willing to attempt. I've tentatively lined up someone to do it, but she's also not 100% sure she'll be able to do it.

Anyone with the confidence, skill and time, PM me and we'll chat.

 

i think these pictures might give a better dimension to what i just got.....

looking great DM can't wait for the next project

 

Shhhhhh... don't tell Mrs Meanders there is a next project.

 

is there gonna be any leaked info on this new project... or is it going to be hush hush

 

After wearing the Tusken to work, a friend sent me this talk by Adam Savage at TED on his obsessions. I'm sure a few people here will recognise something of themselves there - I did

 

wow you guts have been busy as great work on the tusken raider meanders cant wait to see the finished bow caster too cool
