    Cad Bane and Kit Fisto = My two goals.

    I was lucky and went to the Flea Market and found this guy that was selling his upholstery shop and sold me a roll of fake leather. Cad Bane's jacket, here we go!

    I have found the last and most difficult part of my costume. I enjoyed searching for pieces to create the generic sith. Now If I can learn to use my lightsaber so it doesn't look like I am swinging an axe. I can start working on my snowtrooper so Dan and I can practice our music video. " Ice,Ice, baby" by vanilla ice. We will take "America's Got Talent" to a new level.

    Anyone considering an Imperial Gunner? I know of a helmet kit for a reasonable price.

    Chris,
    I am definitely interested in the imperial gunner since at one time i mentioned tie pilot. We can talk at the August 12 meeting or sooner. I am about 90% done with my perception of a Sith marauder so time to move ahead. Either Imperial gunner or snowtrooper could be my next endeavor.

    I might be thinking about doing a Hoth Echo Base Luke from the Empire custscenes, that way I'll have a little more fun doing this project, and it'll be more independent, since most costumers don't do this one. It's the one with less bulk than the one he was wearing on his tauntaun, and he is not wearing any headwear. If anyone can help me with ideas or if maybe Bryan, if you could give me a list? Any help would be super appreciated.

    Haven't touched my pilot in probably a month. I'll try and order webbing for the harness next week.

    I have some webbing if someone can use it. It might be betetr suited for a belt, as it has writing on the one side.

    this story I think is pretty cool. His stuff is expensive as all hell, but even still, exact film replicas from the exact mold is a pretty cool thing. And it's along the line of costuming.

    I agree his stuff is cool and expensive.

    The only issue is you have to have someone buy it in england and ship it here. He is not allowed to sell it to anyone here in the states. If you look around you can find someone who "cloned" one of these suits and sells them for 1/10th the price.

    Looking at Clone Wars characters for potential future costumes, but everyone has all the bases covered pretty much, since I wont do armor

    I don't have any real new costumes planned, but I do have to get my ROTJ Luke pants taken in a bit. They are too large. I also need to make a new Jedi belt for my generic Jedi costume, since the original got too damaged in the fire.
