THE NEW AND IMPROVED SUPER-DUPER COSTUME AND PROPS THREAD !

Thanks for the info and the clip Jeff. I need at least a 10.5 to fit over my fat legs.....

 

Joann's grand opening!!!! Who's with me???? We can make it a 100% RMFF hang out day

http://www.joann-grandopening.com/2234/

 

That would be super fun if I'm not otherwise occupied with parents coming through town. I have no $ though....

 

First 100 peeps get at $10 gift certificate. I hope that's me

I only need a few things but they do raffles too, so you can put your name in and might win $500 wouldn't that be cool?

 

Ooooooo. I'll have to see when my parentals are coming through. Y'know, once they figure it the %!@# out.

 

I feel ya, I was asking my sister when would be a good time to fly in to California. What day would be best, she said yes to every date I threw at her and then when it came time to pick me up from the airport she was like, uhm.....

So good thing I had Alison as a backup

 

They're not coming through till Sunday -- shoot me a text if you're still planning on going and I'll see if I can make it work!

 

Super deals were had by all & I got some fab fabric that I hope to make into something awesome for a fashion show I want to do in December.

 

This reminds me... I need to fix my shin armor.

 

With fabric?

 

Ladies in need of calf-boots: Ross just got in a bunch of black boots, and most of them have gussets. Some have strappy/buckley things that look easily removable, and prices are around $25 from what I saw.

 

I have some plastic to do a shim, and a far bigger swatch of velcro to hold it on. My calf is too big for the armor, and it needs to be made bigger.

 

Hancock's is going out of business in Westy on 92nd/Wads. Sale just started 11/13 so it's still at 20% for the most part but I'm going to go check it out today at lunch to find out for myself!

 

OMG!! There's still a Hancocks???? I thought the company nationwide went out of business years ago!!! And I just bought fabric at Joann's... oh, well.

 

There's a Hancock's near my house that is still going strong!

 

I didn't know where to put this...anyone who wears a size 10 shoe wanna look at what I am ditching before I donate them?

 

At one point in time I had planned on doing the Leia Endor Trooper costume. I no longer plan on doing this costume hand have 2 pair of soft blue knit stretch stirrup pants in soft blue size large free to anyone who wants them for this costume. Just let me know.

 

i hope this is the right place for this, but i have the Darth maul and Obi Wan Force FX sabers and i was wondering if anyone knows where or how i can get them repaired? the darth maul ones battery compartments are all FUBAR'd...

 

I think this is a first for me to post in this thread.

In honor of the upcoming Skiff float for the parade, I'd like to put together a ROTJ Luke Jedi costume.

(The one on the right).

It doesn't seem too hard, but with somebody like myself with absolutely no skills, I'd need help. Anybody out there who has advice or can help me put together this costume? I have republic credits...

 

here are the RL costume standards:

Jabba's Palace / Sarlaac Pit
"Reviewed on March 30, 2009"

Required Items:




Black long-sleeve shirt w/mandarin-type collar with fold-over bib

Black flat front tight-fitting pants no visible pockets

Black or dark grey vest w/scarf-style tabbards and wide sash belt

Black equestrian-type knee-high boots

Luke's ROTJ hero lightsaber hilt


Optional:



Brown or black hooded cloak (wool/wool blend)

Black leather belt with silver weathered octagonal buckle w/small back pouch

Palace guard blaster

Black leather glove on right hand

This looks like the main Luke Jedi thread at the RL.
I hope this helps!

 

sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo who is working on what?

 

When I stop procrastinating.... I have Bespin Leia, Hoth Leia, back to finishing my Jedi, pay Darth Hair and Sith Chick for my X-Wing Pilot ...

The Maker knows I do enough events that I'll find time to wear ALL TEH COSTUMES.

 

I dunno. I need something new for Halloween.

 

This won't help you, but I am selling my Endor Rebel Trooper (complete) and 2 jawas. Drop me a PM if interested.
