Do it!

Cant wait to see it!

I used the "butt-joint" method on both my AM suits & im doing the same on my friends build. Works like a charm

Very Awesome! looking forward to seeing it!

That turned out so Sweet, bummer you don't live closer. We would make an awesome Han & Chewie team.

I wasn't happy with my belt, so I remade it... But after that I finally got my soft order in & was accepted to the RL I swear Im really just a Imperial spy

Great job Art! Good luck on the app!

Sick man!

All done, now just waiting for my threads....

Alright update time! I stopped working on my current belt & decided to start over. I wasn't happy with how things were going & not to mention I forgot to dye any of the orginal pieces before starting. So I started over with extra material from the over kill I had originally purchased. Since then, I have pretty much completed my belt & holster. And I am currently finishing the tool sets with a final coat of paint a sealer. I have a evolution props droid caller & a Elvis trooper disk en route as this is being written. First attempt Starting over Late night shoot before leather conditioner And done

I have become a reference point, how exciting! While I dont think that the empire is building & handing out Lightsabers, it does make perfect sense that a special ops solider of any type would be well schooled in the use & tactics of a wide range of weapons that might be found on the battle field...

Update time I picked up some scrap sheet metal & decided to try my hand at metal working. Belt Buckles just about complete. Next step is to get some leather & tools & try my hand at leather working

Much better suits can be found for much less, imo

I got the resin parts from a guy on ebay. I guess he makes them, then sets them for auction. But I was able to get mine directly from the supplier, no ebay required

Thanks guys The belt I found online. Though I ordered the belt with just 3 rows of plain punched holes, it came with a grommet in everyone. So that's were the pile came from. The base gun is a Die cast non firing replica. And for now all the extra parts are are resin cast of original screen accurate parts. In the future im going to replace them with machine metal parts. But its the difference between $40 bucks & like $200, not to mention the supplier was out of stock at the time I was collecting odds & ends. My next step is to get all the leather, dye, and metal/"blanks" (for the holster rig set up) And construct Holster & rig around my Recently finished blaster. I have the "tools" & accessories that also go into the belts many pockets awaiting final touches. Im still on the fence about the droid caller, but I found a cool one, though not screen accurate, it has a working flashlight & vibrating motor in it. (great to show off at events). I will post more hopefully after an upcoming armor party!
