charlyselo's IAT - Andor (Aldhani) WIP

[charlyselo]

Hi there!

I am finally going to start my WIP for this uniform. 

I'm going to try to go for version 2 with armor, and even a possible version 3 and 4 if they end up being made with the helmet and waiter's apron, but it doesn't make much sense to go for version 2 without going through version 1 first.

I start from an ICAT costume that I had intended to make but discarded when I saw these, which I like better. That's why I already have some pieces of the armor. In addition, since I have several officers and a TIE pilot, I also have the boots and belt.

I go then with the list of parts and the state:

• Helmet and googles: Not ordered yet
• Hat: Jim Tripon (jimmiroquai) - Ordered
• Code Disk: reused from my officers
• Jacket: Jim Tripon (jimmiroquai) - Ordered
• Belt: reused from my officers
• Belt boxes: Philoprops - Not ordered yet
• Gloves: still trying to find a source
• Pants: Jim Tripon (jimmiroquai) - Ordered
• Boots: reused from my TIE Pilot (jackboots)
• Armor: Maker unknown (as I buy it second-hand) - already have it, but it's still raw
• Possible E-11: already have it

As you can see, I'm pretty well on muy way for a V1, I just need to wait for Jim to send me the suit and order (and paint) the belt boxes from philoprops. For the armor I still need to sand, paint, sand, paint, sand... You know what I mean 😛

I will update this thread as long as I have some news. Thanks! 😄

New to trooping, looking to build this kit as well. Your itemized list has given me some great structure to follow for my own build. Looking forward to seeing your progress!
