Great Lakes Garrison & Base

Very good weathering job. Fuller's Earth is the best for Sandy's! At least that's what I am seeing on that pauldron.

That RULES. Add the "gonk gonk" sound effect and he's good to go!

That's the first Tusken I've EVER seen to use the Biker Scout flip-up method. Wow, I like your approach on this.

It's pretty close to a Boba Fett vest, but the velcro closure is on the front side instead of the back side if I remember correctly.

That's a strange looking Stormtrooper costume.

Nice work, Chris. Looks good.

That is one cool looking costume. Great job!

If I was holding onto a 45 pound barbell plate and stood on a scale, I'd weigh as much as Ripcode.

Like Biker Scouts?


That's cool David is making those. Neat idea, I think!

Well done replica of that artwork you just posted!

Yeah, but Squadleader asked which of the many Vaders we have are the most active at trooping, currently. You can't be actively trooping if your costume isn't done yet.

All you need to remember if doing that method is leave a little more visor material on the bottom when cutting the visor to shape, so it'll hang below the opening a little more so people looking from the side can't see in.

Another tip when gluing in the visor. Don't glue it all the way around. Just glue the top and some down the sides. Let it hang straight down and not 100% flush with the bottom. This way you have a little slit of ventillation and people can't really see it if installed well.

Could be, I saw he has both an older and the brand new Camaros.

If I was Vader sized, I'd jump on that deal in a heartbeat. Never seen a decent one listed so cheap.

If it's the one I'm thinking of, not an engine repair. He just bought a new Camaro. INCREDIBLE price on it, though.

This is an extremely awesome comprehensive tutorial.

So this means you're geeked that Jayne will be at Detroit Fanfare con in September, Wags?

Using the Dutch coveralls is a good choice. Other Kaylee costumers I've seen use the same one as a base.

That would be hilarious.

The one Kim got didn't have any weathering at all. Straight black. I had to weather it.
