So Roger, do you use just a plain old leather belt for the mouth? I think its cool how none of the mouths look the same. :thumbs:

We used old belts, and yes, they do take on their own look.

Here are some pics of how far I got last night. Need to do some dying to day so I can get the hood going. I am very pleased how this is turning out. They are all similar but as Roger and I were talking last night, every one is unique and takes on the personality of the maker. I don't think you can see it in the pic but I have a shaggy uni brow going in between the eyes. Kinda funny, gives it character. I am so geeked to get my 501st number designation!

I'm guessing both because Paul's mouth is darler brown than Rogers.
I'm sure there's some disgusting comment that can be inserted here, but I'll leave those to the resident professionals (you know who you are!!!)

Either way, they're both looking great!!

Here is some more of my updated pics. Almost there.......almost there............
I just need to finish a few more things. I am hoping to have pics submitted to the 501st by the end of the week.
The fabric I bought for the robe works really well. It's called Hopsack Linen. I plan on sewing it up in the morning.

Thanks! Here is a few more. I am essentially done except for the neck can and pics to send in for approval. I tried to get some close ups of the fabric but they are less than desirable. I would had Jen take some of me suited up, but she has to work in the morning and was not feeling good.

I guess our Jedi protectors will have to prove how good they are Rip! :lol:

Rob, Krash and Jay Gon had mentioned a Hett costume as well, too funny! I guess I will have to put that in the works some time. I know that there is someone in the RL who has a Hett costume so I can see what he has done.
