Re: 41st Elite Clone w.i.p.

Re: i'm a moron LOL

You dont need a return edge under the arm. Plus, it will be a lot MORE COMFORTABLE then if you have one. You wont see it anyways. The best way to make the suit more comfy is to cut things like this that is not visible. Hope that this helps.

Re: Beginning a Vader costume - any helpers?

If you want to do work on your own, you can save a ton of money. Still has to be accurate, but you pay for the labor. Most people have normal jobs and squeeze this awesome hobby into there free time, and that is what you pay for. But like Terrell said, paying top dollar is NOT always the way to go. ...
