Good old superglue for mine, I did however buy brand name superglue, not cheapshop stuff. Of course sand teh surfaces to be glued to remove release agent and any paint on teh hasbro ..use fine sandpaper if you are supergluing.

I thoroughly enjoyed the trial vid, very well made . Whilst on the page viewing it , I also watched the black and white "outtake" sort of vid from the cantina, showing Hans girl friend and diferant angle views etc. No doubt that vid isnt news to anyone here, but a quick question from me... in the vid Greedo talks english , no subtitles. This hit a note in my subconscious... did greedo talk in the first cinema release in the seventies ? Ive never seen that vid before , but Im sure Ive heard Greedos voice before ..am I halucinating ? Just for the record, yes I am old enough to have watched star wars first time around and I did Star Wars A New Hope Cantina Scene add ons http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-4...164841154986240

Several times you see the bicep piece actually going over the shoulder bell..they really were that tight, something unheard of in modern replica armour. The Hero bodysuits were fitted far better to the two main actors, hence Lukes short breastplate etc... I dont think any armour producer has really ever nailed the hero shoulder/bicep dimensions/relationship.

Using Troopermasters drawings as inspiration , ever so slightly modded to suit my Hasbro/doopydoos blaster I managed a fairly respectable holster in an hour or so. First I cut out troopermasters template onto my vinyl, and adjusted the magazine area cutout. I also left the length 1/2 longer to cover the tip of the barrel. ------

Thanks guys, I did try the search function before I posted but obviously did something wrong as I didnt find the results... Plus yes , I did make that Forum error of posting without an intro ..sorry.. Ive already purchased vinyl , leather and snaps so Ill continue this thread as a build diary when I get the sowing machine out...

Im going to make my own holster , but before I do , does anyone have approximate dimensions ? Of course I can use screen caps and a blaster itself to get the general layout/dimensions. However , if anyone has done all this before (and Im sure they have ) maybe they could save my brain a workout pass their findings on ?? Cheers Guys Rob
