  6. Visiting Seattle this Summer

    in Off Topic

    Posted

    Hey Clint, you'll have a great trip as Seattle is gorgeous in June.  You'll dig the EMP exhibit as well.  I don't know of any cons or meetups we are planning during that time yet, but feel free to register on the GT boards.  That way you can keep an eye on our events and maybe have an easier time connecting when you're here.

    These are great photos, Todd. Thank you so much for sharing :duim:

     

    Did you notice what the colours of the ab buttons were? Were they all the same or did they have any other colours? (Hard to tell the colour from the photos)

     

    Could you tell if the boots were painted white or were they white leather? And the shoulder bell straps, could you see if they were glued to the Velcro under the bridges or was there a snap there?

     

    Thanks Paul.  It's hard to tell in person with the ab buttons too as the lighting is dramatic and dim; however, I think they are all the same color.

     

    I didn't see any paint flaking off the boots.  To my surprise, they looked to me like they were actually white leather.  

     

    As for the shoulder straps, I couldn't capture it with a camera, but I could see that beneath the plastic straps was a texture that looked like the hook side of velcro.  It also looks like that is what the shoulder bells attach to.

    Looking forward to seeing much more of this armour. Please take lots of photos :)

     

    Interesting about the snap. All ROTJ armour I have seen have a rivet on the front and Velcro on the back.

     

    You got it Paul.  This looks like the same exact suit featured in the Star Wars Costumes book.  Here is a good shot of the whole suit I grabbed from Geekwire: StormtrooperEMP_zpsf025ef4d.jpg

     

    Here's another nice shot of the top taken from the Seattle PI: stormtrooperemphelmetfromseattlepi_zpsc0

    I trooped the Power of Costume exhibit last night at the EMP in Seattle, and they have a screen-used Endor TK on display.  I'll post some photos later, but there was one surprise:  The shoulder straps were clearly attached to the chest plate using snaps.  I looked for signs that Velcro had been used previously, but the weathering was consistent around the snap to the rest of the costume.
