On friday my new shoes arrived!
I'm quite happy with them.
And look what I found for cheap
October 15th is near, so the white plastic is not far away!
Cheers,
Hello!
Just a week left until buying "gets serious".
And still i have a couple of unsolved questions.
1) Will this hose be ok for the belt if i cut it?
2) Can I really screw the armor up, when I cut a bit too much down (I know how a screwed up helmet looks like, so Mark's got a job on the helmet)
3) I just noticed that some ROTJ TKs have a strapping without brackets or buttons. Is this made with velcro and is it ok? (Yeah, I am researching for 8 months and I have not noticed it until now)
Thanks for your help!
Yesterday I got a firehose:
------------
It's 4,6 inches (11,8 cm) wide.
CRLs say, that it should be 2,25 to 2,5 inches (5,7 to 6,4 cm) wide.
So I will have to cut it down.
Finally some pictures!
This is what i have so far:
My gloves:
The undersuit:
And as my personal favorite, my own E-11 ROTJ Blaster!
I also found some boots similar to TK-Boots, but in Europe
All in all, I am still in the business!
Oh that is different to what I was planning to do.
Thanks to you I have a different way (anyway, I believe my plans were not very good ) and it is fantastic!
Back in White! (I just wanted to say that )
It's been some time since I've updated this post, so here we go!
- Undersuit is here
- The blaster is ordered and nearly finished, just the paint is missing
(I think, i'll go with this one: http://www.amazon.de/Morello-Lederfarbe-Glattleder-40ml-Pflegewei%C3%9F/dp/B0082YWNCE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1401126134&sr=8-1&keywords=Morello+lederfarbe+pflegeweiss)
- Boots are ordered
- so are the gloves
- Neckseal and holster will be ordered today or tomorrow
All in all there is not very much left to do until the "real" work starts
Then I should wait with the blaster, shouldn't I?
By the way:
I now have passed my Abitur (I think you call it A-Level Exams) officially!
The only thing that can stop me now is my lack of money
Caution! Uptdate incoming!
To bring some life back to this topic:
Yes, I am still alive
and no, I have not given up.
The problem is, I am still in the middle of my finals and time is short for other stuff.
Hopefully all will be done by the end of the next week.
I talked to Kai and he would build me a blaster! (and it is way less expensive than I found before)
Now I can concentrate again on assembling (and my exams of course).
Edit: I still need that fire hose belt. Mark, do you have one of those so I can order them with all the other stuff?
At the GG there is a guy called "chachov" who actually built ROTJ E-11 blasters. I should as him if he still does
I will go with the jodhpur boots (found some on Ebay and painted white they are approved)
As already mentioned, I am not 18, so it will take some time until I am able to purchase the "expensive" stuff
But I hope everything will be done until September.
