Well, it's about time I started getting the advice of the fine folks on here as I now have my armor and am working on the details to get official.
I was invited to wear this armor for a recent parade and it fit pretty well and it was then offered to me at a good price so I bought it. I made a few changes to the thigh armor to help with the fit and wore it last Saturday at a local Star Wars Appreciation Day hosted by the local 501st guys, the same who asked me to the parade. I had a great time of course.
Here's a pic of me at the event with my home built Han in Carbonite (the original parade invite was because they wanted my HIC in the parade ;-) )
I know that I need to change the tube stripes to blue, that's in the works right now. I also need to cover the belt in canvas, that too is in the works. I've also added a strap to the thigh armor to make it ride a little higher.
So I'm looking for advice on anything else that needs to be improved/changed. Also, I'm a bit confused between the Stunt/Hero differences so help on that would be appreciated.
Also, I have the bubble lenses that I could use instead for the helmet, does that make any difference, is one style better than the other?
And yes, I know the blaster is not canon, it was borrowed for the day. I have another at home ready to be painted now.
Thanks for any advice.
