  2. Dooku - Officer Boots - Pull-on Style

    Posted · Edited by Robotster

    I am looking for a pair of boots for my Dooku Costume.  Because I have a fairly close resemblance to Christopher Lee,  I am shooting for top level certification.  This cert level requires an equestrian style pull-on boot (without zipper).  Has anyone run across a source for this type of boot.  I am really struggling with sourcing this boot and any help would be appreciated.

  3. Preventing the blaster holster flipping around

    I noticed that when I put my best blaster in the holster, it did the same exact thing as your picture.  It is basically a combination of two problems, and both need to be addressed before the tilt/flop issue is resolved.  First:  Many holsters are made of very thin material.  Thicker holster material is absolutely necessary to stiffen the holster.  Second: Most blasters, when loaded into the holster, are top-heavy causing them to flop and/or tilt.  I recently built an DLT-19 rifle.  My standard "carry" blaster is a very nice design and has some heft to it.  It flopped over in the holster even though I upgraded my holster.  Since the blaster should be in the holster when carrying the rifle, I needed a solution.  So I purchased a very inexpensive blaster (Hasbro?) and painted/weathered it.  It looks just fine in the holster and weighs just a few ounces and sits in the holster perfectly.
