  1. I found a pic of the boots (was taked in the "endor" location, this stunt (or actor, who knows) used a black robe coming out from a trailer, I can not see the undersuit details, but the boots are well defined. Making a zoom I can see use a zipper in the inside, black flat thick sole and a wide rib on the ankle Adding contrast to see easily the sewed parts and shapes I will use the same lasts used on the clone boots Ep 2&3 Made the patterns to make the test Cheers
  2. I found this material, is black foamed lycra and let breath the skin, here the material The back: With backlight to see the little breath holes: Checking the screen caps, I found the ribs are half inch apart, this material has 1/4 ribs on the surface, so I will sew jumping one (warn: I whited the pics so you can see the fabric details, the color is black and you will see at the end): Here with black thread: Here with gray thread: Letting light show surfaces: Remember I whited the previous pics so you can see the fabric details, Now a pic with samples together: I think the black thread looks better than the gray thread. This foamed material will be used for the FULL body suit and for the PARTS sewed to a bodysuit, I ordered a pattern for screenprinting over flat lycra (without foam of course) to simulate the ribs, that is for the third option suit.

  3. I am going to try 3 different ways 1: full ribbed suit 2: ribbed portions over flat suit 3: flat suit with full painted ribbets I will take note of costs, difficulties, timings and all involved, you and I will cover the details, we will choose then a guinea pig trooper in hot zone and one in cold to check the suits and hear his/her opinions.
  4. I made separated sleeves, abd and short undersuit for the havoc armor, put your body inside many spare parts burns many time, dress an armor piece by piece give us some stress specially without many staff to help us, I dont want to double the dressing stress adding many soft pieces to fix the dressing puzzle, I have my shocktrooper and takes me 20 minutes using my 1 piece undersuit, so, may be you are right (or no, we don´t know yet) about separated suit sections but will be wise make a single (or maxim 2) undersuit pieces, once you are dressed the public will not see the difference among 1, 2 or 8 suit pieces.
  5. Thanks gang, I hope you enjoy my boots trooping all Christmas time! I have to make a balance between the movie accuracy and the long troopings we will make on this (yes I want my ep7 armor too), by example, the Jango helmet has fabric and elastic in the open hole but in the real life (troopings) is an oven. I think I will made the neckseal and the undersuit in separated items, checking the screen caps I can see a flat zone just under the 8 thin ribs of neckseal. I noted a difference in color between the neckseal and the undersuit in the back screen cap, this make me thing that there are 2 differents materials. I have to make a fresh undersuit BUT without loose the movie appareance. About boots I have to wait and wait and wait may be up to Anaheim trailer, who knows. I have some materials rounding my head Next week will buy some samples to test. BTW if you want the screencaps you can go to this link: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.398745036870211.91201.126769717401079&type=1 I almost forget, if you are part of my FB group, you can reach the Black Friday and Cyber Monday offers by 8 days: https://www.facebook.com/groups/108653819216581/
  6. Finally the Ep 7 was revealed, some screen caps will help me, I am sure we will have more images from LFL/Disney to make this amazing stormtrooper. If you have a Havoc armor you know my accuracy in the soft parts, I will do my best in this project too. I will start making the neckseal, the undersuit and finally the boots (there is no reference yet for the boots) This I have to start I think a full ribbed undersuit will be so hot, only the exposed portion must to be ribbed, has not to be made in neoprene or similar plastic materials, has to be made in fabric like polartec. Right now calculating the ribs widht. Giovanni
  7. Sadly I can´t see the boots yet but the undersuit with neckseal is a viable project to me, I am starting a WIP thread Gio
  8. I started to make today the undersuit and neck seal, I am creating a WIP Thread right now P.S.: I will start to make the boots, by now I have not references for the boots but the undersuit is a GO!! Gio
  9. Finally approved was a long trip but you made the road for next femtroopers. So, the boots CRL ask a central tongue in front and not so high heels?
  10. MIA? Sorry I don't understand that acronym. About the boots my major issue is I can make only up to 9US size there is not big molds for this soles in my country
  11. Good news this means this femtrooper will be aprobed soonely. I am sure gals will go more for the GG Statue style
  12. Pardon, I think I am lost, where in the CRL say "sensitive" boots? I have this to make the Jess Boots: Boots For 501st approval: Boots are above ankle height and made of white leather or leather-like material. Thick sole with lifted heel. No buckles or laces. For level two certification (if applicable): For level three certification (if applicable): There shall be no seam on the front of the boot. There shall be a raised strip down the front of the boot.

In earlier 2011 I started to make the boots for this Female trooper on this thread, now based on the Gentle Giant Boots I am pleased of show you the Legacy Boot, is made in full leather, velcro to attach to ankle armor to avoid "dancing" parts, white eva for soft walking, hided zipper for easy in and out fast dressing in a trooping, the shape is same as the GG statue, with this designed boot I am sure the Jess CRL is almost complete.
