SorenM[TK] Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 (edited) My son (7 yo) and I went to CE II, he is a SW geek just like me ( I am certain that it isn't the result of me influencing him, beginning when he was 6 months old).. We talked about what it would be like and what to expect. I told him that there would be a costume competition, and he immediately wanted to participate as a Jawa. His mother and I started working on a costume (cheap was paramount...but ended up not that cheap actually). He finished 3rd in the childrens category. This is the blaster I made This is his costume Messing with troopers from the French Garrison ( I think it was) It always ends up badly...

Logon Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 Where did you get the ammo belt?My girlfriend wants to do a jawa costume becase she is only 158cm tall so she could pass as a tall one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SorenM[TK] Posted August 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 (edited) Where did you get the ammo belt? My girlfriend wants to do a jawa costume becase she is only 158cm tall so she could pass as a tall one The belt itself is just a strip made from faux leather (PVC), but if you look closely in the movie an old belt with a square simple buckle will do.:-)The ammo pouches are authentic k98 pouches ( which I had) they can often be found for around 3-400 SEK, it is roughly what a set of replicas will cost you on ebay. Additionally the Jawas used old Swedish ( funny eh?) k98 equivalent pouches, as well as old british cavalry bandoliers..I bought the bandolier on ebay from India, but it did not arrive in time to be used...but next time:-)... I am tweaking the costume for next time, LEGO land next year:-) Do you know this page ? http://www.partsofsw.com/ Loads of useful info!....

Yeah I understood on what you said, and what everybody else told me, that TM is among, if not the best out there, so that is why I chose him. The fact that Paul really comes across as a great guy, that is just a real bonus.I am looking forward to posting shots in September.(hoping on three weeks (ish) from now...woohhoo:-).... Feel like a kid the days before Christmas:-) Edited August 24, 2013 by SorenM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
