Clamps[TK] Posted July 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 Alrighty. Finally some success on the undersuit. After digging through racks and racks at every store possible I have been able to find women's XS Capri pants. This is fine as it more than covers the kids knees. And digging through tons of racks in Dicks I have found a shirt that works. Just waiting on the boots to arrive and we'll be all set to finish things when I return from vacation.

Clamps[TK] Posted July 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 My daughter is 54" and a wafer thin. My son is 52" and is solid head to toe. This was measurement when I ordered from ya. Let me get a fresh measure for ya in a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clamps[TK] Posted July 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 ok, I have been off the grid a bit more than expected the, but progress is being made. Next full test fitting in a day or so. Boots have been painted. BEFORE AFTER shins shortened (from bottom). I have added some strapping for the thigh to be held up with a small belt. --------- I also received additional set of limbs to use for my daughter. Those have been rough trimmed. I just need to sand out the top/bottom and fronts. I will then glue front cover strips before performing the sizing steps. Also, all coverstrips have been cut out. Will size those down and cut corners when the limbs are sized. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark PWF[Staff] Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 Can't wait to see the test fit. I plan to take this journey in a handful of years myself! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clamps[TK] Posted July 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 Been sick the last few days hindering progress. But here is a shot from our almost complete test fitting. Only missing TD. I don't intend on attaching a holster at this time as I am not letting the kids carry Blasters at such a big show coming up. I have a few areas to trim for comfort and a few straps to tweak by overall we're there. Next time chunk to be focused on daughters limb construction.

Clamps[TK] Posted August 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 Been swamped lately. Here is latest progress. TD clips bent and installed. Here is mini-me ready for action. Currently glueing front coverstrips on daughters limbs. Then I can size the back and close it up for her. Likely full suit up for her by weekend I all goes to plan.

Clamps[TK] Posted August 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 It was a tough night. Sooooo much plastic cut from thighs and shins to fit skinny girls legs. But they fit well Her fit will be better than my sons. I wanna now rip apart his thighs and redo them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
