Pyrates[TK] Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 Is it possible to do a loose pony tail then stick it under your neck seal or maybe a samurai bun at the lowest part of your hair line so it doesn't catch on your hard hat liner?

Brattie[TK] Posted March 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 Okay... A-Aron.. I don't plan on having Hard Hat Liner.. I have pads.. and my hair is too long for a bun.. but I could do a loose pony tail and keep it under everything else.. I just worry that might make my neck seal tight. I'll figure it out by trial and error.. or shave my head. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep the hair dudette - if you're doing pads then maybe "Pippy" braids then use those small Velcro straps for bundling cords on your braids and you will be able to tack it into you're helmet to another piece of Velcro secured inside - make sense? With hair as long as yours you will be able to take it on and off with the least chance of pulling hair. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TK 2759[501st] Posted March 10, 2016 Report Share Posted March 10, 2016 French twist, ad hair down back through neck seal, is what I've seen on women with TKs, and some men do the ponytail thing too... <br><br> Fans are awesome to have on hand. Being able to,slot them in and remove them as required is best! This is what I've done with my own, never know when you'll need them... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brattie[TK] Posted March 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2016 That seems like some good Ideas. I don't mind looking like Pippy Long-stocking with the double braids.. interesting Idea.. will have to play around and see what works Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brattie[TK] Posted March 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2016 (edited) yeah... I don't own a sewing machine either so it might be difficult but I thought it might be something else to look into while I still research everything else for my TK. Running out of stuff to ask and read and question etc .. Laugh.. What's the website for Jawa? Do they have something like a white armor.. looking for tips and such on that now too.. Laugh.. Pickles posted the CRL for them .. Figure it's a fun backup in case I fail miserably at my TK build and don't want to become a Sandy Traitor. Laugh.

Brattie[TK] Posted March 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2016 (edited) Thanks Jason! I just need to find out how to make a JAWA costume now.. I have a good idea how to get the mask and do the lights.. I just have to sort out how to do the rest of the costume.. from what I'm hearing it can be done for fairly cheap which might serve as a good back up to my TK. found this though - http://www.tk1336.com/jawa.html http://www.kraytclan.com/forum/topic/2297-how-to-build-a-jawa-from-team-jawa/ Edited March 10, 2016 by Brattie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airborne Trooper[501st] Posted March 10, 2016 Report Share Posted March 10, 2016 If you decide to do a Jawa or any cloth heavy based costumes, you're going to want to invest in a sewing machine. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brattie[TK] Posted March 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2016 Very True Jason.. but I may just have to lean on my friends for that! LAUGHS 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyrates[TK] Posted March 10, 2016 Report Share Posted March 10, 2016 Very True Jason.. but I may just have to lean on my friends for that! LAUGHS Or ask a fellow recruit who has a sewing machine for some help 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComradeDave[TK] Posted March 10, 2016 Report Share Posted March 10, 2016 My fiancee wants to do a Jawa too, at 5'2" she is the perfect size lol. However neither of us know how to use a sewing machine. Better call Mom lmao 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brattie[TK] Posted March 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 (edited) I have EPIC News.. I am acquiring a second BLASTER.. one that has a working stock and all sorts of fun stuff.. It is really light too!!! This Blaster was recommended through a couple friends and isn't too bad of a price. It's always good to have options!!! Christopher was so awesome to deal with as well. Answered all my questions And.. I'll get to assemble this one and sand and paint it as well so I get to do something while I wait for the BBB. He recommends a spray putty primer to help smooth it out and sand paper higher than 250. So making note of that. What glue and putty do you guys recommend for this type of work? And.. I think I'm going to start to look at a Jawa.. just have to get access to the site.. still waiting Validation or something on the kraytclan forum.
