Re: Jawa on a Shoestring
Here's a couple more progress pictures.
I've got the Muslin mock up finished, I found I need to add some length to the bottom of the robe and open up the sleeves a bit.
I practiced sewing all day yesterday, straight lines, swirls, square swirls, so I could do this today. :lol
I initially bought the pattern on the left, but the sleeves are too wide and the yoke isn't on the Jawa, but the robe pattern on the right worked perfect. $1.99.
Also the gown on the left used far more material than the robe pattern, which gave me plenty of material for the hood and strips and scraps.
I found these shoes at the goodwill for $1.50.
I'm going to wrap them with the strips.
I hit up grandpa for some of his old work belts....free.
A little dremmel work, spray paint, ink and a gallon of Boot Oil.
Here's the barrel of the Ion Blaster, a cut-up funnel and a insulated cup from the .99 store.
Right now it's just primer, Water Putty, Truck Bed Liner spray, hot glue and corn meal.
I know the welds are a
bit exaggerated, but I'm wanting to go for a real ruff, rugged, weathered aesthetic.
Here's a oil-blackened battery terminal cleaner from the .99 store, it's just a part of the Blaster.
