accurate ewok build

[Onlyalad19]

Holy crap, I thought these were just screen grabs from ROTJ!...j/k. These are fantastic costumes and by far the best I have ever seen. From beginning to end, just amazing work.

I am sorry that i have been away so long. I have been away due to life and the hacking situation. I am very grateful for all the comments. I am still working on ewoks and will post some pics soon. Thanks again for viewing my thread!

I'm a huge Ewok fan... I've literally watched the Ewok tv movies well over 100 times each and I must say, your costumes look great!

I just found this thread, but I am super loving it! Great job!

This is an outstanding build. I am a new TK. Just started trooping. My 10 year old daughter wants to join me as an Ewok. This build gives me a great place to start.

Lenses are comprised of baby bottle lid covered with flexible tint( 5%).
bottle

lid w/ scoreline

lid w/ tint streched over dome

lid cut w/ curved lexan scissors, You can use a bit of superglue gel around the edges( I did not glue these ) You end up w/ some bunching but you never see it

Spear made from found stick and tip made w/ oven bake clay and carved, then painted. Wrapped it up with twine.

Body suit

That is the build, I will be adding the troop pics w/ the final suits next
here are the teaser test fitting shots

Where do I find the flexible tint?

 

[naatsirhc]

the tint is found at walmart or auto supply. not that it helps you a year later, my apologies!

Here is a clip of my second ewok(brown) and the one Tk4261 made.

These suits went to a new home, so these are not our kids. They did a great job of getting in character!

Where did you get your fur? I've been having a real issue finding some that looks accurate or at least somewhat real.

 

[Level426]

phizz I got my fur from my local fabric shop, depending on time of year is when they get there stock in. I live in Australia. The best for it, is the luxury Fur, I have worked with long and short fur. you will be looking at around $40 to $60 a Meter.
Note: when cutting fur, cut under the fur only the fabric ...less mess.
