Well I guess its more room for electronics and padding.

Well, I deciphered the code of the "holster" part that actually holds the guns.
I blew this image way up, then colored in the clips for illustration purposes:
Basically it's vertically clip that the crossbar of the grip snaps into. You can also see it here in this render:
I'm going to see about getting this modeled for printing. Just wanted to share!

Can't wait to see how the prints turn out. Have you thought about making the peace that is on his thigh? The button thing.

Its been a day or too since I posted progress because I have been working on it and keep forgetting to upload the pics I've taken :lol so here is what the past couple days and an all nighted have gotten me.
So to start I got the rest of the jet parts in the mail and acetoned them and started building them. I also finished the first one.
I also started painting the helmet and got a great color mix for the yellow.
Them painted the silver( flat aluminum)
got all of the small detail parts ready.
These things were a pain! I wondered why davy sent 2 sets of these small parts and I now understand why. I broke like three different ones. And I still had to use ca glue to fill cracks and gaps on the good ones.
So after a two hour tape job… I got something pretty great!
It looks good but it still needs some touch up painting, the detail parts, lenses, lights, and padding. but I am really happy with it
I'll be finishing the last painting today and I'm going to let it cure for 24 hours and then apply an automotive clear coat.
What do you guys think?

Here is were my helmet is at right now.
Did touch up and detail painting.
After that I started on the foam for my head. I just used EVA foam mats left over from my Iron man suit. Cutting was a hobby knife and I used hot glue gun to put the sections in the helmet.
I also used a dremel to round the edges to give a nicer appearance.
The fit on my head...
And finally the mild distressing and small pieces.
The helmet got a coat of clear automotive enamel about an hour ago and is now in my garage drying. I'll levee it over night and put the lenses in tomorrow.
sadly I won't be able to put leds in the eyes for opening night of the movie but having the helmet is better than nothing

The lenses came with davy's kit, for paint I used a model paint called Tamiya.
The colors were:
_TS-38 Gun Metal
_XF-16 Flat Aluminum
_XF-4 Yellow Green
_X-12 Gold Leaf
the yellow had a small bit of the gold mixed to get the right metallic color. I used an air brush to paint most everything except for the gun metal which I used a spray can.
weathering was dome with Silver leaf Rub'n buff and thinned out brown paint from Walmart.
Hope that helps
Took these photos at the Arclight if it helps:

Well I have more update photos to day
biggest news is I finished my helmet!
Well as much as i can do before the movie on thursday night.
The eyes are what need to be finished with less but i want to do them properly so I'll order that stuff later.
But heres what it looks like with a flash light in it
The next biggish type news is my boots arrived, they are anime boots but I thought they were close enough.
Here are the things i was talking about using.
They are simple and work great.
The process is simple…
Punch hole.
Hammer ing rivet things. 
Repeat.
Then muster the strength to drill a 1/2" hole in the back of the jets and glue in the pieces.
And now that all of that is done I did my first suit up and it looks awesome!
I am really happy with the costume and can't wait to see the movie while cosplaying in the theater!

Anyone had any luck or even tried looking for Young Quill's vintage t shirt from the opening scene?
Text is as follows:
RIVER RAFT
(graphic)
J.D. Canoe Rentals
Dolores River
Appears to be one of those weird trends of the 80s, random subject t shirts either from real stores or fabricated.

To answer some questions about my boots I ordered them from cosplaysky, the same place I ordered my jacket from.
here is the link:
http://cosplaysky.com/uta-no-prince-sama-maji-love-2000-syo-kurusu-cosplay-boots.html
They are good boots but could be better. I were an 11.5 shoe normally but the boots are a bit loose so you might want to get a half size smaller since they run a bit big it seems.
The snap things I used to attach the boots I got from A.C. Moore and it comes with the tools to put it in the fabric, but when putting the pices in the jets you will need a 1/2 inch drill bit and CA glue.
I'm out of town right now so I can't post pics of me at my local theater but when I get back I'll post them and I have a pretty good story to go along with it to.

It's a bit dark, but otherwise looks very similar to the one everyone else seems to be using

I'm loving all of these builds!
I'm trying to get my own Star-Lord cosplay together but I'm having a difficult time with a few things. For instance the rockets--all I can find are these:
https://www.etsy.com/listing/198586457/star-lord-rocket-boosters?ref=favs_view_1
For $100--which seems like a lot. Is this actually a normal price, or does anyone know anywhere else I can find those rockets for sale?

The maker for that is actually another RPF member offering those via Etsy and 501st and here in the forums. Talsiri's a great guy.
Due to the fragility of the 'struts' on the rockets, it's not able to be cast without some real problems. Therefore, it has to be 3D printed and assembled. $100 is understandable, if expensive.
