Awesome Thanks so much for the help!!!

Has anyone started a Matt build yet? I have started the hunt for all the pieces and parts so if you find any, feel free to post them here. Thanks for the help! Orange First Responder Pouches...

Hey I finished my Wicket suit! I loved working on every part of this project and I am so happy to have finally finished him. I have uploaded all of my progress pics to my Facebook Album here: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.931815923507427.1073741838.403999436289081&type=3 I would...

Thanks Sithman and Apollo. He has been so much fun to make.

Thanks TazMan... Here he is with most of the pieces assembled. I am still working on the feet. My sewing machine died so I have been hand stitching the shoe covers and the toes.

Here is an update, I have finished the head and started working on the cowl. There is nothing like working on $80 sheets of leather with no real plan or template... One wrong move and I would have to take another trip down to the Tandy Leather shop. The finished head looks enormous on my...

And here are the most recent photos from today's work. Right now the eyes are only taped into place until I can get outside and tint them with some wood varnish and some polyurethane. You can see the substructure is holding together really well and I will be covering the insides with some...

Here are some more photos for the past couple of weeks. So my mum and I sat down to work on the body section and I wanted to create a suit that contained a under padding that could be removed and washed. This separate padding section would also allow the padding to be adjustable and...

I have been working on an Ewok Build and wanted to post up some WIP pics. Check out the progress so far. He's not pretty right now but he will be. The understructure is made from a Dummy Pepakura Helmet file traced on to soft craft foam. This keeps the head flexible and light weight. Hot...

Could you link to the "rosone paint" I can't find a tinting that works properly and I have tried Window Tints and Spray tints but nothing is working. There is no visibility in the pieces. My next step is to buy some tinted domes used with security cameras unless I can find a paint...

Okay here is where I am at right now. Sorry if you can't see the photo above, I have it in a private gallery on Facebook so my wife can't see it until Christmas. I found the pattern on line for historic carpet bags. I originally intended to make this bag out of actual carpet like the original...

I have though about this and it is possible to recreate the carpet with latch hook and then trimming the tassels short then combining it out to create the fluffy look.

Okay please forgive the bump of an old thread which is probably long since dead. But with the release of the "Saving Mr. Banks" there may be some popularity or interest that might surface and here is some information I have discovered in the process of researching making my own carpet bag...

I slushed in some Long Hair Bondo (bondo mixed with fiberglass strands [they make long and short hair versions]) and Fiberglass resin. Rondo Glass? I don't ever seal my Peps with resin because the tape renforces it enough to hold the shape while I slush the rondo inside. Tape also...
