Finally got the shoulder patch attached. Now to get the cuffs back on.

Re-started the coat. I’m still going with modifying a premade coat, but this time I think I’ve made a better checklist of what to change. My only concern is getting it done in the correct order so I can get the stitching done correctly.

I found I had a pullover shirt I had that fits me about the same as the one for the costume, so I’m going to copy the dimensions for the body and the sleeve length. I’m thinking that if I increase the width of the sleeves, I can get the right volume for the shoulders. I hope to do a test version...

That’s annoying, but I’m going to check through some of my old bits to see if I can find something that works. I’ll share if I find a solution. Looking forward to seeing how the other pieces work out!

Almost done with the helmet, the hat portion needs weathering and a bit of dirtying up, but all in all I’m happy with it. Still need to tackle the shirt and coat. A bit unsure about the pattern for the shirt especially ….

Absolutely wonderful news! Looking forward to the update!!

Has there been any updates on these parts? I’ve had my camera base for a while, but I’m a bit concerned about not putting the details on correctly….

Doing okay, just had to re-start the coat build. I ran into a few errors that I need to fix

Just checking, are there patches on both biceps or just on the left side of the coat?

Much to my dismay I’ve noticed that the collar on my coat base has the wrong shape. I purchased an extra one at the same time (in case I screwed up) so I have an idea for how to fix it. Just not sure if my sewing skills are up for the task. On the bright side, I should finish the boots today...

Working on my blaster and holster. The thrift-store belt I found actually has a roller belt, but the style is a bit different from the original. Just wondering if I should bother changing it, or keep it as is….

Thanks! I got the leather from Tandy a few years ago for a project I never finished, unfortunately I don’t know the weight of it, but I might be heading back there to try to get more. If I do I’ll let you know.

Thanks everyone! I’m going to try the Barge cement and see how it goes!

Hello everyone! I’ve had a reoccurring problem with my builds. A few years ago I had purchased rubber boot straps for my Mudtrooper costume, and I attempted to use self-adhesive Velcro to attach them to the boots. They worked well for a few days, but then the adhesive turned slimy and the straps...

Looks great! I’m going a similar route with my build. I’m about halfway done with mine
