The command uniform was from 2012, the engineering uniform was from 2013. Both have been sold. (Here is the tutorial of how I made mine.) The ENT undershirt was finally completed in 2017. A new jumpsuit is currently in the works. I am making this one from Alex's amazing pattern and tutorial...

Thanks, that's very kind of you. I never met him in person. Wish I had.

Thank you. I bought the face plate on etsy. I painted it and added the whiskers though. I have been making the patterns and sewing the fabric components of the armor myself. The chainmail arms are fabric prints from spoonflower. Decided to go light weight as this is just a costume.

Thank you, Tony's site has been very helpful to me in this build. I am so very thankful that he was so willing and able to share his knowledge with the world through his website and in his published books. May he rest in peace.

Sorry, had a stomach bug for a few days. I was able to finish the Haidate. I also finished the right and left Kote and the Manchira Vest. All that's left is a little finish work on the inside of the menpo (face armor), complete the waraji (sandals), and make the suneate (lower leg armor).

Thanks Funboy1013xx. I got half the haidate plates attached last night. It took three episodes of Downton to get them on there. Talk about tedious! I hope to finish it up tonight then maybe a test fit (with pictures). I'm thinking I will probably move on to the kotes (arms) and manchira...

Got some work one on the mempo. I have some cleanup to do on the back to make it more comfortable to wear, and I think I am going to put a screen in to cover the mouth opening on the inside, but otherwise, it's done.

Making some progress. The haidate are all down up. Need to add the plates. The mempo is almost done. Will post pics soon.

Agreed, what a cool build and what wonderful workmanship.

Sorry, the only prize is the knowledge of coming in first among equals.

Ding ding ding, you are the winner.

All the haidate plates have been laced. I need to trim the laces, but otherwise they are ready for the fabric part, which I hope to get started on in the next couple of days.

Started lacing together the Haidate plate rows last night. I have a few days off in a row next week, hope to knock these out and start on what ever is next in this project.

Finally back at it again. I am currently working on the haidate, or thigh armor.

Anyone recognize this?
