[Darth Father]

very nice work! I did the same think 2 years ago can't wait to see more progress.

I have a lot of files with pepakura files but that's about it. So while researching I found that the dented helmet has everything, I mean obviously they would. But I found templates for everything. There all in PDF files and they even have armor measurements buy height, so they even have my son's height 4'1". This will make it a lot easier to do the build. So excited.

If you could pm me a link to the exact thread about armour by height I would be forever in your debt.
I'm currently building a helmet for my son but I know where this leads as it happened when I built himhim an iron man helmet. He will want the whole suit made. :/

Had to go to 3 differnt fabric stores, but I finally found the right color to match the ROTJ color, sorry...The photos don't do it justice...It's spot on though...

Change of plans, the costume will not be done for Halloween...My son has told me he wants me to take my time on the costume so it looks good for the premier of Star Wars Episode 7...Rather then rushing to have it ready for Halloween and it look ok...

 

[Helpful Nerd]

This is coming together awesome-ly.

What is the yarn for? Is that for Wookie braids?

 

[MatrixSpoon]

The yarn is for the girth belt...

FYI to everyone, updates are going to slow down a little bit on this feed, since my son has told me he wants the costume to look good for the Star Wars Episode 7 premier rather be done in time for Halloween, so I'm going to start working on the Jango Fett costume to get it up to the same status of this one so I can complete at the same time...I will update as I build, thanks for your understanding...
