Re: Gamorrean Guard WIP
Added some more spit today (Shoe Goo) It's all dry. Tommorrow is the big day. I have some hidden zippers to install on the sides of the vest for closure. I've never done zippers before. Also time for a final fitting. Pictures to follow, hopefully tommorrow night, if I finish.

Not a lot to report, I'm in the home stretch. I'm taking care of some overal look and fitting issues. Mainly the shoulder armor and vest.
I remade the padding for the inside of the shoulder armor when I initially got the suit. In the end, it sat too far off of the shoulder and had a tendency the roll forward or rearward and didn't sit properly in relation to the vest. I also used 1.5" elastic at the bottom, knowing it should be leather. CHANGED ALL THAT. cut a circle out of the padding so it sits closer to the arm and stays in place over the shoulder. Attached a leather bottom strap with snap adjustments. 1 shoulder strap on top is accurate, however I need to balance the "look" and the need to have everything stay in place when trooping at conventions, so I opted for 2 anchor points, also leather/snaps. Shoulders anchor under the vest and keeps the correct spacing even when the vest moves.
AFTER: (not pretty, but not visible)
Vest anchor points
SIDE BY SIDE: Before on left after on right, Shoulders adjusted, vest shortened, more chest padding trimmed off.

I can't take credit for the green parts or the hairy diaper. The maker in the UK made those and did the primary painting on the latex. I just tweaked the suit for accuracy, remade some parts and the strapping system, weathered it accordingly, and made some fit adjustments. I got invited to troop and the ReGrand Opening of Racho ObiWan in Peteluma with a couple of the GoldenGate Garrison folks. Also got a picture with and spoke to Don Post or awhile.

It is Luke's kit with several modifications. These are older pics. I've done a complete repaint this these were taken. Thread should be in here somewhere.
