I had been watching the ESB Solo 4yr old thread by At-At Luvah and added a post there, but figured I'd start my own topic, now that I'm about 98% complete.
I'm actually doing ANH solo for my 3 yr old this year for Halloween which is odd, because he's been talking clone trooper since Clone Wars.
I went thrifty shopping last weekend and bought a few things. Modded them up Monday night.
Here's what I ended up getting:
1- Button up long sleeve t-shirt for $1.29.
I modified it, by cutting the collar in half, folding it in and sewing it shorter. Then I cut the cuffs off and sewed the ends of the sleeves flat. I used the extra material from the cuffs to cover the button holes near the top of the shirt and overlapped the shirt a bit to cover the rest and create the "open" (hairy chest) look. :lol
1- blue pair pants. I just cut slits on side of the legs and did the red ribbon thing by inner weaving it. The part that sucked, is near the top you get part of the pocket showing that is white. Had to cut that down a bit and do a little more stitching.
$1.49 pants, and $2.50 for a roll of red Ribbon
1- Old brown belt for $.99. I cut this down to fit a 3 yr old. I then punched holes in it to fit him, and some extras for the 2 hole look.
I added "part" of an old holster I had laying around to the belt with Rivots. It's a cross between the 2 hole punch belt and the gunbelt. No actual holster added yet.. as pre-school they won't allow the blaster.. so undecided if I even should add it (probably will). But had somthing there now for looks.
1- pair of black boots. They do have a slight lift and heel to them, as they are gals boots.. but for $3.99 and in toddler sz.9, I had to get them. Just noticed they were 50% off as well after looking at the receipt last night. Score.
I have Black fabric left over from my imperial officer workup, so I'm going to work on the vest next.. and then, toy with the blaster idea. Probably just do the Toy repaint..or, find the one I should have laying around somewheres..
Pants/belt/Shirt:
More of pants/Belt:
Shirt and Boots:
Modded shirt:
completed the vest last night (errr..this am at 2:45)
a bit closer shot:
back side:
Couldn't find the Blaster, so just bought a new one. repaint starts tonight. Problem is, on a 3 yr old.. it works, but it too big for a holster on the side of his leg. It would go down past his boots. So, I might make a small holster to add to the belt for looks... or might just leave it as is and let him carry around the blaster where possible.
Will post more pics when finished and he's "in gear".
