Many thanks for the reviews
OK, here's the bio from bare leather to finished product....
The straps over and around the head, the face piece attaches to it, also the 'bowl' part goes on top. The band with the mark on it goes over all, the top has overlays on it.
the face on the head straps:
just the 'bowl' shows the ripples in back:
assembled to see how it fit before coloring and gluing:
The interior with mesh and switch for LEDs:
Colored and assembled:
Side:
Top:
Back:
More mesh:
LED lit:

TheOneAndOnly,
Thanks for the review; that bio was THE most difficult piece of the suit. All the pieces are glued... the worst one was the "halo" . I had to get it right the first time, contact cement is PERMANENT.
The mesh is that stuff they make ballerina tutus out of, (tulle), and I put four layers sandwiched between two leather pieces (seen in the "interior with mesh..."). The whole thing is velcroed to the inside of the bio so I can swap it for the same thing only with sunglass plastic in it.
I set a microswitch in a spot where all I have to do is stick my tongue between my teeth and upper lip, and push out- then it lights the LED's No visible switches!

XphobiaX,
I am glad you like it, like I said, it was the toughest, and I fitted and re-fitted and agonized over it... I guess it came out OK despite the worries
Here's some of those "small accessories":
Closeup of the belt with shuriken and pouches; there's another pouch on the other side to hold my comm... the one you see holds my money and such:
The necklace... I saw these downtown L.A. and another I GOTTA HAVE 'EM moment:
The "and such" that goes in the money pouch.... The "official" I.D. with my mug and name:
I guess the Yautja version of the DMV takes pix just as bad as ours does
My earthside ID goes in the compartment under the logo, it opens up if anybody needs to see it....

Y'all are welcome....
I was able to get the wristcomputer countdown circuit to work!
I took a video of it and need to upload it to Photobucket... its 13M!
I used regular displays not the individual LED's to check it.
EDIT:
Here's the video, its an .flv file:
Anybody have an idea of how to attach the plasmacaster to the powerpack- with something other than duck tape? The cone part has a wide tab that sticks down into the powerpack, this was taped to the inside.

Update:
I wired the LED board that has them arranged in the Yautja characters, and took a better video:
An LED is out in each, a different location... probably too much heat from the soldering iron.
They are BRIGHT! I was seeing spots for awhile after I tested it last night
