I am still working on the flak vest...I found that I did not like the results that the foam gives on those channels in the flak vest...they lose their edge when sewing in...so I went to Home Depot and found some pine molding that is 1/4" x 3/4" and used that instead...I think it works much better than the foam and keeps a crisp edge..
I will probably remove the foam from the inner panel and replace with the molding..and still figuring out some other stuff...but there are less pins...lol..
I do have the proper boots and gloves...and just got the belt and the trim for the arms and the collar...
The reality is that had this X-Wing Pilot costume been on display at Celebration Anaheim I am sure that everyone would be a lot farther along...and a lot more certain of things...as it is...we had to wait for some decent images to come out...and still there are a lot of questions..
like..
what color is it really?
Anyway....I would love to get this done by the premier...but have to be realistic on how much time I have...and one big stumbling block is the flightsuit....starting from scratch will take forever...
Where I would LOVE to get 2 of these:
they do not ship to the USA....
neither do the folks who have the proper hoses....
IF there is someone from the UK who would be willing to act as intermediary for me...I can paypal them the money for the items and shipping to the US...
Please pm me if anyone is willing...
