So, it's basically two pairs. One with a zipper on the side, which has its soles cut off, and is then glued onto the second pair, and some spats on top of that. Great, thank you very much, Broadsword!

I took a break from sewing on the frag vest and spent some time on one of the transponder badges seen on the vest.
I also started the badge for the jacket.
I think a trip to Hobby Lobby is in order to scout for more geeblies for the jacket badge. I keep looking at the missing two and the bottom one looks like the cover to a cold air return vent for a scale model, like a doll house. The top one is either a muffler or the checked handle of a hobby knife.

Those are looking good. I was thinking that snap anvil would make a great greeblie too! Good work.
Here's my boot progress. I went with velcro closures for now on the cuffs until we can figure out if there is any kind of buckle (which I think there is).
Maybe a little OT but I'm currently trying to dye a pair of Helikon combat pants for my generic trooper build but predictably, the stitching did not dye (being most likely 100% polyesters). Can anyone recommend a way of remedying this problem or recommending a different type of dye (that I can get in the UK preferably)
many thanks!
many thanks!
You can use RIT Dye More or Jacquard iDye Poly. They both work on polyester but must be done on the stovetop with boiling water. It might not work 100% but it is worth a try. I used it on my frag vest and it only slightly changed the color of the thread and did nothing to the webbing material.

Most of the outfits have contrasting stitching so I'd just leave it to be "in universe".

Update on the puff paint.
Doesn't work so the next step will be learning silk screening.

Rats! I was going to try the puff paint option too. What type of material were you painting onto?

I believe it's cotton twill or drill.
Just some scrap I had around.
I used yellow on green fabric and it took 4 coats brushing it on.
I also had to cut through the paint to get my masking off (accidentally cut through the fabric a few times) :facepalm

Oh, that is good to know about the stitching ! Thanks 
My French Three Grenade Pouch arrived! Is is, most definitely, in used/issued condition!:lol It should fit right in once everything is weathered.
The comm/transponders are multiplying! I had just a bit of onyx to use up so I figured I would get a few copies out.

Looks good! Yeah, I am going to paint and weather the transponder lot and then put a few up for sale. I am still working on the one for the Andor jacket. I might have one done this weekend. I found some good possible greeblies this week.

Here's that paint test sample.
I made a dice bag for my niece for her SW RPG gaming. :cool
It also gave me a chance to work out making the sleeve parts of the jacket.

The dice bag looks great! I think I might try the puff paint freehand (Like the Spider-Man puff paint lines) and see if the lack of masking makes it any better. I just hope I can keep a steady hand.
