RKW - Lovely suit well done. Where did you get the belt material from buddy?

Thanks.

The belt material is TKO knee wrap (all white) which I ordered online from http://www.fitness-superstore.co.uk. The product code is TKAC103E but I haven't seen it on their site lately. They seem so have one with a red stripe running through the middle instead but you could always enquire if you live in the UK.

Nice costumes, guys :thumbsup

Obviously I love the ROTJ stormtrooper, but as far as ANH vs. ESB I always preferred the ESB look....

Always thought the grey mouth with 'black' holes on the ANH helmet looked a bit 'fussy'... prefer the all-black mouth on the ESB

Don't forget the black vertical stripes on the grey rectangle on the ear covers, Joe.
Should be 3 stripes, but I noticed on the last 2 ESB buckets at Christies that one side has 3 stripes, and the other has only 2...

Are you going with authentic gloss white house-paint (complete with paint-runs) or are you gonna use spray-paints?

Cheers,
John

Thanks John

This is the real problem, I painted another helmet with gloss and it was really shiny but looked like @#$%..

It is difficult to decide whether to go for true accuracy or a santised spray paint job. :confused
