No, not He-man!!!! :lol

Finally got all of the soft parts for my GB costume finished today with the arrival of my boots from the USA!

Have a gander and let me know what you think!

(I want to make a few tweaks to the elbow pads, add the black patch to the elastic and spray them a little darker)

Well only time will tell if the third movie will ever get made from what I understand the screenplay has been rewritten .
Hope they do keep the costumes the same .

Looks great!

Two questions; what dye dd you use for the elbow pads? And how'd you attach your name tag? I got two custom name tags; one's my online handle like yourself, and the other is my actual surname. I was considering using velcro for quick swap outs.

Be seeing you,

Hey Magnus,

I didn't "dye" the elbow pads, I actually stretched them out on two pieces of wood (with a "chock" between them to stretch out the elastic parts) then gave them a couple of light sprays of grey primer paint from a can. I was a bit sceptical about doing this but it worked great!

And yeah, velcro is your friend, it's exactly what I used. The flight suit already had one half of the velcro on it so I bought a length of black the same width as the patch, stitched it on and now I can swap them whenever I want!

Thanks for everybody's comments, the positive feedback means a lot coming from the RPF members!

Very nice! I have a Nomex suit and the white belt, but need everything else. Where did you get the elbow pads, key fobs and what type of boots?

The belt isnt white, it's Khaki.

The elbow pads are TCS Century Judo knee-pads cut down and sprayed grey (the material doesn't dye very well, which is why I sprayed them)

The key-fobs were tricky, nowhere was offering them as "screen accurate" as I wanted so I decided to make my own, but the only way to do it was to buy loads more than I needed so I sold the rest on here and on GBFans. Here's the link, but sadly they are all sold out now and I dont plan on making any more!

The boots are Condor side zipper paratrooper boots from copshoes.com (ref 902)

I just got my name patch and no ghost patch and will get them sewn on tomorrow. I am also painting my elbow pads.

I would show my kit, but I have trouble posting pics.

Anyway, Cheex, your suit looks good.

Cheers

Sebastian
