Here is the finished product.
I made too many mistakes and tried to be fancy with the power tool.
It has a good feel and weight to it but on inspection too many bumps and uneven places on the gun.
I am just going to leave it as it is for now.
Will need to make some power cells and flexible cord next weekend.

Peace is a lie, there is only passion.
Through passion, I gain strength.
Through strength, I gain power.
Through power, I gain victory.
Through victory, my chains are broken.
The Force shall free me.

Hi the book gives only a brief overview on the costumes.badges2nz wrote:I see in the back ground of one of your pics you have the book of Star wars costumes, what is that one like?
I was expecting more on the detailing.
Bought it for two projects , My armour and also Yoda cloak.
Not enough details in there to accomplish either.

Nice work on your blaster by the way.

- This is the most time consuming piece. This has to be modded by hand and I spent hours modding this to fit.

looking good man. The helmet is the hard part of the armour so it'll be all down hill when you've finished that!

Nice. The shape on those teeth take a lot of time to get all squared off, but yours in particular look good.

The armour is an oota goota original. The best there is in NZ. Highly recommended.joshsurf wrote:Good work! Who made your bucket? It's pretty nice! And are those rubies blasters? Pis there someone in NZ selling them?
The Rubies blaster, I bought from Amazon. I have imported 3 pieces to work with. PM me if you are after one.
