I'll be away this weekend so not much will be going on at this point.
I'm having a garage sale at my bro in laws in Fielding to raise some funds.
I might be able to work on one of my belt boxes during the day. :)

It has been a little while since posting, i'm down in Queenstown at the moment and have just got a wifi connection.
I have been informed that a nice big box has arrived for me at home, can't wait to see it.
Possibly my suit from Argentina :D :D :D
I have made a little progress with my suit, belt boxes are coming along, but I must get my act together if I am going to wear this for Oct 31st at the waitohu school fireworks gala and have lightsaber duels with the kids to be involved with :D

Yep, I expect that there will be a bit of both of those.

Look forward to seeing your Vader photos.

I had come home from holiday to find this had arrived for me.
This was all the soft parts from Argentina, cape, inner robe, three part suit, gloves and cod piece.
I just quickly put this on for an update photo of where I am at.
I quickly got a replacement belt for the chest box and have completed fitting this on the unit.
As I have said this was just a quick test fit to see what this looks like for the time being.
I have work to do on the belt boxes and another belt to get.

Nice! You must be stoked to get it all on, even if it's just a test fitting.

I think it's great, I have just had an email from the uk regarding the rom fx revo unit, hopefully it should be available by end of November providing that I have the money for it still.
Looks like i'll have to print some more money for this.
In the picture I have my old snow boots on as I can't put on the boots from fredstar (due to a Luge accident in Queenstown last week, sprained my ankle) and left a piece of my elbow up there.
Hey Hugh can you see if you can find it for me next time your up there. :lol:
