I've got almost everything purchased

Now just comes assembly.

I've got the armor in hand now, and I've started putting it together. Thankfully it came mostly finished, including the slots for the straps. I only need to get a riveter (or whatever you call them) to do most of the rest of the finishing, and finish the straps. I got distracted by my Jocasta Nu costume though, else it'd be mostly done.

So here's the status on all:

Helmet - Same, I still need to tear it down and rework all the pieces before I put it back together.
Gloves - I need to remove the lining and remake new lining, although I'm still thinking I might keep the gloves as is.
Flightsuit -Received! It's awesome. I need to get suade for the legs, and remove a pocket or two, and then that's set.
Armor - Assembly in progress!
Cumberbund - Nothing yet, I'll probably do that last.
Boots - Still figuring out how I'm going to do them, I have ideas.
Gun - Received from Polymer Armory - it's AWESOME.

arrivals

Both the Hemlet and the gloves have arrived, yay! :)

I've learned a lot about what I've got in store for me with the helmet thanks to bikerscout.net - a great messageboard for all things biker scout btw. Even though to me at first quick glance the helmet was -great-, there's a lot of minor, but important mods that need to be done to it to make it both wearable and accurate. Nothing I can't handle. I hope :) Either way it doesn't matter - for the price, you can't beat this helmet.

The gloves are perfect - pretty damn close to the movie too. I highly recommend.

Next will be the flight suit and the blaster - The flight suit I'm going to get from Ted's Military Surplus, and the blaster will be a resin replica from Polymer Armory that I'll need to do the finishing work on.

In the meantime (and inbetween work on my Jocasta Nu costume) I'll probably do some work on the Cumberbund, aka the Imperial Diaper as I've heard it called ;) There's a lot of vendors out there that do good work for low prices, but I'd like to make it, since I can sew. :P

That's it for now. The studiocreations site is a godsend for this project too.
