Hi all Just thought I would provide a wee update as it has been a long journey, but I am now official and approved as a 501st member! Yay! Still working with my makeup as it is the most difficult part to get right every time but got some great tips from local Body FX tutors and members to keep this improving with each application So pleased to finally be approved and an actual member as I love what we do for our charities. I have posted a couple of pics from recent troops for your perusal and look forward to my next build and more charity work throughout 2013!

Fabulous feedback - ladies! This gives me plenty to work with and a fellow member here in NZ also uses an alcohol based makeup so I will pick her brain as well. Definately all do-able as the fabrics I used are easily manipulated and I also know a local welder who can help me with the buckle! Will re-post once I have some updated photos for you.

Hi all I have submitted my AOTC Concept costume for approval and need to make some changes for final approval. Hoping I can get some tips/advice on how to alter some bits. http://www.mediafire.com/view/?20gfoo0y13un5ff My buckle is too small - does anyone know the dimensions I should be looking at? Similarly the grey stripes on my shirt are too wide and I'm wondering how skinny/wide they should be. http://www.mediafire.com/view/?vl7faoiawx44ocz The other issue is my collar being attached to the shirt - currently I have some snap domes that are hidden to attach the two together - does anyone have any ideas on how I can do this differently without the fixtures being visible? This one is a bit difficult for a first time costumer and very amateur sewer to fathom I am getting better at the makeup but any tips for ease of application would be greatly appreciated too! Very keen to get approved so all feedback is welcome
