And the culmination off my Journey:
Meeting Sam Witwer at CEIII and giving him my signed trading card ans having him ask me for a picture!
-
ok. so the picture has been taken.
Will it be posted here?

What I did, was screw them on.
I drilled a hole (a little smaller then the screw) in the back of the clip. For the ornamental clips (where you would never hang a saber on, you can drill just a small hole. enough for the screw to just fit in 2-3 mm. this will be enoug to keep them in place. add a bit of glue, just to be sure.
For the utilised clibs, where you do want to hang a saber on, you actually need to drill all the way true. you will need to blacken the tip of the screw eventually, to obscure it a bit.
add some larger rivets, to prevent the screw to tear out the leather if you hang a saber on it.
Please do not forget to wheather both the belt as the clips. it will make your outfit that much more realistic. 'brand new' is not a word known to the Starwars universe.

I really like the way the 'melted' gaps above the elbow turned out to be.

And now for the most scary thing: ripping up my costume.
I was terrified by it. litteraly: what has been done, cannot be undone.
I am not completely satisfied, but well... what has been done, cannot be undone.
So deal with it! :-/

ok. few updates:
first test fit of the tunic and pants.
better then I expected. the upper tights could be a bit wider. also... I really need to install a zipper, because rough denim is not elastic at all! (what was I thinking!)
also, the lower arms need to be wider. I was hardly able to put my hands through. but then again, In the end I will cut them off for the most part anyway. still the right arm will remain intact underneath the gauntlet.
I did some sanding on my armor. after two layers of paint, it already looks so much better. my spraypaint container was empty, so I did not put on the final layer yet.
