Mara Jade from Michigan (Done)

[Mira_Darkstar]

Okay, I am getting so close I can taste it. Gun is now painted black with the silver.

 

Holster is done, I completed dying it, putting a liner in and stitching.

 

Also we were able to complete the mock-up of the body suit.

 

And cut out and chalked the final fabric, forgot pictures of the chalked lines.

 

Also added a second coat of paint to the shinguards and will add a third coat tomorrow after sanding some imperfections out again. Then all that is left is to add a clear coat to the shinguards, close them up somehow and finish the final bodysuit.

Well I thought I would be done today but ran into a few setbacks unfortunately. *sighs*

 

So for my shinguards and knee pads I have been gluing very diligently, and with the elastic for the shinguards I did not leave a big enough gap so had to rip them apart and re-glue. For the front Velcro/shim closure I am not sure I like how it looks at the moment but will troop in them first to decide if I need to rework that part.

 

For the bodysuit we started on the real fabric and the paneling looks fantastic, however when trying it on we found it a little snug. I.E. it will not close in the back, so when I bring the leftover fabric back my mom will add a 1 inch strip to both sides of the suit. So that makes me very sad.

 

So next target for finishing will be January.

Well I have now finished this costume and have submitted it for 501st and Rebel Legion approval. Here are some final pictures taken at the Port Huron Fighting Falcons game:
