Endor trooper

[Obi Anne]

So I'm continuing my thread from the main forum here.

I needed to give myself a kick in the back to finally finish this project. My goal is to have it done this week, or at least before next weekend.

Today I've cut the donut so it will fit me. I also had to seriously alter the soft cap. I could wear the soft cap with my full Leia hairdo in it, but then I couldn't fit the donut over it, so I've made the soft cap a lot smaller, but the alterations are hidden under the ribbed top piece.

The top


I'm going to put a layer of green paint over the white cut marks, and I need to find a buckle to the chin strap (and cut off the loose threads) but then I'm hopefully done.

I've also painted my blaster.

Basically I have everything I need to finish it, it's just that all things are in a half-finished state.

while I must admit that the endor trooper isn't one of the costumes I know most about, I do think it looks good

I got it finished today, and I felt a bit impatient so I sent in the application before I got any feedback in the trooper forum. The only thing I'm a bit worried about is that there is a bit of colour difference between the jacket and the trousers, since it's different fibers the tan dye simply didn't give the same result.

Here is my shopping list for the costume.

Hard helmet - (Frax bought and assembles this, so can't really give more details)
Soft helmet - self made out of fabric from IKEA and leather from an old leather jacket
Sand coloured long sleeve t-shirt - ebay
M40 snow jacket - Frax bought this one as well. Tan dye for the jacket
BDU trousers - ebay
Camo paint - military surplus store Röda Stjärnan (colours were DDR Green, Pale Green and Olive Drab)
Gaiters - self made. Same fabric as the soft helmet.
DH-17 gun - nerf blaster from ebay, painted with hobby paints
Gloves - working gloves from ebay. I have small hands so it was impossible for me to find small enough gloves in the shops around here.
Belt - ebay
Pockets - self made with green fabric that I found
canvas back pack - a czech model I found on ebay.co.uk
Boots - Palladium scout commando boots from the Swedish webstore Brandos.
