Quick update.. Suit fits great, but since I'm getting ready for DC I haven't had much time to do pics. I'll try and get some done before I leave next Thursday. I am going to try an experiment with magnets to attach the skirt to the undersuit even though SDC added the hooks to the suit itself I'm not really sure how to get the hooks onto the skirt. I suppose I could sew it to some material and then glue it to the skirt. Any ideas on what type of adhesive would work best for fabric & metal? I also have to get my gloves painted this weekend.

The joys of procrastination..

The hooks are attached in top left, top right, and center on the skirt with fabric sewn in, and clued or a sticky backing. The counter part is sewn into the suit, not the battery belt, but do what works for you.

Nice to hear your suit fits good.

No hurry about the photos. Just take them when you have the time.

Unfortunately, I'm still having problems reaching Shadow Dale.

I'm still praying that the money I've spent on it wouldn't be wasted...

Do you have any good images of the proper connecting areas from your screen used suit, Dale?

Here is a close up of the connections...

Left, center, right - of the skirt is the "where"

Update.. I finally got the skirt attached to my suit (safety pins) because my seamstress has been sick all week, and she was the one who was sewing the hooks to my cloth swatches. Any way I think this will work temporarily.



Comments welcome..

Just finishing up the gloves, painting the ankle parts I picked up from Dale, painting the laser tip I picked up from CORA. Took the chrome tape off of my KS boots and painted those so in a couple of hours I should be good to go. Then it is DragonCon HERE I COME!!

Looking good, and the love the undersuit.

Nice work, Darth Clayton!

Nice work indeed.

Please post some pics of the suit/finished costume as soon as you can...

Well everything is done and packed up except the ankle pieces. I just didn't like the way they looked when I painted them. I talked to my buddy over in Cincinnati who works for an auto body customs shop, and he said he might be able to sneak them in on their next chrome job. So I'll just have to go with my standard KS boots till I get back..

Thanks for the comments..
