ThayNerd[TK] Posted February 11, 2010 Report Posted February 11, 2010 That's just great! Did you have any issues with the points noted by pandatrooper? Did you have to do a lot of work on the mannequin for a nice fit? Nope I didn't have any issues with it; the mannequin is flexible which makes it a lot easier to put the armor on it. Quote
MiDri Posted February 12, 2010 Report Posted February 12, 2010 I just went to Lowe's and priced out the PVC and joints needed to make a mannequin , comes to around 100$ for a well jointed one you can pose. Few hours to put together... not a bad deal. Quote

LJJNL Posted February 12, 2010 Author Report Posted February 12, 2010 Sweet, I found this 'mannequin mega-store' with movable mannequins starting at $70, just outside my hometown. thumbs-up-icon here Quote

I've read your topic, now there's a display! Nice! Once mine is up, I'll have to check for some nice base modifications like that Quote
LJJNL Posted February 14, 2010 Author Report Posted February 14, 2010 (edited) After a long research weekend I finally made up my mind: My first armor is going to be a TM kit I'm on _the list_ for the kit and the wait starts today I'm really exited about all this! ------------ Regards, Lennaert Edited February 24, 2022 by gmrhodes13 link not working removed Quote
LJJNL Posted February 25, 2010 Author Report Posted February 25, 2010 (edited) I'm a few items closer to the complete costume, and since I'm waiting for the other items I have way to much time to kill. So here's my 'parts' list visualized ---------- Edited February 24, 2022 by gmrhodes13 link not working removed Quote
ObiHahn[TK] Posted February 26, 2010 Report Posted February 26, 2010 I'd say if you want the most accurate display, go for black rubber gloves instead of Nomex ones. Nomex will be ideal for trooping, but they used rubber household gloves in ANH. And to top them off, glue flexible latex handguards on them. Quote

True, but I think the rubber gloves might look a little 'cheapish' (not to offend anybody ofc!) on the display. I'll have to see what looks best Quote
