Kim is my wife

awww! i want an omelet!

the real question is can i make my deadline?

body suit ordered. got the cheepy vinyl. i know, i know. its hot. so is that cursed flight suit. in the mean time i will save for the nice leather one from LA. that and the boots were a sacrifice to get vader done in time.

also ordered a set of SH gloves. pricey, but told they are worth it.

need cape, robe, chest box, cod and belt.

almost there....

As we discussed on the phone, I will probably have you covered on the cape, robe, chest box and cod piece. We just need to get together and make sure the pieces fit you good enough.

I was married to a woman named Kim... for over 12 years, she never made me an omelette. So what's the secret??

Now I'm married to a Tiaffany... she don't make omelettes either. hmm...

Can't wait to see the finished suit !

thanks guys. shot you a pm chris. i may drop you a line sunday. well..... holidays messed up my arrival times for stuff i ordered and i hate that (and the one package is cogs to go on my new TI lid). oh well. progress report when more goodies arrive!

done! i hope. now the pieces need to arrive. just ordered my belt... whew. never thought id get it all tracked down. does any one know a good source for ANH belt knobs? radioshack?

here is my plan for sound:
speakers in belt boxes for talking. im thinking of useing a cd with vaders breathing in a portable player. (to cheep to buy an i-pod right now). and stick speakers under the robe for breathing?

any thoughts?

I would recommend going with an MP3 player. You can get cheap MP3 players on Ebay and local stores for $20-30. The CD player is big and will probably skip on you when you walk.

thanks chris. i was unaware you could pick one up that cheeply!

definitely get a cheap mp-3 player, forget about he cd. i put speakers under the inner robe, i think that is the standard place to hide them.

yea. im doing that for breathing, but was gonna run a second sound system. im gonna experiment when the time comes.

and ill look into the mp3.

and to answer your question andy, i found the files i was looking for!

your almost ready to order us around

radio shack has a well made amplified speaker, just a little thick. there was some Korean or Chinese made ampl. speaker with boom mike for sale on the legion boards at one time.

i know the one your talking about. i found them on ebay. 50 bucks or so. 2 inputs, both can work without overriding the other. its worth a try.

boots are here! well, you get what you pay for. these are definitly costume boots. very flimsy, but i think they will last untill march! pics soon

here we go!

gloves- here!
boots-here
shins- glass set from fellow 70th vader





picked up a belt on evil bay- used porty. says its ANH, knobs look wrong to me. pics when its here.
