Its not perfect but its a nice inexpensive option.

Congrats!

I took a page out of Brandon's book and altered the eye color a bit. I think this is a closer match. I also made some progress on the rest of the costume. this particular one is going to a friend of mine (and many other garrison members) http://dagobahswamp.dyndns.org/public_html/members/Administrat...

to fix the flash showing through the material add dog screen underneath the eyes but above the base mask. It will deflect the light. http://a540.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/47/l_9af29a070f253ddfacc5e4bfa6d14efb.jpg These are the GO_LED eyes that Trenton and I are working on. Here is how I am d...

I walked around the house with one of the new prototypes using radioshack GO-LEDS for about an hour and I was able to function very very well. we covered the hockey masks with dog screen then used swim suit lining under that. I makes it so that camera flashes diffuse and don't show your face (or eye...

You should check out the Krayt Clan Jawa mask section. Trenton is working on a system that doesn't have wires or the bulky battery pack.

Congrats!

Personally I would like to see the film in its original version.

He (Josh) has always been very helpful when I have had questions and I consider him a friend. Besides it will take his mind off the Detachment Leader elections for a bit
