Tusken rising

Post by Zazarus »

Hello, some of you all I've met and some have heard of me. I have almost all the parts for a new tusken raider (I'm awaiting the last parts this week). Been on the kraytclan forum since they just recently ratified new standards I've been complying to the new rules and I'm hoping to have the costume done by christmas (the very last dead line will be Feb). I'll post pictures of the costume as it comes together.

I look forward to seeing your progress pictures. We don't have an approved tusken costume in the 70th Explorers yet, so you may very well be the first. :tusken:

I was always wondering when we were ever going to get any Tuskens in the garrison. Way to go, bro. Hopefully we'll troop together real soon.

Yeah, there has always been something I liked about the tuskens, I'll be doing more of a Prequel Tusken rather than OT. The bandaliers/belt is almost completely done, the rifle needs the paint job (and I'll be doing a gaffi stick and the rifle so I have my choice). The last part I'm waiting for is the machined aluminum to do the helmet, I really can't start much on the helmet until I have those parts other than attaching the mask to the helmet back. And right now my seemstress (wife) and I are figuring out the best way to sew the monks cloth so I don't have to worry about it unravelling.

How are you doing the mask? I to am doing a Tusken . I have all the parts and now I just have to start the assembly process. I am using a SC headshell and am still looking for the best way to mount it. I will probably go with a bike helmet so I have room for fans. :)

Yeah, I've seen you on the krayt clan forum. I'm doing the bike (kinda looks like the skateboard helmet). The width of the SC mask of mine fits perfectly around the the helmet and then I'm going to bolt it down with bolts and glue to hold it and go from there.

I guess we should change the thread to tuskens rising. As many of you know do to an issue with a seller on ebay Dave ended up with two tusken head shells. One studio creations based and one godzilla kit. I would love to have multiple costumes to wear at cons so I have agreed to purchase the studio creations head shell. I should have it completed before visioncon. Here is the progress so far.

yeah, it made sense because we've been working on my for so long and now we're doing two at the same time. And two are better than one for trooping.
