I can already start to smell the speeder bike exhaust.

Post by TK2774 »

All I got left to do really is the cumberbun and boots. Then up for approval. So excited. I tried it on the other day and I am going to really like it. I think it will be one of my more favorite outfits.

For the most part I am finished except for the hook decal. It will be added shortly. Take a look.

Uh oh, we need to build more bikes!!!

Nice looking gear you have there. Is that the Moncal pieces? I get the makers confused on the biker scout gear.

It is a cal piece. Took about 3 or more months to get the actual armor, but well worth the wait.

Why would it need to be arrow proof? I don't know that many people running around with bows (but there are 1 or 2). :lol: Bullet proof would be much more effective than that. :twisted:

You see, that one time on Endor a bunch of short furry things with rocks and arrows and hang gliders and logs took out an entire legion of scout troopers... I was in a movie I saw once, can't remember the name now... :)


I guess I should ammo up, start stockpiling rocks...

I did hear the unconfirmed rumours about Endor, but I really do recall what happened on Tantive IV. lol

Take some string and use the tacs to tac it down near the sole as this will help keep the material from bunching up and rippling at the bottom. I learned that nice little trick when making some Captain Jack boots. It's looking great! :D

Take a look. I like it a lot. That cumberbun was some work, but I actually think I might start making more of them for some people. Just an idea I am beating around in my head. Once the patterns are layed out the the peices really come together after that. I really think I am going to like this outfit. It's tough looking, flexible, and really confortable to wear. This and my TK are among my top favs.
