Okay, I am planning to attempt the swamptrooper. Due to the fact that the one modded version does not have enough reference shots, I am going to go with the SWG version, so, essentially, the green scout trooper. Not the most ambitious, but this is my first costume. Uh, anything I'm forgetting? |

Nope. Except to tell everyone that you're in my garrison's boundaries. ![]() -iz |

Oooh - I'll watch this for sure. One of my garrison mates is thinking of doing this. Will be great to see the end result when done. |

*Hijacks Thread* Hey I have a few questions about the soft armour part of this costume, I agreed to sew/mod some of them for Dart and I want to make sure I get this perfect for him ![]() The CRL says this * CUMMERBUND: dark green textile cummerbund with two standard Imperial pouches. Front of “diaper” is gray and back is a strip of black elastic. What colour dark green? Looking at the pictures I think it's an olive drab, but I'd like your guys input! The gray I think I am okay with matching, but again any suggestions would be most welcome ![]() |

That's from another thread in here. I'm not sure if that's standard procedure to figure out colors? Or if it'll even help any...more for websites. Fabric/color/anything that has to do with fashion sense is beyond me.... If I had to guess I guess olive isn't a bad guess. I would call it grey-green. ha. Im outta my league here. Sorry... And thanks again for being such an awesome person!! Couple questions. There is no boot holster I can see on any of those references ((Unless I just missed it, which is quite possible)). So...is it going to be accepted if I put one on? The posted reqs. say to but..yeah. Also, is it just me, or are the gloves a really dark green? I mean, virtually black so it wouldn't matter, but...Yeah. Another thing "Wrap over bridge of foot must be present" Is that just because its being based off the standard scout trooper? cus on the reference pics I couldn't really see one.

Yeah, I'd add one. None of the NPCs in Galaxies actually have holsters shown, but with the costume they're based off of, we can kind of fill in the blanks... Unless you've found a way to produce a weapon from thin air. The gloves are black, but the top ridges of them seem to have a bit of a dark green. I'd almost just call that weathing and not quite the actual glove. But if you wanted you could get some dark green leather dye and blend it into the top of your gloves. Yeah this is one of the details like the holster. -iz |

Okay maybe it is more of a graygreen, fabric is always tricky to figure out ![]() Worst case scenario we do a few different dye jobs until we figure we have a match.. Not thanks necessary, this is fun ![]() oh and black leather can sometimes look dark green as it weathers with use and age... it depends on the components of the black dye. Anyway it could be recreated by scuffing up the gloves pretty good and applying a dark green dye to the leather then more black. Edited by Jilly-Bean, May 7 2010, 06:37 AM.

You mean you can't do that? Edited my post above this one because I was kinda out of it when I responded (grrrr dentists).. I think it should make a little more sense now and I actually managed to address the correct person this time lol iz are there any more soft parts that need to be made? I know I am modding the jumpsuit and doing the cummerbund, but will Dart need anything else? Just if I am gonna be dying fabric, it would be better to dye it all at once for a colour match |

Okay, gloves and jumpsuit are ordered, and my thanks go to Jilly-bean once again for being so awesome. I'm looking at vinyl so I can make the boots. I have an old pair of black boots with black tread, so I assume that'll work. I have no clue where to get vinyl normally but I found this online http://www.onlinefabricstore.net/SearchResult.aspx?KeyWords=green%20vinyl&gclid=CKnC3tm-yqECFSA5gwodvgMafA The kelly green looked closest to me....anyway, any insights? |

Most likely. That one would be closest. Might want to hold out and wait until you choose the armor paint so you can match them as close as possible. -iz |
