R2D2 Fett's Blog

This is just to post updates on my various projects, like my full sized R2D2, my Han Solo in carbonite, my Boba Fett, Yoda, C3PO......AND the finishing of our basement (and home theater)or anything else that I might think is interesting enough to post.

Obi Wan

Well this was a quick one...

I saw an ad for the brown robe so I grabbed it. I have to say I loved wearing it! It was so comfortable to watch movies in my cold basement. Oh well, back to blankets and heaters.

The inner tunic/robe is my old Aikedo gi slighty dyed beige, and the lower robe is just a $4 sheet I found at wal mart. COlor mathes the gi very well! The larger belt is from the same sheet. The other belt is just from a thrift store (as are the brown boots). Nothing super accurate but I added a buckle and another detail to the belt from seom reference images.

The mannequin is a cheap $25 ebay inflatable mannequin with no arms or head. I made arms out of foam noodles kids play with in swimming pools. I shaped and cut them a bit and added coat hangers to help them hold the shape.

The head..well thats just a photo I printed full size and glued to cardboard. Yup..cheesy I know but I casting of a sculpt is just not in the budget right now.


The first pic is with a flash. Lights up the face, although I prefer it in the dark a bit.



This pic is without a flash. I tried to hold still!

Hi Buddy! I agree with Calvin it Look excellent and there plenty of room at my new place ;)

Sorry for being a little quiet these past few weeks but with a Model Expo, wedding and moving at the same time it was tough and pleasurable at the same time. But Now I'm back and my secret project is just beginning ;)
