SSGFC in Malmö

April 2nd-3rd we did a troop in Malmö called SSGFC, a big convention with celebrity guests.
I met both Billy Dee Williams and Richard Bonehill. :D

Aurra Sing's holster

I got some of the parts for Aurra's holster in the mail today! The buckles fit the belt really nice! The leather belts are all from H&M, though they are sadly not the same colour. I will buy some leather dye to get them the same colour, and I also need to match them to the leather I'll use for the main holster pieces.

Boushh helmet and armour progress

I have done some progress on Boushh, and hope to have the costume ready soon!

I have done most of the helmet building now, only missing the greebles and paint. The helmet was hard to build, with lots of parts not fitting at all. A lot of bondo was needed to make things look good! Still lots to do to make it look perfect!








The armour is now almost done, and has got a coat of primer. The tanks are almost done too, and I'll start work on the attachment piece soon.

Boba Fett girth belt dyeing

I have been struggelig with my Boba Fett girth belt for a long time now, but it seems like my struggle is finally over! I've been trying different ways of dyeing, but nothing has been successful. First I tried wool dye, but it turned out light red and totally transparent. Then I tried wood stain, and it turned out too dark and still transparent, and way too sticky. It also rubbed off on clothes.

Now I tried acrylic wall paint, and it looks good! I just hope it dries ok and will not rubb off in clothes.

I have some work to do on the buckles though, they will need a date with the acetone bottle. ;)

Aurra's braids

I'm currently working on Aurra's braids! I have made those seen at the pics of the costume, but might add a few more if it looks better with the rest of the hair. I have a few left of those metal beads, and tons of the other. The braids are supposed to be dark brown unlike the rest of the hair that is copper red.

Aurra Sing boots ordered!

I have just ordered boots for my Aurra Sing costume, and they should arrive very soon!
They are bought from a lovely shop called Lille Vinkel Sko, and I think they look great for a Bounty Hunter. I've had a hard time finding boots without too much details or too much feminine touch, but I believe these will do! :D

Too big snowtrooper boots!

Just for fun, I tried my hubby's snowtrooper boots. They are way too big for him, and on me they look hilarious! They look like big, dirty clown shoes, haha.
Mine is also a little too big, but they do look ok. I'm looking for a smaller size just for comfyness, though. :)

But here I give you my hubby's boots on my feet:

Aurra Sing pistols

I have cleaned up and glued together my Aurra Sing pistols, and this is what they look like before priming. I really like the look of these beauties! Can't wait to get them painted! They just got out of their final zalo bath, and they are ready for primer once they are dry.

Going TS!

Gotta have them all!

Decided to go TS (Snowtrooper) a few weeks ago, and I got the mukluks (boots) in the mail yesterday! They are used and already weathered, so I don't have to do much except from strapping on them. I have the cotton webbing for the straps, so I'll start working on them soon!

Speeder bike!

Tried a speeder bike at Celebration 5, it was really cool. Want to build one myself, but where to put it? :D

The speeder bike is made by the Belgian Garrison of the 501st Legion.
