Mystery kit in the mail!

I got a big box with armour pieces for my mystery project in the mail today!

I'll give you a little sneak peak of one of the pieces too, hehe.

Paint stencils for Boba helmet

I got paint stencils for my Boba helmet in the mail a few days ago, and they look really good! Still waiting for my helmet, though. :)

Portrait of Darth Vader, SL-7060

Inspired by Andreas in the Nordic Garrison, I wanted to paint a picture of Darth Vader. Then what's better than actually use my fiancé SL-7060 as a model? :D

We did a photo shoot in the garden (wonder what the neighbours thought, hehe) and ended up with some pretty cool pictures that we manipulated in Gimp. Then I printed the whole image to a overhead sheet and projeted the image to the canvas. When I had the image where I wanted it, I drew thin lines with a pencil and marked what areas should be white and black. I made sure all the lines were just a tad into the black area, so it would be concealed by the black paint. Then I painted with acrylic paint.

I'm pretty happy with it!

I got a Sidewinder kit for my birthday!

My birthday was friday, and I got a sidewinder kit from my boyfriend, SL/TK-7060! It is a resin kit of the Webley & Scott No.1 Mark 1 Flare Gun that Boba Fett uses. Now I have everything I need for Boba Fett! Well, at least everything is ordered and in production, I am still waiting for a huge box with armour parts from Bobamaker.

Let's see what I have:

Gun
Boots
Boot spikes
Fabric for spats, flightsuit, pouches and flak vest
Girth belt
Ammo belt
Wookiee braids
Cape
Knee armour
Body armour parts and helmet(being produced by Bobamaker, will be here in june)
Gloves (also Bobamaker)
Shin tools (Bobamaker)
Jetpack (in the mail this week)
Gauntlets (in the same box as jetpack)

Only thing I still need to buy, are the hoses for the gauntlets, as i don't think they are included on those I bought. If anyone knows where to buy those in Norway, please tell!

Here are some pics of my new baby:

Mystery pieces in the mail soon!

I've just bought a kit with the major big parts for my mystery project! It was expensive, but it's the best kit out there. Can't wait to get it, it's just sooo cool! :D

Drawings from the kids!

I attended the The Scandinavian Sci-Fi, Game and Film Convention in Malmö this weekend, and a boy came to me with this drawing! Aww, that softens a troopers heart! Thank you so much, Matteus!

Gaunlet wrist darts for Mr. Boba

I got my gauntlet darts in the mail yesterday, and they are so beautiful! They are so tiny, yet so detailed and perfect. They are made by Russrep at The Dented Helmet.

Boots for my mystery project

I found the perfect boots for my mystery project today! They are beautiful! I have been looking through every single shoe shop I've seen for two months now, and finally I found a pair that works. Huzzah!

Another exciting picture; I give you... the bag! With the boots inside. ;)

My mystery project!

Secrets are always fun, and secret projects also! I have started to make my third costume now, and this time I will keep the whole project a secret. But I will blog it, so you can follow my progress. ;)

I bought some nice gloves today, perfect for my secret project. I hereby give you...*drumrolls*...the tag!

Girth belt and dye

Slave1pilot from The Dented Helmet was kind enough to send me a girth belt from USA! They are hard to find here in Norway, especially in 100% mohair. The people on that forum are so helpful and nice. :)

The girth is 100% mohair (goat wool) and 34" long, just the right size for me. I'm so glad my hunt for this belt is over, because it is kind of embarassing to go shopping for a girth for yourself (a girth is the thing that keeps the saddle on the horse). In SW terms this is called a honorary sash, which sounds so much better. ;)

I've bought a box of dye from Spinnvilt, I hope the colour is good. We'll see in a few days when I get the time to dye it. :)
