    I Think These Boots Could Work

    Maybe?  I think the panel on front is a little too stylish.  Same with the one by the heel.

    Have you thought about using plain black Chelsea boots (like what Stormtroopers wear but black) and making "shin armor" akin to what Agent Kallus wears?

    That wouldn't pass the CRL right now, but if you look at Rebels closely you will see that the "boots" the officers wear aren't quite what we call riding boots.

    If someone were to make a pair like the Kallus boots but all black, they could then in theory, submit them for a CRL change.

    It's been talked about already.  I plan to use those when I finally get my Konstantine uniform moving again.

    Just an idea.

     

     

    And quite a good idea.

    I'll consider one of them yours. One set I mean.

    She only wore two right?

     

     

    Hey, I've decided that my first costume is going to be a Jawa and Governor Pryce will be my second build.  I'm not going into my second build immediately.  So if there is someone close to finishing their GP costume and they have a more immediate need for those cylinders, I'd rather that person bought them from you.  :)

    Be forwarned that CosplaySky can produce some fantastic costumes at truly unbelievable prices, but they also can be VERY hit-and-miss with sizing... sometimes dramatically so.  It has definitely happened that even when provided with lots of custom measurements the uniforms they send are WAY WAY off those measurements. (Many stories of this all over the forum)  They've been good about replacements, but it's more delay, for sure.  As long as you're comfortable with what could turn out to be a drawn out timeline (sometimes 2-3 tries to get it right), even with the back-and-forth (and even costs for professional tailor alterations), you still come in far far cheaper than pretty much any source out there.  So I still think they're worth giving a shot, as long as you're not in a big hurry.  Just a tip to help manage expectations and reduce frustration.  And hey, if they happen to nail it on the first go, all the better! :D

     

    So if they do a replacement for a big mess up, do you have to mail the original back to them?  That can start getting costly.

    " Doctor Who, Marvel, Star Trek, and Star Wars items are not eligible to ship outside of the United States or Canada"?! :?

    By the way, I think I would not have recognised you - your versatility is impressive!

     

    Just have a friend in the US buy it for you and have them mail it to you.  :-D

    That is correct, she only wore two. 

     

    I'm using my phone right now and even though I cropped the picture from the CRL, the resolution on the screenshot is too high, even with each code cylinder cropped into its own photo.  Here's the link to the photos:  http://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:ID_Governor_Arihnda_Pryce

    Funny you should ask. :)

    I turned 8 of them on the lathe on Sunday.  Four of them are earmarked for my own use, which leaves two sets of two for Pryce uniforms.

    I've been busy the last few weekends, but expect to get the clips done soon.  I've said that since Celebration, but keep getting busy.  Trooped last weekend, and have two troops this Saturday too.  Then Mother's Day.  Have to clean the garage.  Then get my project car back.  Need to put a new roof on the garage that needs cleaning before the project car can go in it.  Finish remodeling the upstairs bathroom.  New front stairs from when I crashed through them and broke my wrist in December.  Build back stairs for the new door we put in when we remodeled the kitchen last year.

    I have way too many projects!

    But the Rebels code cylinders are coming along, I promise.  Hopefully a week from this weekend?  They're gonna be sweet!

     

    I'd like to reserve one of those Governor Pryce sets, please!
