  1. Kalani directed me to the WampaWear White ISB Tunic.  I simply love it!  High quality suiting material in good weight.  Easily my best Imperial tunic so far.  Won't look "frumpy" like the thinner tunics.  You get what you pay for.  IMHO Thrawn (as seen on Ahsoka) should have gone to WW!  His uniform is looking a bit worse for the wear. 

  2. Thanks, all.  I'm most proud of the helmet.  You buy a blank felt base & good luck thereafter.  I have many original c.1881 parts on it (plume, plume pin, plume base, eagle, regimental number, cavalry side buttons [though I added correctly shaped officer hooks for the chin chain] and shield for storing the chin chain when not in wear)  The other items cost a fortune for originals.

  3. I'm right there with you.  I have a custom pair from Hessen, and I guess the Spaniards have narrow feet.  I use a boot stretcher for 2 days before a trooping--that helps does not fix it 100% and the right boot pinches my foot terribly.   I have a pair of their dress jackboots, ordered 1/2 size large, and they fit just fine.  I may re-order from them, but with their stock riding boots--wont' do custom again.   They also seem to "age" quickly even though I store them with forms inside.

  4. GML wants an "action pose" for my Line Officer submission (assuming he didn't like the one I already sent).  I see some photos aiming a blaster, but I don't presently have one--have a HFX DH-17 on the way, but really don't want to wait until I get it.  Been looking through cleared Imperator and Executor photos.  Any Ideas?

  5. 3Xmx8kW.jpgFor the belt, satin finish or high-gloss?   Just finished 4 belts with Tandy  "Stain Sheen."   Looks right to me, but wanted to check.  First time was a fail--easy to streak--leave glossy streaks.  Used Acetone and did a do-over, re-dyed and was careful to not leave any finish "sitting" on the leather to make a glossy spot.
