Shopping list help (long post warning)

Post by Skyzer »

Okay so I am getting ready to start my ROTS guard and I'm in the process of getting my shopping list together. Also this is my first build so if anyone has any suggestions or tips feel free to jump in.

The main item I'm having an issue finding is the red suede boots, I really like the IB Guardian boots but I wear a size us 13 and they don't do custom sizes. Now that being said I have seen some of the ankle boots but I'd rather have the taller boot. Worst case scenario I will settle for the optional black boot but only if I can't find a place to get the red suede. https://www.imperialboots.com/product/red-guard-boots/

I plan on getting the bucket from Lukannon Armory on FB.

The gloves will be the IB Guardian gloves.

I have the burgundy Gabardine from the Online Fabric Store in the mail for the inner robes.

I'm waiting on the crimson velvet until I get the bucket so I can try to match the shade.

And lastly for the Pike I think I'm going to try the pool cue stick unless anyone has any ideas where I can get one thats approvable? And if not any ideas on what type of objects to use for the details on the cue stick.

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated! :tr:

As far as the boots I can send you a link to some suede boots that I got off eBay, they look great and require minor stitch removal and a bit of hemming potentially.

Good luck! I share your boot woes, but not foot-wise but in my calves.... my IB boots can't zip up completely :P

For the force pike, check out the various tutorials available here, and raid your local building stores' plumbing and gardening departments. Also check out auto supply stores for random corrugated pipes, grease gun tips, etc etc.
