Couple quick pics from picking the buckets up this morning. Have to obviously get the visors in still. Color match was great and buckets look awesome!
On the other end going tomorrow to see the seamstress for hemming the robes to the right height which will have that taken care of in short order too!
Trying to sort out doing up our Stanley storage cases as well for the gear. Know what I want to do but spray paint didn't work so well so having to clean it off and then start over. Likely have to hand paint the Aurebesh etc on the cases, unless perhaps go with printed stickers but liking the painted on better.

Annnnd visors are now in place! MIGHT have to add a bit of tint though. Find it can be slightly a bit too see through.

Thanks it has been hardest just waiting for things really but very nice to be in the home stretch and almost done at this point.
Just got the call today too and robes are all set and done being hemmed. Picking both sets up tomorrow so all that is really left is doing a bit of tint work possibly on the visors and painting up the costume bins we got.
Almost done completely now!

Helmet color matches perfect the color of the outer. Good job.

Thanks Sasha! We made sure when we were there to take it outside with all the red paint sample chips and turns out Ford Truck Red was the one!
So robes have come back and all good, so tossed the stuff on inside tonight and snapped a couple pics. Boots, force pike etc.
