Ep III Senate Guard WIP
Posted: Thu Oct 09, 2014 12:15 am
So, I am on my way to make this happen. I have just gotten back into this from a hiatus due to work and life in general. I REALLY want to be the first Senate Guard in the Tampa Bay area. So, here are some pics of my costume so far...
Just some quick notes, the bucket needs finish sanding, paint and the plume attached. The face shield (lens) needs to still be finish shaped and installed (and some fans, Florida is HOT).

Bucket Pic 2
Force Pike
I am also looking to find a "biker" blaster for the costume as that is able to be approved also (at least it was last time I checked). I need to revisit the CRL. Just not sure how to carry it (holster, etc.)
Ok, so, I have searched the net for a good "jump suit" to go underneath and this is what I found. I ordered the "Postman Blue" and they shipped the "Electric Blue". Whoops. Here is a link to the actual color I ordered. They should be shipping out the correct color once I get this one sent back.

Here is the material I will be using for the robe, with both arms open, but closed in the back. I have looked at quite a few different types of material and this one is the the best I have found for color and acceptability for the heat of the south. I found it at Jo Ann Fabrics! It actually looks incredibly close to the screen Senate Guards in my humble opinion. It also will give a bit of a "flow" when you walk and hangs very well!
I still need to figure out gauntlets (gloves).
For the boots, I will use the same boots I use for my 501st Imperial Officer. I have both knee high and "ropers".
Tall boots (coveralls tucked in):
Ropers (under the coveralls):
I encourage all comments, questions and suggestions.
I know I am forgetting something...anyways...thanks for any and all input!!!
Well, I guess that is it...I will post more pics when I have some more progress and I will be checking in here more often now that I am back working on this project.
