CedarCreek Report post Posted January 9, 2009 (edited) This is some thing I made a while back for my brother in-law, who is a real Star Wars Geek. He is part of a Star Wars fan club the does alot of charity work with the childrens hospitals, etc. This is not my best work but it is fairly accurate as far as a movie prop goes.

wildrose Report post Posted January 9, 2009 I don't think I can show that to my bro-in-law because I'd have to be making one after! He is a total SW freak. I got him this trivia book game off Amazon.com for Christmas. Generally I don't buy him SW stuff 'cuz he has it all already. When I told him I'd never seen Empire Strikes Back, he bought me the whole trilogy for Christmas that year. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CedarCreek Report post Posted January 9, 2009 That's awesome! What did you use for the big metal plates? My husband will totally geek out on that. Thanks, I cut the two large buckles from some thin gauge stainless steel and then tack welded some loops to the back for attatching the belts. I cut them by hand and then sanded and polished. The project was on a pretty low budget. If I were to do it again I would draw them up in CAD and have them laser cut. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

K-Man Report post Posted January 11, 2009 Nice job! I did some of the same kind of stuff a couple of years ago for a young girl, who won 1st place in the costume contest, at the SW convention in Indianapolis. The one thing I learned through it all is the serious folk want every last detail adhered to. Her dad was calling me literally every day. I swore I'd never do anything like that again.
