Boots from costumebase. Belt by My Wicked Armor. Bandoleer by beavercreekjedi of Civilized Galactic Gear. Tabbards and capes and tunic by my wife working from Koda Vonnor's pictures. The breast plate is EVA as are the vambraces. The slides are again to Koda Vonnor's design but he used aluminum. I had to use cardboard and balsa wood. The shoulder bells are papier mache reinforced with polyester resin then steel putty for car body work. The chest and shoulder pieces are attached to a body harness using velcro and straps and buttons and poppa studs.

I'm recovering from an operation and I've put on too much weight to wear the costume. I can go back to the gym next week so with a bit of luck and effort I will be able to post pics of me in the costume by the end of April.

I'm going to wrap the saber in leather but I won't do tsuka-me just yet. Need more practice.

Many thanks to Bill (Koda Vonnor) for his assistance and support.
