Neck Template

My version of the neck and some templates if you want to make your own.
Enjoy!



T-Nuts-
The movie suits used a similar configuration except with the use of 1/4-turn Dzus fasteners. I've purchased a few of these but I bought the wrong size. Ordering more soon and will post updates as to how they compare.

These are pushed through from the inside of the neck and glued into place.

Looks like this when done.
This sticks out just far enough to grab onto the holes on tabs of the mask's face but don't interfere with the back of the helmet.

I guess I've just been in a Tatooine state of mind lately and have been putting a bit of time into my sandtrooper. Here's a little info on my new ammo pouches...

METAL!!!

OK, finally started the metal tutorial!!!


















It's going to be a multi-part process and I'll be keeping all the parts here.
Once it's done, I'll edit out all the excess rambling, amend anything I missed and combine the videos into one long vid.

Ready to get started?!

NOTE! before starting, if you plan on doing gold, I'll be showing a few other techniques not recorded yet. One of the techniques may require one of these earlier steps to be altered... I'll be sure to make a note as soon as I figure it out.
