Imperial Pilots Wanted Chick - Sold

This is a project in the making until I get it just the way I want it. I only have this one reference photo from the Star Wars Visionaries by artist Feng Zhu.

Prizes
2nd Place Female at I-Con Masquerade; March 25, 2006

Best in Show - One Man Star Wars Show, Costume Contest, October 31, 2005 - Judged by the Producers of Broadway plays, Spamalot and The Producers.

Update! 01-21-07
I bought a mannaquin off ebay to use for the chest plate since the one I have is WAY too big for me. I'll have to see how this works out :-)

Update! 03-27-06
A few photos of the Feme Tie from I-con this weekend! Photo's courtesy of Cristina and Mike :-)

Still to do...
- Make more boxes for the belt.
- Paint the Chest box I made - DONE 3/1/06
- buy more rivets so I can finish the chest armor. I already riveted the shoulder straps to the back, but I ran out when it came to riveting the velcro to the straps and the front :-(
- Rivet elastic straps on the shin armor so I don't have to tape it to my leg anymore.
- Rivet straps to the shoulder bells and straps to keep those on without tape as well.
- Get a new body suit
- Make gloves with the silver part on top. I think I'm going to make gauntlets like I did for my Padme costume, this way I don't have to take off the entire long glove if I need to. I'll have shorter glove with the wrist armor on it as well.
- Make wrist armor.
- Make new boot spats, my old ones don't fit the way I want them too.
- Work on the helmet to make it wearable, it hurts to wear it as it is now.

1 My sketch of the costume.	2 Fly for the Empire!	3
4 Imperial Pilot Chick - full Veiw	5 Shoulder Armor and top of gloves shot. There is stitching (like Vader) on the gloves and legs. I think I mightjust make these snap onto the main body suit, or just make them sleeves. I haven't fugured it out yet. The shoulder peice looks like I could just get away with a black Stormy peice there.	6 2/23/06 I made the belt, leg strap, 'pouch', and leg 'pockets' :-) I still need to make the box for the back of the belt, as well as the wrist armour.
7 This is a little odd too. I think if I make sleeves, the gloves will be just past the wrist in length. The peices on the wrist can be armor.	8 This is easy to see at least. There is a stitching on the legs (like vader), armor on the shins, and a small peice on the foot of the boots. For the shin armor, I'm thinking stormy peices again. The boots would be 'pirate' style boots that fold over like that on the top. I can just make an aluminum peice for the foot.	9 These came in 8-23-05 and they are exactly what I was looking for :-) I'll be able to make a spat very easily for the pirate top.
10 This is the pattern I'm using for the body suit. It's Kwik Sew 3052. I got the main part of the body suit done, but I'm not happy with it and will be redoing it soon.	11 The helmet - FINALLY!	12
