Obi Wan

Well this was a quick one...

I saw an ad for the brown robe so I grabbed it. I have to say I loved wearing it! It was so comfortable to watch movies in my cold basement. Oh well, back to blankets and heaters.

The inner tunic/robe is my old Aikedo gi slighty dyed beige, and the lower robe is just a $4 sheet I found at wal mart. COlor mathes the gi very well! The larger belt is from the same sheet. The other belt is just from a thrift store (as are the brown boots). Nothing super accurate but I added a buckle and another detail to the belt from seom reference images.

The mannequin is a cheap $25 ebay inflatable mannequin with no arms or head. I made arms out of foam noodles kids play with in swimming pools. I shaped and cut them a bit and added coat hangers to help them hold the shape.

The head..well thats just a photo I printed full size and glued to cardboard. Yup..cheesy I know but I casting of a sculpt is just not in the budget right now.


The first pic is with a flash. Lights up the face, although I prefer it in the dark a bit.



This pic is without a flash. I tried to hold still!

Jawa Eyes light up now!

I got a few of those garden lights that are basically a stake with a light on the top. They were just over $3 each at wal mart. I cut the led from two of them, added a longer wire, soldered the light to the wire and the wire to the board the led came from and placed the lights in my Jawa eyes. The solar charging light sensor I placed in the windowsill behind the Jawa outside of the curtain so it will charge in the day.

Now every night my Jawa eyes will light up.



I still need proper ammo belts for this Jawa.
