Well done, I'd go with the original lines from Jason Wingreen's voice. So much more menacing IMO. What I plan on doing is having a buddy of mine who does audio restoration pull off the original audio from the VHS copy and remaster it for some quality sound. Unless someone else has already thought of that
Thanks Chris! It was my first suit up so I definitely need to work on how it all goes together to get the best look.Hey Evan, Congrats on the first suit up! A couple things I would work on is shortening the cape length, it usually ends right at about the knee. Also, your girth belt seems to be small? Or maybe it just needed to be tightened down more. Lastly, your flightsuit looks somewhat baggy in the legs and arms. I have a similar issue (legs mostly) what I do, is I put my spats,shin tools, knee armor on. Then I do the cod and kidney...at this point I bring up excess flightsuit over the cod and put the girth belt on. Once thats done, I put my ammo belt on and you aren't able to see the excess that I pulled up. Though, I am an SE fett and have 14 pouches around me . For the arms, after I put the flak on I have whoever is suiting me up literally pull on my sleeves to get any bunching out. After I put my gloves around the excess flight-suit and Velcro them as tight as possible, then my gauntlets go over it.

The girth belt I'm pretty sure only comes in one size, and I'm a bit wide in the belly, so not much I can do there other than keep trying to lose weight we had the straps cinched about as tight as we could get em. I could get it tighter if I were to cinch it up behind my back and not over the kidney plate, but the CRL model has it cinched over the kidney plate, so that's what I did!
I hung my cape from the very corner, I'm actually not sure if that's how you're supposed to attach it but it seemed right? It might be wrong. I'm about 6'1" so I feel like I shouldn't need to shorten the cape. Do you have any suggestions for mounting it? Now that I think about it the lip of the cape where I attached it kept flipping up a little and looked weird so maybe I don't have it on there right.
Yeah, I need to play around with it. It's crazy how many adjustments you need to make after wearing it for the first time! Thankfully they are all just to make it easier to wear while trooping and for everything to look crisp, and (hopefully) not deal breakers for getting approved. I need to be approved in 2 weeks for our first big troop of the year, and our GML will have to send my pics to the detachment so it won't be as quick a turnaround as it typically is with him.I had the same issue with the original girth belt I bought, so I ended up going with woodmans girth belt, and he was able to make it for my size. For the cape, that is what my understanding is also, Mine is too from the very corner where I put a ring nut in. I would think it was flipping up due to the weight of the cape when it gets stitched down with the studs...Maybe you have to adjust a bit more to go in the corner so it doesn't flip?
Do you know if a Woodman girth belt has to be dyed? I'm not even sure what girth belt I have tbh, I bought it secondhand with my flightsuit, flak vest, and neck seal. I'm hoping I can still get approved with the one I have and then upgrade ASAP, because I've been working every single day for nine months to get approved specifically so I can troop at our bi-annual Salem Red Sox game troop on the 28th. Beyond being my favorite, it was also one of our squadmate's favorite troops (Ryan Hubbard TK-91185), and he is the one who helped convince me to take the final leap to do Fett. He passed away just a few weeks after the last one in August, so this upcoming troop has a lot of meaning for me and for the rest of our squad.Hey Evan
Sorry to hear that you didn’t get approved. I highly suggest taking to woodman and seeing what he can do for a new girth belt and get one that will fit properly.

Not to get sappy or anything...
Awesome. I'll see if I can grab one from him I have some of his wookie braids and they are fantastic. They shed like crazy though...It comes ready to go
