Posted: Tue Feb 14, 2017 10:53 pm
Hey all,
I decided to start this thread and post up all of the completed item's that I have crafted for my Tusken Build. Please share your comments, and feel free to ask any questions regarding my build.
Overall Status: Approved
Mask/Helmet - I purchased the Darth Hair kit off of his Etsy Store. I utilized most of the kit but substituted the following items/materials
Duck Cloth - I purchased from Jo Anne's Fabric - The duck cloth from Jo Anne's is slightly heavier and I felt it presented better - All duck cloth was dyed with Black Tea and weathered with pastels and graphite powder.
Leather Strips - Purchased off of amazon.com - The leather from amazon was a heavier weight and came pre-dyed.
Neck Wrap - Utilized left over duck cloth from helmet and added 3 long 2" strips to one shorter 6" strip. I simply wrap around my neck and tuck. Still need to weather.
Breather Can - I purchased a can from Berzerker on the KC forums, installed armature wire and weathered with sand paper and various acrylic paints.
Bandoliers - Made my own waist bandolier using tan vinyl leather. I also purchased an authentic British 1903 Bandolier off of Ebay.
Robes - Robes Completed. Outer Robe was built with Monk's Cloth using the TK409 Pattern and the Inner Robe was built with Muslin using the Studio Creations Pattern. Both were dyed with Black Tea and weathered with Acrylic paint, olive oil, and Oven/Grill grime.
Waist Sash - Made with Muslin and weathered the same as the robes.
Arm Wraps - I have not yet built these yet, but plan to cut off sleeves from long sleeve shirt and wrap with left over helmet duck cloth.
Boots/Leg Wraps - Bought $15 Rain Boots off of amazon.com and wrapped with left over duck cloth from helmet.
Gaffi Stick - I utilized HappyTrooper's Gaffi Build (http://www.happytrooper.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;) and made my own.

To assemble the tail section, it's a PVC pipe and the fins are cut from a No Trespassing sign. The fins are then glued into the PVC Pipe with E-6000 and Hot Glue. I then painted the assembly with primer and metallic paint. Finally I weathered the welds with black acrylic paint (painted on then brushed off with a clean paper towel) and pastel sticks.
