Man do these look great. I have a solution for those of us who either don't have the time or skill to do most of this by themselves. A friend of ours who will remain nameless at this time is thinking of producing a custom model (not a replicaof whats in the movies) for our use. This will be lightweight and inexpensive. <br><br>If you are interested please e-mail me for a prototype picture. <br> <p><p><table width="100%" border="0" height="138"> <tr> <td height="173" width="11%"><img src="http://www.midwestgarrison.com/IMAGES/propclub.jpg" width="100" height="134"></td> <td height="173" width="89%"> <div align="left"> <p><br> <font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="-1">1.

No cost on these yet they are still in the rough stages. They will be ABS and look similar to the movie ones. It would not be too tough to add a few things to make them "movie correct"<br><br>I will bring a sheet of pictures to Wizard and Dragon Con. <p></p><i></i>

Here are some photos of my homemade pauldron and backpack I just finished. The pauldron cost about $5 for materials and the backpack about $8 (I used mostly household item containers.) Let me know what you think. I may need to beef up my backpack a little:<br><!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.BartlettIndustries.com/darth ... <!--EZCODE LINK END--> . <!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.BartlettIndustries.com/darth ... <!--EZCODE LINK END--> . <!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.BartlettIndustries.com/darth ... <!--EZCODE LINK END--> . <!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.BartlettIndustries.com/darth ... <!--EZCODE LINK END--> . <!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.BartlettIndustries.com/darth ... <!--EZCODE LINK END--> . <!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.BartlettIndustries.com/darth ... <!--EZCODE LINK END--> <p><FONT SIZE="1" COLOR="#FF6600" FACE="arial, verdana, helvetica, sans-serif">Need a site designed?
