glad i could help. I did the scanning crew thing originally as i felt it just went hand in hand with an astro mech. little did i realize people would just think i was a janitor of the facility. hehehehe

The hats may or may not be salvageable but you can get much better, especially if Kathy has one that will fit your noggin (unlike me)

does Kathy make them?

Hey Crix,

don't forget Stephanie is also a seamstress, she could alter your uniform and you can have it ready in less than 2 weeks.

if you want, she could alter it, remove pockets, add-whatever.

Well, Costume Base is in Singapore, so it takes 10 to 15 working days to get shipments from them here in the states... Don't forget to take that into account!

But in all seriousness, the odds of seeing Crix in an Imperial uniform are approximately 3,720 to one!

Yeah, her hats are sweet. You know, if you wanted to save your self all the trouble, just order 2 dickies coveralls, use one for the pockets and compad holder. I recommend using the jolly roger's detachment website's design of the tie pilot flight suit. (minus the chest pockets of course) And you will come up with one awesome set of coveralls. They even have a good tutorial for making the belt, which is also extremely easy to build. As for the hat, I recommend you hit kathy up, though there is plans to make your own. I was not very good at making it so I bought one of hers, and never regretted that decision.

here is the pict on their site.

and the url to their site.

a lot of good stuff there that can actually help.. just ignore the chest pockets and you should be good to go. you can also ignore the knee pockets, but i added them just because more pockets for convenience sake.

Trust me, when I say it is fairly easy, as I am only good at putting things together that require welding, soldering , jb weld, screw, and bolts. hehehehe, Costume building has never been my thing, so I am confident you will succeed.

Boots, well let me just say if you or any other officers, or ic's out there have suggestions, as my boot hurt my arches after a decent troop, I would love to hear about it myself.
