So one of our approved Jawas (im looking at you http://tinyurl.com/ashleydgirl) said I needed a Jawa for my 12th "501 Street Legion" approved and 9th Rebel Legion costume.
so here we go, diving into a jawa build. This actually is not my first Jawa build, its just the first for me. I have built several Tuskens as well.
I like sand. Its gritty, and it gets everywhere...
Traditional build with the traditional materials, yards and yards of Monk cloth, speaker fabric, jersey gloves that need dye and hair for the backs of the hands and a bit to go up my arms, the ever traditional Jason mask, Im working on my own eyes from scratch, and I still need to source boots. Rubber boots really do not work for me, and I have huge landing gear. If I could get Uggs to fit I would be happy.
I recieved a wonderful Repro Martini-Henry bandolier and proceeded to beat the crud out of it, and promplty gave it a decent burial in my backyard.
I also ordered a sound glove from Hyperspace props, and I had WAY too much fun scaring the cat with it!
I am hosting work day on Sunday the 18th so Ill hopefully have some new photos to post up.
Looking forward to this and all the mischief to come!

Mask base is a cheap hockey mask with caspule toy capsules mounted to a plastic frame I made.
boots are spray glued with fabric from the robe.

Re: WIP OT Jawa Ulaa Thah
so lets talk upgrades
The jawa by itself can be a lot of fun but the thing that really make it come to life especialliy with at leaast one other is a sound glove and amplifier/speaker.
The sound glove commonly used is from Hyperspace Props, and comes as a built up glove, or a u build it kit. I connectd it to the cheapo amp I got on Amazon with a 6 foot patch cable run up my arm.
I got a set of cheap cosplay opera gloves off Amazon and mountd the glove set to that, and that all goes on first beore my long black sleeve sport shirt does. Its all hidden, and the amp is at my waist. You dont see any skin when hold my hands over my head and scamper off , shreiking.
