Nova: That's probably the easy way! I, of course, did it the hard way and chipped the coating off. I'm very good at finding the hard way to do things. :^)
Den: The vagaries of digital photography crept up on me here. The inner tunic and the pants aren't the same color in real life, though I'm not entirely happy with the inner tunic color. I dyed the inner tunic myself, but it didn't quite come out as I wanted. I'm probably going to spray a dilute solution of black dye on the inner tunic to darken it a little. Also, I've found that a dilute spray of black dye mimics sweat stains really nicely, giving kind of a Qui-Gon look which I like.
The truth about the food capsules is that I thought, for some reason, that there were red and blue ones in the films when I made them. I didn't do my research and haven't yet bothered to repaint them.
Thanks for the comment about the belt rig. I actually have gotten some of the correct rivets for holding the narrow belt in place but haven't installed them yet.
