I know it's not strictly Jedi, but has anyone any knowledge of anyone that has done a wearable costume of a droid like 3PO or even Grievous? (I know there was the Grievous costume that was more like a marionette than a wearable costume) I only wonder as I've had an idea for my new costume and wondered how to go about doing it ;D

I've seen a video from C3 with one in C3PO, but I would say this is the kind of costume you do for thrill, not to wear... close to no vision, about no mobility. I rather have an astromech folowing me  |

I wasn't planning on an entire costume, but I had an idea of making a glove similar to something used on a droid to represent an artificial hand |

That's a great costume, but still not quite what I had in mind... I would look for sites devoted to StormTrooper armor, but the gloves do not have finger segments, which my idea would require...

so you're trying to get a protocol droid in order to make a robotic hand for a costume??

You could always make a glove out of that shimmery metalic fabric they use for women's blouses, and that decorator's glue they use for craft shirts. it comes in silver, gold, copper, and black.

That guy with the Grievous costume should join the Grand Army of the Republic. It's a prequel era costuming group that focuses on quality over canon. He'd have no trouble joining, I'm sure. Many members joined because they had bad experiences with the 501st, and found something more accepting with GAR. www.grandarmy.org |

our local garrison has told him he's welcome to troop with them anytime. Seattle has a good, reasonable bunch of people.

Thanks for the suggestion Sadly, that wouldn't have quite the look I'm going for, as I really do want it to look like a mechanical part, so I guess it'll probably have to be some kind of vacuum formed plastic sections over a tight black fabric glove. How I'm going to manage it, is another matter  |

When you say 'toy', do you mean some kind of glove, or something more like a model that had been modified into a glove?
