HAHA... yes, that would be me.
There was a reason I was bugging everyone for some shorts! But I did manage to come up with something.. and Presto! Here are some more vids and pics!
Does anyone else get these types of armor bites?

Re: Fiesta Bowl Threepio?
Looks great Shawn! You have the smaller, more accurate DP arms so it's a tighter fit than what I currently wear - I haven't had any pinching with the larger arms. I've got a pair of DP arms that I need to slightly modify for me to wear. You fit the suit well - a good height too.

Re: Fiesta Bowl Threepio?
that chaffing even with a body stocking on?
great pics awsome video.
The black/gold paint job looks pretty good, very nice effect indeed im gonna try it on one of my heads for display but i dont think id do a full suit with it i prefer to look as close to gold plate as possible.
but ill plate my full suit hopefully when its done.
on that subject, chris ive got a set of your arms painted with plastikote. how will that go with chroming properly will i need to remove all paint. or can chroming stick to primer if i spray them with that

That chaffing did happen with the body glove on... it wouldn't have been so bad if I had not been lifting my arm to wave. Each time I lifted the arm and put it back down I got a nasty pinch. After some time, I decided that I was gonna quit waving cuz I was killing myself each time.
I may pull a George Bush and do a pre-emptive strike by putting a bit of tape in the spots that were getting pinched. (before they get me!) lol

Hey Sean,
ARe you still looking for some shorts? I have a kit that has some urethane shorts, hands, and feet.
Glad to see you made the parade. I'm good friends with the wookiee.

Re: Fiesta Bowl Threepio?
That paint job does look spectacular! Can you give us more details on how you achieved that look? What paints did you use? what order did you use them, that kind of thing.
