Re: Mr Tea
Ian brought C3po and his wrangler over to my place yesterday evening. He put the new costume on for the first time and he has a few photos I'm sure he will be posting soon.
It's even more impressive when you see it in person. The neck ring, and he has three are all lightweight, and when it's on, his wrangler adjusted it differently.... was totally COOL!!!
Most people I have seen look smaller as their droids, but this suit makes him look much larger... Just has this terrific metallic glow and it appears to be all Solid metal.
WOW. WOW.. WOW...

I believe what your seeing Watto is the neck piece sorta flared outward. Once he puts it on, it will correct the odd look. Hope i wasn't steppin on toes there Mr Tea, by answering for ya
Yes! I think that is the case! Thanks for chiming in Goldenrod. I'm using reflective gold posterboard for my neckseals, so they are disposable, and easy to make. I'll probably use a new one every time I wear the suit. If I tape it in the back, it doesn't seem to flare out at the bottom as much. I don't think the shape or the slightly different gold tint will stand out.
Ill have some more photos of me wearing it soon.

Re: Mr Tea
Good idea on the neck seal.. If I ever get mine VM'd I'll keep it in mind for sure.
How did you do the eyes? (did you use rice lights?) And, if so, can I see how they look inside?

Actually, I was one of the lucky ones to get in on the MonCal machined eyes run, and I got the optional LED Kit. (http://www.therpf.com/showthread.php?t=38111)
I got a chance to do a test fitting on Suday March 1st. I finally got the pictures online, here they are:

Re: Mr Tea
how do you feel about moving in the suit? (I'd worry about scratching something. lol)
The gold looks great... I'm now more driven to get mine metalized.
