bearden6521 Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 Sounds great! Negative. Once I get it back (provided no revisions need done at that time) I want to have a few people handle it in person to gauge quality and accuracy. This month is going to be hectic and I'm going to be away for the latter half of it. I hope to take it with me to our local sci-fi convention (Farpoint) the second week of Feb to get some reviews. So if everything goes well we'll take some orders then. I also have to work out with the guy who is making them how many he can take at a time and how long they'll take to get done.

SethB6025 Posted January 13, 2007 Author Share Posted January 13, 2007 A brief update, I stopped by the shop the other day to see how we were doing. Not so well; the guy had surgery to fix an 80% blocked heart artery Needless to say he wasn't there, so I'm going to pop in next week when he returns. This is apparently a slow time for him anyway, so maybe he can bust out my pauldron real fast. Like I said before, I'm taking the proto to "Farpoint" con with me on 2/17 for reviews and hopefully we can rock out a few. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD-1536 Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 Cool. My current pauldron's size & shape is driving me nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SethB6025 Posted January 13, 2007 Author Share Posted January 13, 2007 I have to sort out the orange color. The last time he didn't have anything in stock, maybe I'll bring a sample book to Farpoint. I'll have my white one with me, we'll see if it passes muster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SethB6025 Posted February 21, 2007 Author Share Posted February 21, 2007 Ol' Whitey will be ready this week, so I will be quietly anticipating the awesomeness and hoping nothing needs changed. Also, he has a true orange in stock. The suspense is killing me now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dirty Trooper Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 What we need when there done is the comparison sizes. i.e. just like the FX and SDS lids next to each other. I would be up for an orange one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolf Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Can wait to see some pic Seth. Rember me for one orange, and mabe a white and black one too. If it all work out well ex. Cheers. Rolf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SethB6025 Posted February 21, 2007 Author Share Posted February 21, 2007 What we need when there done is the comparison sizes. i.e. just like the FX and SDS lids next to each other. . I plan on it. I have one of the old GF pauldrons, and also a couple of the GA type from ebay. The GF was pretty close in shape, the one I'm having made is more similar to that than it is to the GA. The stitching positions are all eyed from the film, and the closure and fasteners will all be as close as I can get them. The color of the "back" of the pauldron will also match movie reference. The materials being used are all high-quality, the vinyl is very heavy and soft, not like the stuff on a big roll at the fabric store. I am so excited for this!

SethB6025 Posted February 22, 2007 Author Share Posted February 22, 2007 I stopped by the shop today to hash out a couple details. It was actually pretty funny when he looked at some nice color reference pics I brought him (thanks Art & Roger) he said (about the pauldron I had brought along with the pattern to show him what it sorta looks like) "That one is all wrong"! We selected an edging that should look just about spot on, and I made a last minute adjustment to the closure straps. I picked up a sample of the orange vinyl too, as I want to make sure that it looks right. I'm supposed to pick it up Tuesday, so as soon as I get my mitts on it I'll have pictures up for everyone and we'll get everyone hooked up.

SethB6025 Posted February 23, 2007 Author Share Posted February 23, 2007 Here is the orange. I think the color is very good, but it does have a grain to it. Looking for opinions, here it is against my chestplate under incandescent light; again against a GA orange pauldron that I always felt was too red-orange.
