no generalgrevious ,clparker is making only my bandolier, i got my head from him and the feet are going to my friend Pete to finish. he may need to Jerry rig it to fit into the ankle socket. im not concern with joint movement because he doesn't need it. only need to add an inch to legs and he will be good to go. I still need to make a mesh body suit to be skn tight to give the hair tooth to cling to. i can hand stitch the fabric near ankle since i have to leave some opening to make room for feet.
the irony is these feet add already 1/2 inch to height so that makes Pete's job a synch to do.

that`s cool. it should be interesting to see how the suit comes along since you plan on sewing it on

Hm. Maybe you could do one for me if i buy the supplyes once you figure yours out
sure it's not going to be cheep though because of the hand gleing and then i have to treat the hair so it will look right.
I think the fur preps might take a month or so to do with wait time and ploting out the spots. I will try to sew in the hair like they do with hair extensions in peoples heads. I don't think that will work here unless hair is long enough and only some layers would be optimal for sewing into it so if i do that i will have to alternate sewing with gluing.

cool keep me updated on your progress show pics of how the body looks before you apply the hair
SSC would have to hire every sweat shop out there (shh it's a secret just ask Niki back in the 80's) to get this to be cheap enough that people would buy a proper furred suit. although if the do a fair trade with someone who makes the hair it could be avoided and the country the fur comes from would make a buck and ssc could make a buck and everyone is happy, if not look at hasbro's fur suit and if sideshow could buy up rights to volks neo-eb-go/guy bodies since they stoped selling the male bodies and just extend limbs voila. you have yourself a chewbacca
