Hoth Boots - UPDATE!

Image
These have been an absolute pain. Aside from the dodgey Chinese sellers sending rubbish I sent back, and then 'claiming' my return didnt arrive, losing money, buying a second pair etc... I'm pretty happy with how these turned out in the end! So here's what I had for reference. Not a lot to go on. Screengrabs arent much help either, nothing really shows his boots in detail at any point. Here is how my boots looked when they arrived : So started to work on these. But I noticed a few things along the way : 1. His boots are a different colour at the bottom to the top. Suede coloured bottom 'shoes' with an off grey/suede coloured boot calve attachment. So I have mimicked this with spray paint. I used chalk paint to get the effect on the suede. It turned out great. 2.

Hoth Han Solo Costume from ESB

And so it begins...  I've always loved Han.. I think he's my favourite character. I've already done a Chewie costume (see my other blog) and I always loved the Hoth scenes where they were hunting the probe droid. I've decided to build a Han Solo Hoth costume, to be as accurate as possible and also covered in snow! It's going to be cold looking, dirty, and hopefully keep me warm when I do those outside cold troops (hello London premiere!) Hopefully this blog will be useful to anyone else following my build as there doesn't seem to be many of these costumes out there at the moment (I can find 4 globally).

So my Todd's holster arrived and needed a little weathering. It was also too big. I found a way of adjusting these at the back. I trimmed the part where it narrows to go through the back buckle so that it tapered off earlier on. This made it possible to attach the belt to the next set of snaps on the inside. This then fitted me a lot better. I had to guess the waist size as I didnt have my coat at the time! I was slightly annoyed that it took me 25 mins to remove this. It was completely compacted shredded wet tissue paper that had completely solidified. I had to fill the holster with water in the end and then managed to fish the last lump out. Nightmare.... In the end it came out and this was what I got :) All Shiny and new.... well we can;t have that can we ;) Time for weathering!!! ....... This tapered part was cut further back towards the snaps so that it went further through t
