Star Wars - A New Hope

Here is something I just found on the internet and thought: "Man that guy has too much time!"
But it is really awesome! It is basically the movie Star Wars - A New Hope but presented in a way, you've never seen before!

Check it out here!

I just added the Top Links section on the right. I know there are not many in there yet, but they are both very good sites to satisfy your star wars costume needs.

And there are others to be added soon! I promise!

Pepakura Papercraft

A while back I heard of a technique to build 3d models out of paper, called pepakura. I think it is a japanese invetion, like origami. Well, it is actually pretty easy to do, you just have to find a model you want to build (there are lots of them out there in the net), print it out, cut it out and piece it together the right way.^^

Things you'll need:

A cutting knife for smaller areas, a pair of scissors, glue, and some sort of ruler.

Why am I telling you guys something about a japanese papercraft technique?

Easy to answer, because you can build your own props or costume parts with it. It's cheap, fun and in the end you can say: "I did this myself!".

A few days ago I started working on a Boba Fett helmet with this technique, and this is my progress so far...







The templates are from a guy called Skip, he does an awesome job modeling and creating the pdo files. He has his own blog, and you should definately check it out! Just click here!

Well that's all for today!

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...

Well, this is it. A German guy, writing an English Star Wars fan blog. Hopefully I will not be alone on this one, since my sister used to be a huge Star Wars fan herself I hope she'll join me soon. Well, with no further ado let's get started.

What's going to be on this blog?

That depends, first of all I'm going to write tutorials to build your own Star Wars costumes and props. (Got some nice stuff there^^) I will also probably include a couple stories written by me or my sister all taking placer inside the Star Wars universe. I will also be including a link list with my favorite Star Wars prop building sites. And who knows what else the future might bring...

May the force be with you...
