Hey Rebels
I'm building my ANH Tusken and it's time I post some wip pics.
I still have a lot to do but i'm working on it every day to get it finished up and start trooping.
I made my belt and bandoliers and i'm working on my gaffi stick and rifle.
My ordered my mask kit and i'm waiting for it to arrive.
I just made the robes last night and haven't weathered them up yet.
I still have a lot to do but here it is so far.

You will need wrapping on your arms and boots. Rule #1 of Tuskens and Jawa: No skin must be seen.

Oh yes. I bought tall wellies boots and i'm going to wrap them and i'm making the arm wraps and a neck seal as well.

Thank you David and Ryan!! You are both a big part of the reason I wanted to join the Rebel Legion!

Ryan, I applied to the Carida's Imperial Academy but still haven't heard back from them yet.

I've been working on the head the past two days. After a couple of mistakes I finally got the mouth looking right. I'll post some more pics soon.

Mouth was the hardest part for me. I would love to see some pics.

I just want to start off by saying I love the robe pattern, I'm assuming its a prequel tusken since its only the one robe? The color looks white to me, you mentioned weathering but I think you'll also need to dye it, unless its just the lighting throwing it off.

Thank you Dan!!
I am going to dye the robe and all the cloth parts darker, after that I will dirty them all up! I am going to make the outer robe as well.
I heard some people say that because the Bantha riders in ANH only had the inner robe you only need one. I have no idea if that's enough to get in. Any info would be great!

Very good to know.
Thank you Dan!

I started to dye the robes.

Looking good, might need to be slightly darker, but pictures can be misleading to based on the lighting. Can I ask what material you used for the robe?
