[QUOTE="Imperial nut, post: 112703, member: 2017"] :D score, Repro haters look away now,,weasel,mods, you could move this to reference? but i am posting it here to stay on topic. after studying tiefighterboys link i set off to find the holy vinyl grail. And for €3 i found and binder with plastic identical to the gloss skirts the hoth stormies have. In fact i was used to hearing that most vinyl was patterned and of a different thickness. This stuff aint,,, however it is not as glossy and you could see the difference, but you would have to have a real skirt beside it. But as i am only interested in these skirts for display i would have taken any kind of white vinyl, so nobody worry about a flood of repro skirts on ebay, i will destroy them if i ever sell the stormies, cause i dont agree with "WOW L@@K BEST CAPE ever [size=1]repro[/size] Capes" on ebay or anywhere. so to the how too guide :lol: just in case any reputable collector on here wants to try this. I wont put it up on RS as i will only be shot in the face from point blank range with a shotgun if i do :D right what you need; [img]http://i647.photobucket.com/albums/uu196/wicklowplugger/cape%20craft/IMGP0663.jpg[/img] 1.large box of stormies, some skirtless. 2.Pencil - important for rubbing out lines and no messy ink. 3.scissors -get an adult to help you if you dont feel confiedent or just hit up a large bong. 4.Awesome vinyl folder.

[img]http://i647.photobucket.com/albums/uu196/wicklowplugger/cape%20craft/IMGP0665.jpg[/img] i love a bit of skirt. now for the binder , [img]http://i647.photobucket.com/albums/uu196/wicklowplugger/cape%20craft/IMGP0666.jpg[/img] trace the outline of the skirt, fiddly and yes it makes it larger than the origional but just cut on the inside of the lines to get it closer . Also remember to trace the cape slits too. important later. repeat [img]http://i647.photobucket.com/albums/uu196/wicklowplugger/cape%20craft/IMGP0667.jpg[/img] repeat loads of times - this will get fiddly be calm and breath [img]http://i647.photobucket.com/albums/uu196/wicklowplugger/cape%20craft/IMGP0669.jpg[/img] using a craft knife cut the cape slits while still on the folder as it is way easier than doing it after. i purposely left out the roundoffs at the ned of the slits to diferientiate from origionals and cause i am lazy.
