So you
want to have a grubby clothed scavenger to call your own? Well, you've
come to the right place.
This
tutorial will help you to make a great replica of your own Jawa for $100-$120.
So let's
get started.
Materials
you will need:
-
3 yards
of brown material, 60" wide. I used (nutmeg color) cotton duck cloth
($4-$7/yard).
-
1/3 yard
of black wool. This is for the face covering. ($3)
-
1 pair
of Kid's brown jerseygarden gloves. I got these at Ace Hardware,
but most any hardware store should at least be able to order them.
If not, you could search the web. Go to the "Hands" page to see a
pic of the gloves.($1.50)
-
2- Small
"Great Neck" flashlights (like mini-maglites). I picked these up
at Autozone. ($3 ea.)
-
2- Amber
colored lenses. I used small lisence plate reflectors I found at Ace Hardware.
($1 ea.)
-
1- 6" Styrofoam
sphere. Any craft store should carry these. ($2)
-
1- 10'
section of 1/2" plastic conduit. ($1.50)
-
1/2" PVC
fittings: (1) 4-way, (3) 3-way, (8) 90 deg., (2) 45 deg. ($4).
-
4' of sturdy,
yet bendable) metal wire. ($?)
-
Black duct
tape (20 yd roll). ($4)
-
4 sq. feet
of 1" foam. This is for giving the mannequin "bulk".
-
Spray Paint:
Black, Dk. Brown, Almond. ($6-$10)
-
Leather
belt (30-44 inches). ($7-$10)
-
Leather
ammo pouches. These may be difficult to find, but I purchased mine
(labeled as "Turkish Ammo Pouches") from sportsmansguide.com
. Go to the "Search All Catalogs" page. The Item number is AX0M
- 43496. ($5)
-
British
1903 Pattern 5-Pocket Leather Bandolier. Available from International
Military Antiques. ($40)
Once you
have acquired these, you are ready to begin bringing your Jawa to life.
