I have just had a look at the tracking on the revo unit, it has arrived in the country on the 16th, soooo hopefully i'll have it sometime next week. :)

Here is a picture of the belt in its finished state visually, just the electrics to finish for later :) .
This was so that I had a sort of complete costume for today.
The belt that I had was one of my old police duty belts that were trialled for the NZ police but were withdrawn due to velcro not being a suitable method of doing up the belt.

Well after the day I needed it the revo/fx voice box arrived, yay :) .
This is a fantastic unit, great sound effects and with the breathing sound in the background.
It was funny, my youngest daughter tried it and she sounded just like her mum???? :D

You should have seen the dog yapping out the window of it's car, as soon as it saw me approach it was very silent, as I got closer it started to slowly move back into the car, the closer I got the further back it moved & with no sound what so ever from it :lol:
We had quite a few visitors come from Wellington just to see Vader, which I thought was great.
Lots of interest in the shop as well, which was good for Di.
