The Tartan Tusken!

As most might not know, aside from being a piper and leatherworker, I'm also a costumer. Here's my (80% complete) Tusken Raider...

Please tell me you have a dog you can dress up like a bantha too !

Same guy (at least same head) with a different baldric for each outfit. I like it for Hallow's Eve, which ever you choose.

Yup yup! Scout Angus (My tubby beagle/basset) should hopefully have a bantha suit in the near future... ;)
And, yes, both of the pictures are of me! The Tusken bandoliers are actually early 1900s Enfield ammo pouches. I made them myself out of vinyl for very cheap. As for the No 2. dress, (which, by the way, is not a costume) the crossbelt is from L&M.

Nicely done on both sets of Full Dress. There is a 6/8 pipe march that might fit for both costumes. It's titled "Sandy the Piper." Here's a link to an on-line version:

Thanks for the pics.

PS: Do pipers travel single file to hide their numbers?

"Sandy the Piper", eh? I'm having a lesson today, so I'll bring it up! I've tried piping with my helmet on, but have amounted to no great avail...

As for pipers; yes, on occasion we do! Often, we'll return -- and in greater numbers. Drummers, however, may walk like men, but they're vicious, mindless monsters!
