Firstly we'll start the Jacket and go from there......

My Starlord Jacket (of sorts)

eBay leder-mass Starlord Jacket

I was lucky I found a burgundy faux leather jacket (New Look) on eBay.co.uk for £2.00 with £4.24 postage 



You can get a replica one from £44.99 for synthetic or £74.99 for leather

Thanks to Chocobo_sage for the image

People on the RPF forum have been getting one from FJackets which is currently $139.00 










As for the top, trousers, shoes, etc...

From what I can see most people are wearing black or combat type trousers. I got some black combat trousers from ASDA George for £12 (yes they're boys but they fit) and I wore a blue top but actually it should be a grey tshirt. 

I thought he wore boots but it looks like it's black shoes with brown half chaps. My calves are stupidly wide 43cm /16" so prob have to make mine as I also have short legs!

I've just got a standard metal belt from Primark (Men's) but I'll make a real buckle and it add so it looks like the real thing. There's 3D printer file here  or I've seen one you can get on Etsy. 
Some people have even made the rockets that go the boots they've used kids toy binoculars :)

Sony Walkman TPS-L2 

As I'm sure you've already seen that a real one os mega pricey on eBay. So I made my own papercraft version I'm lucky that I'm a cardboard box designer and made it at work.  I used e flute in my design but you can use b flute.  I made mine so my mobile could fit inside (Samsung S5) the ear phone jack lines up nicely too.  You can fit an iphone 5 inside or even an mp3 player.   I saw on eBay a mini cassette MP3 Player which would be cute too.

Retro Headphones.....

Retro Headphones eBay Seller: YourSpares

My husband painted the sides silver and black to hide the serial number

The Gun aka Quad Blaster

I ordered mine online as there's not a Disney store near me it was about £24 with shipping (don't forget Quidco) so only got one.

Nerf Star Lord Quad Blaster from Disney Store

My husband removed the orange panels, sprayed them black and then dry brushed with Citadel/GamesWorkshop Chainmail paint to make it looked weathered.

Of course the Helmet...

I've not made mine yet but check TheRPF forum or Dali Lomo's YouTube for more info....

Baby Groot
