Hi all,
I decided to go through the big fun of building The Legendary Wookie.
I read some WIP and the pinned topics and of course I will have some questions 
I think I will go with the full Evil Chimp mask, but first I need to find some good stilts and be able to walk with them 
I'm looking for a good pair of stilts for my future built and as the Skywalkers are not made anymore, can someone refer me to some good ones?
I saw these but I'm not quite sure:

Thanks

| I use those 15" stilts that you posted. I buy mine off ebay. Just keep in mind that you need to also be thinking about how to account for the stilt bump and have a plan ready to transition from the foot to your knee. |

Thanks! I have a few ideas on how I will handle the bump , I keep scrolling through the WIP but the hard foam/soft foam mix seems to be the winner for now!
For the mesh, as Joann doesn't ship to Canada and Moodfabric is sold out
Is this one a good option?

That mesh is not good for latching. Joanns has something that is called utility mesh. Its more like a netting. THis will cause a ton of shrinkage as you latch and alter all your proportions in as you build. It will end up too small.
