Finally got a cloak I was satisfied with and took my acolyte for a spin at a con along with taking some approval pics! Yay

Very NICE! Keep it up!

Happy for you sir! Now I have more hope getting my acolyte approved as well!

It is mostly a KB kit you can see his thread at the "for sale section" here. Gauntlets and handplates are Imperialsurplus.com, Ab piece from Wolfgang, gauntlet rocket greeblie from Maynock, thumb and canister from TK1700. Hope it helps... now I am just missing the robe then ready to take photos for submission. Hopefully can be approved on time for TFA opening!

Testing the chest again on my shirt before put I put in place the velcros and bolts... Then attached Wolfgangs abb piece with KB modified cod Then I bolted the set-up to the chest piece. Now for a test fit... Now for the belt to attach to the cod and the canister... More to come!

Managed to get some stuff done to move things forward on this build. Worked on the gaunts by painting it black and adding some extra details... More to come as I have been working on the chest, abb and cod sections...

Better pm him. I did buy a few parts from him but regarding the whole kit, have to ask him Im no expert but, it must be a level 3...

Yup I know it is discouraged but I have the impression that it was only discouraged because of the lack of details, and how the TOR Jedi is not consistent with the TOR sith in some details like the cod and gaunts. Kevin B's gaunts were too long for me so I got the KW gaunts along with the handplates as it fit me better. Hope the additional missiles and deeper groove lines that I am planning to do will make it detailed enough to be approvable. I think that the word "discouraged" becomes a stigma to not get the kit and do your own modifications and have fun with it. So far in my opinion,based on the CRL I got: "Forearm Armor For 501st approval: Must be fully-encased gauntlets ( check ) complete with the appropriate greeblies consistent with available references. (double check ) Must be painted a metallic grey that is weathered in a pattern consistent with the rest of the armor.(will do) The use of TOR Jedi armour is discouraged " (just this ) Thanks for the heads-up!

Worked on my gloves and managed to get everything together... trying out with the sabre... more to come!

Some updates... Ordered the rockets from maynock and they fit perfectly on my kwdesigns gaunts! Next would be to paint these...

Very accurate as well...

Worked on some weathering for d boots and hand plates. Primered d gaunts. Next will be figuring out how to install that pointed thing on the gaunts as seen here... And done beautifully by an Acolyte over at UK...

Neck seal was a second hand bought over from the mando mercs site. It was used for an iron man costume. I thought d ribs and paint job would work for a Sith Acolyte, so i bought it. Will be contacting Darman for a back-up one in case ds one dont meet standards...

Hope you make the Neck armour as well... d one on this guy...

Yup, hopefully soon! Testing the finished mask, neck seal and shirt... Still working on d gaunts, hand backs and gloves.
