Hello This one I missed, sorry about that. Your cape and skirt will need to be taken up a bit, they should not be touching the ground, also your gloves - I am not a fan of the seam around the wrist, not sure if your GML will allow it or not. Other than that, looks nice - good luck.

That looks so much better Good luck

Hi Which version are you going for ? Regarding the fabric for the inner dress and veil, I went with a polyesterblend that has some weight to it, so both the veil and dress/sleeves would drape nicely.

Your welcome Regarding the gloves, if you are satisfied that the gloves are not a nuisance in your elbow joint then it is not something that I consider a problem, was more if they went beyond the joint. LOL I think we've all tried to forget to put something on when we jump in our suits - I forgot one time to put on my knee armor on my scout, but luckily I noticed it before heading out, and I had put that armor on a million times 😂 I think you´ll need to put in new pics, as this costume will be approved by the Legion MLs and not by your own GML team, also if your cape on the pics are touching the floor, then it will be pushed back to your GML team for corrections. Looking forward to seeing the end result

Very nice work on the sound glove The skirt lenght looks fine, as long as it doesn´t touch the floor, and the cape needs to be taken off the floor, it is also not allowed to touch it. Your gloves are very long, I know that the CRL states, that they shall reach the top of the midarm, but they look like they go out over your elbow ? Perhaps a single fold on them would look better. Do remember to wear a balaclava, so no skin is being shown, when you do your approval pictures Good luck

Looking much better with the shorten of the cape and skirt, and with the cape placed correctly over the shoulders, boots are fine. Not sure what you mean by the text being vague though, from the CRL : "Plain black boots are worn. They do not have visible straps, buckles, or laces" - there is also a picture showing how they should look. Good to go

You´re welcome

Hello Your observation is correct, the hood needs work to fit the part from Pam - I have the same one and I worked the hood around it and used velcro to have it stay in place. It will not fit with already made cat-ears on the fabric, when the seller didn´t have the part to work with. The pic comes up very blurry for me, so I am having a hard time to see the other details, but do remember also, that the cape is not allowed to go out over the arms like you have right now. You will need to put snaps or velcro on your shoulders and cape for it to sit right and get it to go up over the shoulders and down the back. I am also unsure about your gloves, on your right arm it looks like the glove isn´t formfitted but flares out ? perhaps it is just the way you stand. And I can´t see if the sleeves are quilted ? The outer skirt looks a bit off as to the CRL, that you can find here : Costuming:SL darth nihilus - Databank (501st.com) For us to give the best help, a picture of each part of the costume and pics of you suited up in natural lighting without the saber light will be appriciated - front/back/left/right side pictures But all in all, you´re almost there

Very nice, great job

Congratulations

I did a lot of mods to the mask, and I can´t find the file anymore, but this one can be used as the base, if you make the adjustments like I did and reshape the eyes and chins : https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4972375

As David already mentioned to you, it is your Garrisons GML team, that you will need to mail the application too first - you can also ask your squad leader for the mail address. Good luck

Your GML team is where you will need to send your application, and they will make sure to send it to the Legion for final approval. From what I can see, your cape is to long it shall not touch the floor, and you need to gather it more at the shoulders, it shouldn´t go out over your arms like yours do, but up over your shoulders and down the back. If you look at the CRL model, you will get an idea on, how it should look. Do you have padding on the chest area ? Your skirt also need to have a more gathered look like the CRL model, yours do not have any and shorten the lenght as it also shall not touch the floor. And I am a bit worried about the large opening on your hood, but it can be a dressing issue ? All in all you have done a great job, just the last finishing touches and you´re good to go

@DarthValkyria guess this one is one for you

There is no embargo on making a costume - if you can provide the reference pictures of the costume from all sides incl. details and such, it should be good to go. You can also message our DL @DarthValkyria and ask on how to

Sorry for the late respons, didn´t get a notification No sadly I just don´t get to use it as much as I wanted to, and my son liked it, so it is a win for him - he got approved without issues, so that was nice for a change. I am in the making of another costume at the moment, but perhaps I´ll do another Nihilus at some point

I have retirede my Nihilus costume and given my oldest son the suit - we have adjusted it and he has just send in pictures to our GML for approval - he wears it nicely

It can also get more expensive, if one get things done and then will have to replace parts due to them not being correct. The link to files, that Nina has given you, is quality. Making costumes is not a cheap hobby, sometimes I wish it was - that is also why some costumes for myself is taking really long time to complete, because I need to save up money for parts.

Very nice, really enjoy following your wip

Congratulations 🎇

No that one looks to much like Vaders - I wouldn´t use it. This is the one from the CRL - you´ll need a plain silver colored one. The next picture is mine, that I got custom made for my Visas Marr, I used it on non-canon events when I still had my Traya. You´ll need something similar in style - metal/silver color, plain hilt.

This is a amazing build

Congratulations - amazing work.

Yes the A pattern would work just fine, just remember to have extra fabric at the shoulders for the pleates in the front - none in the back. And enough fabric in the back of the skirt to give it a gathered look from the waist and down.

Sorry for missing this thread I got my saber custom made several years ago, sadly the maker has closed since then. Since a saber is not needed for approval, you are good to go. If you want to use a saber, I would either by the one you link to and as Jennifer writes change some parts, or buy the parts and put one together yourself ? It just needs to be similar to the one in the CRL - unless you want to use a saber for canon events, then it must look the same.
