Blood-dragon

Hey there fearless leader. Do we have a process for level 2 approval ?

All done and ready to troop. Ready for level 2 approval.

Hey all. I think the updates /upgrades are done. He’s a couple of photos from the work room. Just need to organize the photo shoot for submission. Going to apply for level two.

Since my original Revan is grandfathered in with the new CRLs do I need to get new basic approval after making upgrade changes. Can I submit the improved version for level 2 approval after doing all the level 2 changes listed in the new CRL?

Finally getting around to updating my Revan to the new CRL. Changes so far from the bottom up. new boots. Leather, square toe , cross strap, silver gray weathered. Split skirt to replace hakam abdomen and and kidney armor updated with red stripe, 2 in rings , repaint. rebuilt back armor and clasps replaced with rings on the chest armor silver weathering added to armor bridges. still working on vambraces aces to single piece and new hood and capelet. Still a work in progress , but progress is good. Hope to submit for new approval soon.

I have heard that the caplet is no longer considered to be pleated as seen in the current CRL images. It this correct?

As our leader has said "It's up to the mouse". That said at the moment CS is dealing with a cut in the size of the parades to 150 marchers (down from 200) as the mouse has said they were to long and an increasing number of members applying to march. Disney is also requesting more screen seen characters. At the moment all EU costumes are on hold (not just the ones from Flagship). If you are interested in SWW I suggest you sign on to the Florida boards so you can keep up with current info.

Stay away from the CPS costume for this character. They do make some costumes that you can make 501st characters with, (flight suits, officers) But their Revan is not one. Read the posts in the Revan thread and the CRL. There are a number of good examples of how others have completed their costumes. As far as complete costumes, the only one I know of at present is the Wicked Armor. Even that one will require some modification before it's approved. Many who have made their own soft parts (me included) have used the trial and error method. Cutting and sewing until it looks right on you. So far I have not found any exact patterns for any of this costume Take your time and research. Ask questions. Lots of knowledge and experience on the boards.

Try brushing on a thin coat of resin with double the normal amount of catalyst. This often will cure the first coat. You will need to work fast as it will set very quickly. Make sure your room temp is over 70 and be careful with fumes. There are some good Tutorials of the boards about using resin.

Looks like you have a great start. One of the things I did was use cotton cord for the raised details. I glued it it place with liquid stitch then covere it with the next coat of poly. The cotton soaks up the resin and stiffens the whole project. I used bondo to smooth the details after it all set. Be sure to resin the inside as well. Thin coats are your friend. The more you put on the heavier it gets. Side note: I got notice today mine has been approved.

Hi All. The word just came down. APPROVED!!! Now SL-4953..

Thanks. You're right on with the mask . Had some great color variations after weathering but when I clear coated it they all evened out. So that's an upcoming project. Photos have been sent up to the GML so now we wait.

Hey all! I think it's done.. Here's a link to the photos. http://s1212.photobucket.com/user/JW6350/slideshow/Revan%20submission%20photos

Jamie, thanks for the kind words. It's definitely on with your Nihilus. Here's a couple of shots from last weekends test troop (lots of wind). Still a couple of issues, but almost there.

Thanks for the encouragement. I need to tweak a few more things to make it more "troop-able" and then I'll send up photos.

Hi all. Bin away from the boards for awhile (holidays and such) but I have made some progress. Here's a few of the current photos. I think I'm getting close. [

Update so far. Here's a couple of pictures of the first fit tests of the raw parts.

Luna The photos are great. Lots of ideas there. They're going to be a lot of help. I'll post up some picts of my progress as I get the parts done. Congrats on school. All the best on that. You'll be glad you did it when it's done.

Luna, Looks great. Can't wait to see the rest.

Thanks for the info. It helps a lot. I can't wait to see your patterns. I'm planning to use a lighter blend rather then 100% cotton bottom weight as most of my trooping is down here in South FL (a wretched hive of heat and humidity ). Still looking for fabric for my armour bridge.

Here's an update on progress so far. Most of the armor hard parts are painted and ready for weathering. Here is a link to some of the progress photos. http://s1212.photobucket.com/user/JW6350/library/Revan%202 I tried to post separate photos but the site kept telling me the files were to big. The ring is laminated from wooded embroidery rings, cotton cord and polyester resin. The color pict looks a bit dark. It's more of a silver/grey then it shows. The bracers are ready to be weathered and you can see the hinge and seam with the Velcro attachment. I plan to line them with thin foam so they will stay in place better without being to tight. The hand armor will be attached to the gloves with industrial Velcro. The mask is on the non-talking head and has been weathered. The head is a bit small but gives a fair view of the fit. I haven't decided if I want to clear coat the mask or not. No new photos of the front armor but it is ready for straps. Once I can hang it on the mannequin I'll be able to start on the back. About to start on the soft parts. I think I have the cape and hakama sorted out but still am having trouble with the caplet and hood. Any assistance with fabric amounts and patterns will be greatly appreciated. Also I'm still looking for vinyl/leather for the armor bridge.

Great. I have been going nuts trying to find reference info for the ring. Everything I've been able to find in the local stores that might work just won't cut it. Since I've got the measurements of the MWA piece I'm toying with making my own. I'd love to see yours.

Hi all. I'm Jack (Blood-dragon on the Boards), Everglades Squad, Florida Garrison. I've been hanging around Flagship Eclipse for a couple of years now and after many moons of reading and research, have finally decided to build a Revan. It seems that at present, Master Robs kit is the Holly Grail of Revan costumes. I would love to have one of his kits but have opted to DIY for several reasons. Being of slight build (5'9", 155) I am afraid that one of the WA kits would look like my fathers armor on me. There's also the "I did it myself" thing and the cost/wait time. I elected to fall back on some of my past prop building experience and build all of my hard parts out of chipboard/cardboard and resin. I have taken a lot of inspiration fro Lord Atrocity (Cuirass) and Draco (mask) in starting my build. Here's a link to picts of progress so far. Please feel free to comment. http://s1212.photobucket.com/user/JW635 ... an%20build
