Ahhhh okay. I wasn't sure if Worbla was allowed in the making process. I will check with my GML. Would you still happen to have the pattern you used?

Haha, I am not a fan of that pattern to be honest. I have seen it modified and not modified. It is a nice pattern. Don't get me wrong, I have seen it ill fitting on a lot of costumers here in Australia. Already have a wig in the Fire Orange. Used it for Daphne Blake. Such a pretty colour. Love the colour that Pam used on the CRL. Matches nicely to the comics. How did you go with the leg armour?

REPOSTING THIS as some of the Links are dead and I have updated some of the information to my research!! Which is exciting! Mara I Plan on Completing PS. Yes I am aware the last one is a Fan Art! But it is a nice reference to have with the arm bands..... Wig **Updated** I am looking at a Wig Is Fashion in Pumpkin as the wig go choice! I am pretty excited as it is pretty much perfect for the job! Body Suit time! Planning on modifying this pattern that I have. It is a GSTQ Fashions pattern for Kotobukiya Rogue. The centre panel is a bit wide over the hips and needs to be brought in a bit more to allow for the diamond over the abdomen to sit on the pattern as pictured in the CRL. The pattern works very well. Adding the piping I will make to this will be the challenge; as will the diamond. Dropping the collar will also need to happen. The back of the suit also will have the piping along the centre panel. Shout out to Shutter for the photo! Material I plan on using with be from Cosplay Fabrics https://www.cosplayfabrics.com run by Yaya Han! It is the 4way Ultrapreme . Which is sold out at the moment, but that is okay. I am fine with that. Need to fine tune the pattern. Cowl and Gloves This is something I am not very good at making. I am looking at a cotton like material that will match the off white gloves I am going to be using for this Mara. Pattern will be the main issue. I may seek help from someone with experience inside the Garrison for this. Boots! **Updated** Found some wicked back boots from Horseland on recommendation from a 501st member in Australia! They come in a wide calf to make things a bit easier too! Shinpads and Kneepads..... I am in discussions with the GML about this at the moment as there is always much contention about this even on the Flagship Eclipse. There are so many different combinations that are used. I am wanting to make sure I get one that works or I hand cast and mould a set that are accurate to the T. From my hockey days I have noted some shin pads I want to use and the knee pads are ones I used when I skated as a kid. They come in adult sizing. Amazon is a life saver some days. Will post photos and info when I have run it all by the GML Leather Work Mac-Lace in Capalaba is where I will be heading on suggestion of Tachyon and Seantrooper as it is more accessible to me in South Brisbane. Belt and buckle for the belt will match in size as per CRL requirements. I managed to score a Harness and Belt from a USA 501st member to make things better! Arm cuffs will also be a feature for my Mara. Also matching leather and width of 1.5cm. Snaps will be used to allow removal and applications. Square-Nosed Holdout Blaster and Back Plate for Harness ***Updated** I have learned that this 3D print was not sanctioned by the 501st member whom originally designed her gun and have removed the tagged name and link to this item! I would recommend looking up Twi'Lek Pam on ETSY and buying her cast of the gun! I feel terrible I brought this copy of her work. So I will be sending all people to her store from now on!! Goggles Ebay has a list and host of goggles. None of which have the brown rimming to match the reference pictures I am using. But that is okay. A bit of leather paint on the leather and the rims and she be right. Planning on using an item similar to these Lightsaber It is not a requirement for Mara to be approved but it is something I want to have with me when I do. Jade Fire is the lightsaber that is based off Maras. It is through Sabreforge https://www.etsy.com/au/shop/Saberforge . Pricey but worth it. I do also have a Mace Windu for kidlets to hold if and when and ever this is approved. Thanks for sticking for the rambling and stuff. You did it once before in 2015, welcome to the madness of 2016 and the fun of 2017 when I hopefully get this all done. I await for the GML to reply to me on a couple things and hopefully this will be the start of some awesome fun along side my TB. -Chels

Hey Guys and Gals May have just started out but I am determined to get my second approved costume that isn't a super hero; first one being my TB. Star Wars was my first love thanks to my father and the Extended Universe is probably a fav part of it. I am aiming to get this version of Mara completed. I will Track Down more clearer photos and references. This is just one I have found of the many I will be sewing my own suit at this point as I am an avid seamstress and I specialize in stretch/lycra from my superhero costumes I have completed. I have a pattern by GSTQ Fashions that I used for a Rogue body suit. Anywho. Just some ideas I am throwing about. If anyone has some great ideas on black plain, low healed boots let me know. - Vicky (Aka. Chelsea) PS. I am freaking excited to get started. Did I mention that?

Hi I'm Chelsea from Queensland Australia; which is Redback Territory [emoji5]️ I'll be wanting to make a Mara Jade for the 501st here. I've been cosplaying for about 4yrs and I mainly work with nylons and superheroes [emoji5]️ Can't wait to be working for the 501st in Australia. My boyfriend is a TK and so many of my friends have a mix of Sand, TK and Scouts. So time for one of the group to be someone different [emoji6] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
