[Sinya WIP]

Another update. I've been working on the tonfa blades, the vambrace, and the bracelet.

I did a makeup test just to see how to do things and what I might need to get.

I still have more work to do on the lekku and headpiece. I'll be posting those as I go along. I have already gotten the boots.

 

 

And the material and patterns I will be using for the outfit.

Last night I worked on the lekku wrappings.

 

 

 

I weathered the leather with a hand sander and stiched everything together.

I made another template for the soft leather parts.

I wet molded and heat dried the leather to form.

Then I made a template for the cheek guards.

Stiched together.

 

 

Stuffed with the armature wire threaded into each lekku for shaping.

Then I made a template for the base using plastic wrap and duct tape on the head, cutting it apart, and transferring onto the material.

Cut out.

 

 

Stiched.

First I started on the lekku, since this seemed like the most difficult part to tackle. I did a lot of research to see different kinds of construction and made my way from there. I bought white vinyl, foam, fiber fill, and armature wire.  Then I built up the foam head for better shaping when I did my template.

 

 

 

I measured how long the lekku would have to be to reach the desired length and gave myself a few more inches to compensate for sewing and stuffing.

I'm working on my Sinya build as my first costume for 501st approval. I thought I would share the progress I've made so far.

Hi Sheri'!   You would be the second Sinya in the 501st then.  That is quite exciting.  We also only have 2 Mother Talzin, but each of those three costumes are quite great.  We'd love to help you as much as possible and transition you from Cadet to 501st Member as swiftly as possible.  Glad to have you!

 

Thanks. I did peruse the Mother Talzin threads. There's a lot of good information there. I saw there wasn't much for Sinya, but I think i'm doing well so far. I have a lot of great help within my Garrison. I guess I'll begin my own Sinya thread. Any suggestions or opinions would be welcome.

Hello. My name is Sheri', also known as Cypher Lx. I'm currently a Cadet with Garrison Carida and I'm working on my Sinya build. I also plan on a Mother Talzin build in the near future.
