  1. We found boots at second hand store. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
  2. Oh and pic of my wife and I in my Vader. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
  3. And yes it's a dual blade! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
  4. With tons of work, 3D print file from here and some saber parts from TCSS I was able to put his together. Came out so good and can't wait to add the other ring. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
  5. Ok I'm since there is some solid pics here instead of arguing. Great reference of the red under the helmet. Thanks for this! I too just pulled a decent screen shot showing this but yours is much better. I'll agree the knees have triangles, but they are obviously tonal from all examples given and from what I've seen everyone's are white. Also I made my wife's gauntlets light up. Great addition, they defiantly light up in the show and look super cool. Single mini led, watch battery and tiny switch. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
  6. I'll make some last comments and I'm off this thread. -Clone troopers also bend and move in the cartoon as noted as TK's. in the movies it's armor. Pick a lane and make it look like the cartoon. CRL doesn't matter as it's new and people are still working on making better details. (We are making improvements constantly) -noted on the triangles on knees.Easy add and they are tonal black on black which is why you can see them sometimes and not other times. I'll add them to my wife's. -leg armor. I think you can go either way as long as it looks good and proportionate to the cartoon. Isn't that what a CRL is? A guideline, not a definite rule. -red inside helmet. It's so unnoticeable who cares. I have so many screen grabs and you can barely see it(same as triangles)Easy add though, but I prob won't do it. -now to get to the uncomfortable part. To get this detailed about this then let's get detailed. Her clothing is skin tight. She is tiny. Everything is painted on. It's almost impossible to get this to look exactly like the cartoon. Concentrate on the major details. Make it look awesome. As any new costume, there will be adjustments for accuracy. Be proud of your costume. Go troop for the kids. People love my wife's Seventh Sister. There's only a few out there. Good luck everyone! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
  7. To expect to get an exact replication of a cartoon in real life is where the need to relax comes into play. You're not going to get 100% replication of a animation. Try to get as close as possible, that's all you can do. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
  8. It's a cartoon. Relax. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
  9. The inside of the helmet being red I think is glare from certain scenes. The triangles are not in every scene where you can see her knees. It's a cartoon. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
  10. it carefully goes over her head and the side overlap and velcro. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
  11. My wife is approved! DS-77787 of the Southern California Garrison. Overall we worked very hard to make everything fit as tight as possible to mimic the cartoon. The gauntlets alone took me some time to get them just right. Max's sci-fi creations in LA did the soft parts and hand sculpted the chest armor. Helmet by IM_Echo Greeblies from JawaChopShop Some adjustments I'm still doing. -Her gauntlets now light up. -Next up the belt lights. -Lightsaber construction is almost complete. -minor jacket tweaks.

  12. @jawachopshop on Instagram makes the armor. The oval is just paint. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
  13. Couple more pics. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  14. After a year of developing and constructing, we have my wife's SS. Still working out some little details for submission, but she got it and gave it a test run tonight. Looks amazing and she is sassy! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  15. IM_Echo in Instagram. He has a Etsy too. pretty sure he is the only one making the helmets. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  16. Went to disneyland and saw the best SS I've seen there. The soft parts fit the wearer very well. Such a great character. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  17. I agree. It says armor but the CRL pic is definitely leather.
  18. The CRL is live! Not entirely convinced of some details but it's nice to have a base to work off of! Congrates to the approved! http://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:DS_Seventh_Sister Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  19. I dont know much about the process, but I've seen on other costumes a group discussion thread laying out CRL's that are debated and written as a group. For some reason there is some sort of "race" to be the first SS. It really doesn't matter in the end though. I've been told that initial CRLs usually end up being revised many times as more detail comes to light. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  20. This is awesome! Would love to see more? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  21. I think you look great! The soft goods fit really well. That's the tightness I have been thinking. Very little material bunching. I'm not sold on the leather armor, but it does look good. Well done. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  22. Look cool! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  23. I believe it can be tight, not skin tight, but no loose material. Just needs to be made with the right materials and fitted to the wearer.
