very nice sabers. what make are they?
Sorry, I haven't absolutely understood your question. Do you mean who made it? My friend from Finland. He's not "professional saber-maker" - his hobby is electronics and sometimes he makes sabers)
Cloak and hood.
They are one color, I just haven't the best camera on the phone.
I love knight's cloaks and I incredibly like their hoods. For this reason, I spent a lot of time to find a suitable fabric. I like when things are realistic, so the cloak - with an admixture of wool. It's a little bit heavy, but but it fits and drapes well.
I love the idea of a collar and hood. I had to break a head to think about how it should lies and how to make min visible stitches.
I know that the hood is usually not required, so that the hood is fastened separately.

Thank you Alan.
Few pic of saber
I decided to be Marasiah Fel (not a surprise, , yes?
) - she has Arctic blue blade. But also I want use armour for my own custom IK char, so I have silver blade also. One saber - 2 colors

Hello! I decided to make Ik costume, but I have few questions:
Actually only 1 seller makes this kits now. But, they don't differ in size. Only now seller did new size of chest and back wrap plates for girls smaller than Princess Sandy. But all the rest part stay the same. I know it, cause me and few other girls bought his kits and found that bracers are good for big man or we can use them as kneecap or something like that. Same situation with spaulders. In order to reduce the difference somehow, had to make the lining from batting. I suppose you imagine how hot it is.
I can't say, that we are too small - we have "standard forms" like 90-60-90 +|- few cm, but have not the highest growth
For example, today my smaller upper armor arrived. Note that the seller doesn't make all the other smaller parts. As you can see
Small one with standard spaulders
Standard one
Standard bracers
If you notice, on the shoulder and bracer are shaped patterns. In contrast to the armor of the same scout, there is no chance to cut it so as not to damage the overall look.
Is there any advice how tomake shoulders and bracers better? And what about soft parts - are they ok?
PS Sorry for bad appearance. Rainy day =(

After some more discussion with Thomas, the membership team, various PM's, and all of you, I believe
a revised version of the above "relaxed idea" is in agreement by all that I have spoken with.
Please let me know your thoughts on this:
SL = All Sith characters ... (Lord or not Lord makes no difference)
DS = Dark Force characters that are not Sith.
DZ = Characters that are none of the above.
I would have to perform another round of research, on each character, to be completely sure,
but I believe that right off the top... Visas, the various Strakillers, and Lumiya would head back.
I'm liking it.
Keeps all Sith together, keeps all non-sith together, no need to track down the smaller technical details in the future, and provides for easy organizing of those new characters that are inevitably on the horizon.
Thank you very much for this decision, Damian! Seems fair to all affected characters =)

Good day to all!
I just saw what had happened.
I absolutely don't agree with this decision.
First, I don't understand why the issue wasn't raised in the council? Why it looks like a whim a few people?
Secondly, why wasn't voting?
Thirdly, why nobody warned owners of such chars?
Well, in a quote Damien already have a contradiction:
these are the currently approved characters which are "non"-sith lords...Lumiya (Dark Lady of the Sith)
That is the Lady - it's not female analogue of Lord? This smacks of discrimination!
Exar Kun also suddenly has no title Darth. He is dark sider but not a Sith Lord? Ludo Kresh, Freedon Nadd.
I currently do not have a dog in this hunt, but I have had Lady Lumiya on my list for many years. As a "Dark Lady of the Sith" and the progenitor of Darth Caedus, I would hope that she is not disqualified as a Sith Lord.Already did
Sincerely, Alyona

Good day!
Today I saw new q from newcomer who would like to make costume of Lord Hethrir
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Hethrir
He wanted to know what images it is best to use for this costume?
Thank you for your help.

Hello there!
I wanna to introduce our achievements on the costume of Jacen Solo. Requirements on the costume we haven't found, so act according to conscience. I'd love to hear some comments and observations to help the owner of the costume to improve it and become a member of the Legion.
By the way, Jason's lightsaber is also present and it works. Photos more closely will come later.
Thank you all for your time and help.

Here is the final summary of my Lumiya costume.
Sorry for the quality - I made these photos at home, not in studio.

I think I should summarize what I have. Images can be clicked to see higher resolution.
The pictures above shows a high-heel shoes, but I have made silver ballet-style slippers. Also I have made lines on my chest armor like on original Lumiya's armor. In 12 hours I will make full photos of my costume with flat shoes and lines on armor.
-
Hello again)
Thanks, Daritha
Here you can see what we have done with the shoes. Image is clickable for higher resolution.
And we have completed the chest armor.
-
Hello again)
I have finally solved the problem with the shoes.
Should I make a photo of me with them on, or it will be better to do it later, when all other parts will be approved?
I'll send photos of armor in a few days. We repainted it and now it should dry out.
-
Hi again!
Here are photos of stockings without heels.
P.S. Obickay, it's okay, I just realized)
-
I think a misunderstanding occured in our conversation... =( In this topic I had already added links to photobucket gallery of my costume: http://s1063.photobucket.com/albums/t50 ... ik/Lumiya/
-
Err.. And what is this?)
-
Thank you for your comments, Katie!
As I said, it is possible to wear only stockings, so it will looks like sole shoes. That's how I went to the Con, when the legs needed a rest from high heels. If you want, I can make a photo of me without shoes.
As for the armor, I can make grooves on it, like on right shoulder part.
I failed to understand what you mean with the chestbox. You mean that buttons should be raised, not flat?

Hi everyone!
My name is Alyona, 23 y.o., I'm from Saint-Petersburg, Russia.
I want to present you my version of Dark Lady Lumiya. Here are my photos with reference pictures.
Headpiece is based on The Essential Atlas close-up picture of Lumiya
Here you can see my headpiece. It is removable and not connected to the chest armor, neck is hidden by the cloth wrapping, like on Atlas picture. Helmet is made of tin-plate and wrapped by dark grey cloth with metallic gloss.
My natural eye colour is brown, so I wear three-colour green lenses. You can also see a scar.
Bodyglove is made from elastic black material. Curcuitry is done with acrilyc cloth marker, that's why it's relief, not plane. Here are photos of bodyglove: click, click, click.
Circuitry is based on two comic pictures of Lumiya:
Stockings were one of the most difficult parts and I had to remake them a few times because varnish and rubber didn't fit good and looked awful. So we chose this variant. Stockings covers full feet, so it can be worn without shoes and that will look like most of Lumiya's pictures, where she doesn't have any shoes or heels. Nevertheless, there is one picture of Lumiya, featuring platform shoes:
so I decided to have platform shoes because I'm having some problems with flat sole shoes. That's why I have two variants - with platform shoes of without them, just with stockings.
Gloves, belt and chestplate with shoulder parts can be seen on every photo of my costume.
We decided not to fix chestbox like Vader's one (on a neck belt) because it's not similar to pictures and not to sew it on bodyglove (we were afraid to harm very expensive and delicate cloth), so we tried to make chestbox very lightweighted and fix it with magnet. Chestbox is based on this picture:
Lightwhip was originally 6-meters length, but it was so heavy and difficult to operate that we cut it down to 3 meters. Grip is made of steel and aluminium, whip itself consist of 4 parts: blue LED tape, silver thick industrial rope, 2 steel cables and 2 leather tails with metal rivets and snake tongue tails with metal plummets. Here you can see it closer: click, click, click.
If you want, you may see full gallery of my costume on photobucket: click.

Thank you for your answer, Thomas!
To make new armor pieces by myself seems an obvious solution, but I even don't know how should I make it. I have some plastic, but it is very soft and suitable only for simple forms. It would really helpful if you could point me to the possible variants of making new ones.
