  1. I love your progress so far! Surely, it is intimidating sharing your work online for the whole world to see but you know what? The rest of us are in the same boat! So you're essentially among nerd-family I've worked with Worbla a lot - it can be very fun! Hope you're liking the material so far! Just be careful when sanding it -- as you now know, Worbla activates when it reaches a certain temperature so when sanding just make sure to work slowly and carefully As for the rest of your work ... Lekkus: the paint job on your lekkus are fantastic! Very clean work! Bikini Top: I'm always curious how people keep these on?! What's your secret!! And my current project of Cad Bane keeps me gym motivated too wizard to motivation!! Belt: always good to have a sturdy belt! Bracers: the bracers look pretty metallic to me! Are these Worbla as well? For sharing sake, if you were curious about what others might have used, I personally love using Rust-Olleum: Metallic Accents. Applied with dry-brushing for weathering!! In total: Although I'm not a Darth Talon expert, I think you're doing a fine job keep at it and don't be afraid to continue trying new things and expanding your horizons!!
  2. Yo! Personally, I attached (sewed) the hood, caplet, and cape so that they are all one piece. The combined trio is clasped to the front of my armor (with the accurate clasps) and the hood stays in place with velcro (on the inside of the hood) attaching to matching velcro on the top of my mask! I can take pictures of how I attach everything on my Revan if you'd like - just let me know!
  3. shoes, shoes, let's make some shoes

  4. Love it!!!!! Your attention to detail is superb!
  5. The parade ... I still have no idea what happened lol that would be my only complaint - parade was managed poorly/little communication. Yes! I think that's supposed to be the Rebels Vader. You are also correct on the Maul Trooper -- up close it looked really well done. The black armored clone is Darman the clone commando also my friend Steve lol looked like last year there was more costume variety!! Oh well maybe next year
  6. Posting my own pics is going to take soooo long SO HERE'S A FANTASTIC SOLUTION! with probably better photos anyway lol Kaminsky Kandids Photography was at the Joliet event and took some splendid shots! Here's the link on his Facebook page of all 400 + pictures (I'd link his personal website but these pics are not listed on there *sad face*). https://www.facebook.com/KaminskyKandidsPhotography/photos/?tab=album&album_id=840994179365205 These pictures include fabulous shots of --- ~ Mando jail cell and Mando car (I'm so proud of my best friends *single tear*) ~ lots of exquisite costumes I fan-girled over ~ more costumes I fan-girled over but didn't get captured on camera (there was an awesome Sidon Ithano there!!) ~ parade shots ~ group shot in front of the library ~ cool things (such as the sweet merchandise) I either couldn't find or couldn't see (mask prohibits vision haha ... er, and breathing too) Here's a great video of the parade as well! This as a superb troop! 10/10 would troop again!:
  7. Fastkev I have pictures!! I've been lazy ): I'll post those on the site photo dump and link in this thread I'll try and do that tonight but I'm gone 12 hrs most work days :T
  8. WOW what a creepy-cool character!! For being limited with supplies I still think this looks pretty BA.
  9. Sweeeeet I thought I was going to be the only Revan! If I see you I'll have to give you a Revan bro-five lol
  10. Just started playing SWTOR - goodbye life.

  11. Cool! You going as Revan also or a different character?!
  12. oh wow it's really coming along!! It's like weathering regular outfit pieces to look "aged" ... but you're doing it with a face ... which is epic. Love it!
  13. When you know you should be working on your costume ... but that anime just looks too good.

  14. FastKev -- hope your trip goes well!! There are always other events! I will take tons of pics and post them for sure!
  15. LOVE Free Comic Book Day troops -- fav one this year so far and a total nostalgia bomb - met the 501st last year at this event in my area :) now I came back this year as one of them! SPREAD THE BAD GUY LOVE!!

  16. Heeeey forums! I'm curious as to who else from the Flageship Eclipse is planning on attending the Joliet Library Star Wars Parade on June 4th (in Illinois)?! There's no specific convention or large event area on the forums so I thought it wouldn't hurt to ask ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Stay classy, forums!
  17. Right?! Looks like Maul and the trooper (on the couch) are on a talk show LMAO Host: Soooo ... what's it like being a Sith Lord?!" Maul: *silence* *laughter track plays*
  18. Yasssss! While pics can never, truly portray some of the more highlighted points at a troop those are still some great shots!!
  19. What a great May the 4th!!! Woke up to Celebration '17 dates blasting my FB feed mmm let games begin!!

  20. Lmao goober!!!! I totally get the hakama problems but where there's a will there's a way!! I did DDR in Revan at ep VII movie premiere lmao that was so intense xD like it was super bad but so funny. And yeah our troop was across the street from a bar so some drunk came wandering over. A friend was with me but I guess that didn't stop him :/ he wanted the shiny - at least when I resisted giving him the saber he walked away and never came back errrrr
  21. I never get wacky requests because I usually do those kinds of things voluntarily!! Dancing as Revvy is always a classic but one time I did have a drunk guy try and take my lightsaber ): nooooo with low visibility in Revans mask I never even saw him coming either ... He sort of just appeared out of no where. It scared me haha
  22. Jeez who's THIS guy ;D haha glad to see you on the forums!!
  23. Wow this is looking exceptional!!! I love it!!!
