The face mask looks too wide. Look side by side with screen shot for better representation. This looks like some kind of 3D print?

Is there enough heel on the boots? They are a bit high on the pics I've seen and the red stripe you got to add goes across the bottom of the sole and top of the heel.

Yea the disney costume has alot of inaccuracies. Does look like the eye slots and surrounding eye "trench" and such were all based off the Disney mask and not the actual show's design.

The eyes/visor area are all wrong. There is no indentation across the eyes like that. The eye slits also are shaped wrong, they are supposed to be sloped at a downward angle, they do not cut into the bottom of the mask. Also missing the indents on the forehead. This is a good clear close up of the mask details and how the eyes are supposed to look. https://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/starwars/images/a/a9/7th-Sis-and-5th-Bro-clash.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20160110094939

Glazing putty is your friend for quick fixing little air holes and pockets in molds and abs paste.

I would just use super glue to be honest. Most two part bracers and such for armor kits like on TK's we use super glues on, cured much quicker and strong enough. E6000 works better on parts that might have a some flex to them, as it doesn't turn hard and brittle like super glue can. Bracers should slide on and off, so super glue works best, I personally love gorilla glue brands, super strong.

It varies scene by scene. The arms also flex in the show, so accuracy is not 100% on using the plastic armor, the models in the show are not stiff armor, the Clones in Clone Wars had same issue in that you had armor flex and twist in some scenes, something real armor can't do. Same image on the right arm you can see she has more than enough room for elbow flex https://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/starwars/images/b/b5/Seventh_Sister.png/revision/latest?cb=20161107033246

Accurate length for armor is really based on the person wearing the armor. If the arms are too big for you wife, then cut them to fit her. The arms have no special curve for the elbow so you should probably have the whole end trimmed down to match. Sister on the show has ample elbow room to move, so if needed trim your wife's armor down.

Belt looks fine, lot of the buckles I've seen people use are way to big looking compared to the show references, the buckle was not that big. Yea there should be the smaller belt loop on the side which is where the saber is supposed to attach to. We made a small belt loop extension that velcros underneath the main belt. The CRL is kind of a mess, it was posted up with conflicting wording and pictures of the model used, and there is stuff that I think is still wrong and has been discussed. Really best thing to do is talk directly to your GML for what they say on these things, as right now we are seeing Sister's being passed depending on how the GML sees it, and not exactly like the CRL shows or states.

My wife's bracers have no seam, like our TK bracers, she can slip them on and off, you got to make the wrist cuff area wide enough for your hand to get through and out of. Wife's sister was made before the CRL was posted, and in the show there was no seams on the legs or arms, so she built hers to be seamless, but then the CRL came out and they said seams are ok.

The armor should never become "soft", if so you've heated it way too much. Using a heatgun and flexing it to shape and hold several times slowly is safest way to mold. The arms on that armor are massive for a woman, ton of work has to be done to make them fit sadly. If you do close up the seam on one side, you have to be very careful if you are leaving one side open to put on and off, as the "sealed" seam side can crack over time.

The approved 7th Sisters were done before Jawa Chop Shop put out any armor. So painted on will be fine.

Bo Katan for the CRL, they just added an optional helmet less section to the crl, they didn't make a new one.

For those who have asked about the sabergaurd for the 7th sister, the wife is making the file for sale now, or printing on a limited basis, if you are interested you can contact her or read about it here: http://www.501st.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=89688 Also made the greebles and belt buckle items which are part of her approved 7th Sis

I agree that it should be armor, and not a soft material. Hence the boots in the CRL being a soft material is odd when it says othewise. Even if a CRL is just a guideline to go off of and not super strict, the crl wording and pictures should not be contradicting still. The Disney one has a few minor issues I think, but overall good. Also the costume seems to be slightly different depending on park she appears in, and also they might have multiple copies of the costume in each park, as there is slight differences between them. Like in the above pic, the shoulder blade details on the armor are missing, it was same in Orlando, but then later they had the sister with the shoulder blades added.

The jacket is lined, the issue being brought up is that the CRL image has the red lining visible above the belt line. Nowhere in the animation, concept art, nor even Disney's own costume in parks have visible red lining. The red lining is only visible below the belt line. CRL image also contradicts in stating the spat cover over the boots should be a stiff material like the rest of the armor parts, yet it's obviously pictured some form of leather like material that is soft.

Wife just got hers approved! Guess she's number 2 now lol. Yay!

Ok, it's odd since this has been the ongoing discussion on the costume, and other detachments publicly discuss the creation of costume and CRL's with it's members. Have helped make one CRL and been in many discussions with others. And this is being done behind the scenes just seems odd. Costume has to be approved first by the legion LMO, then a CRL can be written up after that costume has been approved. Can others be approved still? Supposedly they can, but the GML's have to take it up with the LMO since he/she approved the first costume and has to approve of others without a CRL for the local GML teams to work off of.

Myratheon Cosplay claims she was approved as the first 7th Sister recently, and also that she will be the CRL model, is taking pictures. It is odd, cause where and who is making the CRL then? Why is no one else involved in the building of this CRL? From seeing the costume also, it looks to have various inaccuracies as well. My wife's 7th Sister is currently submitted to our GML's as well now for over a week with no word yet on any progress on approval. I think its very unfortunate that a CRL is being made without anyone knowing anything about it, or a detachment attached to it apparently. As for having not having a CRL, the legion doesn't require a CRL for a costume to be approved, my Deathwatch Mando from the Clone Wars for example doesn't have a CRL and it's approved costume in the legion. The rules are that a costume must first be approved by GML and the LMO, then after that, a CRL can be made. But again this girl claims she is going to be taking pics for the CRL, who is she working with? Where is this CRL being drafted?

The helmet should be lit most likely, but its hard to tell from show. On alot of the clone war costumes the lights have been made optional. There is definitely no blinking of lights, they would be on at best. The imperial transport pilots on Rebels have little red glowing lights on their armor, but they made it that it's not required, but going for optional. Seen Myratheon Cosplay's sister, pretty good. Armor is missing the shoulder armor points, also missing the spats around the boots

She has a CRL, so yea shes approvable

First troop with almost complete 7th Sister. Response from entire squad was great, but we want to do some more work on it before even attempting to submit it. Got to install the LED's inside the helmet (don't know if that will be required even), and the wife wants to make the ribbed neck like seal that is visible in the references. Wife plans on making the armor over likely in Sintra for upgrading, since we doubt the legion would approve soft armor potentially, but this was built for fun. Saber also needs the detailing added, which is in the works.

Clone trooper and Mando armor in the animated series also flexes and bends like its not hard armor, but they are required to still wear armor made of plastic and hard materials. Like the Deathwatch, their shin armor can be seen flexing and twisting as if it were fabric when they kneel. The animated series are not realistic, but it's up to the legion to decide what they believe is allowed, but just warning that they might not approve the use of soft armor.

Will soft/vinyl be approvable? Typically Legion only accepts hard armor. We are doing our first attempt using EVA foam that we are coating to look like plastic, but we don't think it's gonna get approved so it will be replaced with Sintra hopefully in the near future

This is the part I'm talking about, the red on the side flap should not be visible, nowhere in the series can you see red lining on the side of the sister. Only red lining is visible under the belt line
