Oh yes please!

I have been waiting for this moment! YES! I absolutely support this costume for a new CRL! Just make sure you match all the details in the statue properly. If you need any specific angles or details, let me know. She's sitting on top of my display case in my living room!

That's a nice pic, though we'd need a back to it, and that version would them move to another detachment.

Also, you'll have to add straps instead of the strings on the rings!

Yeah I experienced the same with my brother's Phasma armor. The issue was that if not done perfectly, any details or grooves get lost to layers.

The character would need to be shown as being an antagonist character in this exact version as step 1, and then cohesive references showing all 360° of details would need to be gathered before it could be given the green light of acceptability. It's kind of rough with switcheroo characters like this because certain versions are approvable, and certain ones are not. Examples would be Anakin with short hair being Rebel only and long hair scar version being both, or black suit Mara being 501st only and her green outfit being Rebel. The simplest way to decide is, "did the character act as the antagonist in the story by actively working against the, 'good guy' while wearing this outfit?" If that can be answered with a, "yes", then gather the 360° references and we move to step 3 of your build process.

First step would be to validate that they, do, in fact meet the requirements of being an antagonist character in the story, and then validating that a full 360° of cohesive details are available. If both of those can be done, then we can look at the character being added to the 501st and Detachment. 🙂

Just a head's up, we only have 1 active approved member with this costume, so specific assistance will be very limited. BUT, we can do our best to assist with any build questions.

Ooooooh! Crossing fingers for approval!

Good luck!

Greetings! We don't have specific places to get parts for the majority of TFE costumes since they're rather niche. If this is a version that does not currently exist in the 501st approval list, then your best bet is to break down the parts needed with references, and then begin a research thread on what you have found. From there, people can offer existing advice on what you have found as available real-world translations for fabrics/parts/etc. Also, before starting, you'll want to make sure you have a full 360° of detail of the character in that version you're looking at as it is required to validate approval details against when submitted. Just remember that you can't mix and match with other versions to fill in any missing details. I will mention, the uniqueness and specialty status of our characters in the Detachment makes things like the research phase of laying out and bringing the character to life that much more difficult, but is also what makes the finished costumes so much more amazing.

Greetings! Glad to see you here and excited to see the Nihilus in progress.

You can always talk to Gio, the resident Legion custom boots maker, about them. I think he made the other ones.

I believe that was sourced from the concept art photo with the high res references.

I would love to see additional species in the detachment! The only factors are making sure the 360° details are present, which the quick scan of the above seems to cover. It will be difficult to use both figure and comic, so make sure you take that into consideration with mapping out the details.
