[Sokar's Revan build]

I was just linked these by another prospective member. Could also be used.

Boom!

Success.

[Sokar's Revan build]

I have no idea where I got them. I actually think I just searched Ebay for men's black square toe until I found a pair I liked, then I went over them with white shoe polish and a paper towel to get the grey effect. Granted, I found them 5 years ago at this point. 

 

They actually had a strap at the top, but I removed it and added the strap at the arch.

I'm working on a KOTOR version of Darth Nihilus, so I can get you images for the CRL once I'm done.

Woot woot!

Do you have any tips then?

I've seen snaps and velcro used.

[CRL To-Do List]

With the brand new inclusion of Galleries to the CRLs, I am going through every single CRL and adding one, regardless of if the rest of the CRL is completed. You can see a few examples here:
Ahsoka
Nihilus (COTF)
Nihilus (KOTOR II)
Darth Revan (KOTOR)

In addition to these, just to give folks an idea of what is planned for updates and completions of CRLs (that has not already been done in the slew we have already completed!), here is the remaining, "to-do" list. The easy (yet time consuming) part is adding the new gallery reference images. The not-so-easy part is getting photos for the costumes that still need photos filled. 

The parts in yellow are parts that I can not do myself and still need from people with the approved costumes. The parts in pink are parts where I am just waiting for folks to send their stuff.

If you can help with photographs of any of the yellow parts for main CRL photos, additional photos, or text updates that you see that I may have missed, please send me an email at TheFlagshipEclipse@gmail.com.

[KOTOR Nihilus mask]

Also, can you send me a link to where you can get this mask? The text is too small for me to read, but I want to add it to my list of makers for when I get asked where to get accurate KOTOR II masks.

The CRL should always be the first place you look, if you still have trouble then ask questions in the detachment.  That's what the costume mentors are here for 

Also, we are working to get them all updated correctly an accurately! We work with the LMOs, so when you have two teams that are swamped with to-do lists, things don't always go as quickly as planned/hoped for! 

But we are getting there, and our Mentors are DEFINITELY a great asset and tool to utilize regardless of CRLs as not every person is a cut and paste for each item!

Yes, that's something I'm working on modifying. I've tried safety pins and they just come undone. I've got some fasteners I'm going to try. Thanks for the info though!

Fasteners can be an absolute pain. Looks great, though!

So I cut out the pants from my final fabric and I'm gonna work on getting them sewn up today and tomorrow but I just finished my gloves.
My Sewing machine has a stretch straight stitch it looks a little bit like a lightning bolt, I'd suggest if your machine has it to utilize it for these gloves. 

This is the pattern I used since my red fabric doesn't stretch a lot I cut it on the bias and went up from the S-M I am to the L-XL that worked better.

As you can see, I used View H, and then just tapered the wrists in order for them to fit better. 

They're done, I'll hem them later but for right now they're complete and they fit!

When I sewed them up I tapered the fingertips into points, usually, my nails are pretty long, a couple of them are short currently, but that will help it really have that pointed look. 

Yay! Points! Just a heads up, I added the part to the CRLs for the square/rectangle thing on the back of the gloves. Photos will be going up shortly for it.

Yes, I have a Wicked Armor COTF Nihilus costume and it was approved with no problems. I didn't use the hilt because it's just a prop and non functional. So I bought a real one. The mask was the correct one and all I had to buy was boots. 

Make sure you keep the hood/cape part pulled back over your shoulders!

[Nihilus Tunic]

Since it gets confusing depending on which point of view people are talking about, just remember that as you are wearing it, your left side should be on top of the right side.

Update, removed the strings attaching the rings and replaced with leather.

THIS MAKES ME HAPPY TO SEEEEEE.

Also, do you have both a front and back set or just front?

[Sokar's Revan build]

Yes, it is in editing phase. The photos that were going to be used were lost before upload.

If you look at my WIP, you'll be able to see things as they should be.

Please, PLEASE do NOT do pleats on your shoulders or in the back of the hood when you make your soft parts!

[Names Called While Trooping]

My favorite one to date is a dad who, when trying to explain who I was to his young son, called me, "That one Jedi dude from the Battle of Endor".

[Trooper looking to access his Sith side - Starkiller Sith Robes build]

The parts not in direct light show it really well! I think it looks great. 

[Starting Revan]

The armor has straps that feed through holes in my shirt so it's a seamless/strapless looking system.

[Trooper looking to access his Sith side - Starkiller Sith Robes build]

Camera phones are not good for capturing that sort of thing, but I see the weathering. Looking really good!

[Tiggerrr's Savage Opress WIP]

You know, there is a certain Savage CRL that could do with having photos taken and used in it after approval......

Just sayin'.......  

[Trooper looking to access his Sith side - Starkiller Sith Robes build]

I used regular craft paint on mine. So long as you aren't covering huge areas with solid sections of the paint, it works pretty well. You  can also slightly sand the pleather and it will give the paint more grip. Just don't go too crazy or you will get spots instead of grime.

[M's Seventh Sister WIP]

Communication is key! Glad it worked out in the end, at least.

Too bad in this hobby the, "hard" aspect of it sometimes turns out to be just basic financial transaction malfunctions. Being ripped off shouldn't be a factor in the difficulty of making awesome costumes!
