    Not in the pictures. I need to adjust that, but am wondering by how much. The CRL for this costume is odd to me in a few ways. It seems to contradict. It says rings on the breast plate but shows clips. It says the piping is visible just above the plate but then says the hood will be there. It says the hood encloses the face completely, but that is not the case in the picture as it dips below the armor just past the black portion. The CRL says the caplet is not pleated but every single one I have ever seen on an approved costume and the one in the picture is. Mostly I have been going by the pictures and other approved costumes more than the text.

    That's because the CRL was updated and before the photos could be uploaded, the hard drive that they were stored on was corrupted, so we are just waiting for new photos, lol.

    Otherwise, the main photo is updated and complete.

    So, for the outer dress, I’m using Oramask 813 translucent stencil film (four 20-foot rolls) and Oracal HT55 High Tack Transfer Tape. This combination works quite well, but be aware that there’s still a lot of work involved. I’ve tried other films and transfer tapes, and I could never get the stencil film to adhere to the fabric after transferring it from the film backing. 

    The black vinyl fabric I’m using now is not the fabric I used when I started this costume. It’s much thinner and drapes a lot better. The reverse side is also black, so I don’t need to line it. I found it hidden under a cutting table at my local fabric store here in Germany, so I can’t provide any details.

    Since the fabric has no weave or regular texture, I was able to lay the pattern pieces on it fairly close together, to minimize the amount of masking I need to do. I used a silver Sharpie marker to trace the cutting lines. 

    I’ll add more photos in the morning, to show the process involved with the stenciling. 

    This is exactly why I will not do a Visas unless there is a way to sublimate the design. Eff that noise, I would go cross-eyed and my OCD would kick in too much. I would never finish.

    It was an Ultrasabers saber, but I’m not sure how big it was supposed to be. I heard they have trouble with their rechargeable batteries exploding, and I’d rather not deal with that. 

    They also tend to be bulky in size and "dinky" in construction.

    Sooooo this is what I managed to pull up from KOTOR II. 720p was the best I could pull. I used the "NPC" stuff to make sure it wasn't custom stuff or mods.

    From what I can tell, they are the same hilt, so if you decide to go with the simple game file version OR the Star Wars Encyclopedia version, just make sure you have 2!
