Good luck on your build!

Fantastic! Will be excited to see this finished.

I'm excited to see this one!

It's looking good, but just so you know, the mask version you have should not be approvable with the flat bottom near the chin. That model was a fan- made file for your game and is not the original model. It needs to have the two "prongs" at the chin to be KOTOR style.
-
Sorry for the late response, school has literally been killing me.
Things look good, though I'd say to make the shoulders a bit less pleated and more gathered, and make sure not to make the bottom of the mask flat. That model is not acceptable as it was a fan-made file mod to the original game (make sure you have the points at the bottom like the v1 you made).

Thank you
in fact there are trousers. Such type of pleats give an illusion of skirt, but when a person moves, split is visible. So I wonder if only skirt is an option? It could be either skirt or trousers in hakama style - in both options there will be visible opening.
The hakama style wraps around the legs, while the skirt style does not. to date, no reference has shown the wrapped style to exist, which is why i am phasing out the hakama style.

It will not be optional come full revision.
The rolled pleats look great, just make sure the skirt has a split down the entire length on the front and back. No solid skirts for approval.

They look great! Pam does some fantastic work.

Congrats to you! Welcome to the detachment

Hello and welcome!

Glad we were finally able to get the issue fixed for you.

Try again and see if it works. It looks like it was tied to the time frame of the post and not your permissions in regards to editing.

I only have the options of Hide and Delete. Could be a permissions issue. Maybe I'm not crazy, ha ha.
At the bottom of the post should be an edit button. If that isn't there, then it is an issue of permissions.

That was my initial way of thinking but for the life of me I can't see where I go to edit the original post.
At the top of the page should be a "Moderation Actions" option. You can edit directly from there.

Quick question, I started a WIP over in the Sith Acolyte section back when Photobucket was usefull, now that they are dead to me is there a way to edit my existing thread and update all the pictures so they can at least be viewed? I was going to start all over but if I can fix my original WIP by just updating the pictures it would probably be easiest.
Thanks for the help.
It should just be an issue of replacing the links with ones that aren't photobucket hosted, so that should save you time in rewriting everything.

I would love to have your assistance on the CRLs given that you are so popular for member's purchases. It would help make the job of accuracy and approval that much easier!
The folded over sides of the hood that your current one allows gets the job done, but I only ever see maybe 1 out of every 10 Revans wear it like that, and so it just goes to the upside down "V".
Oh! I was thinking of an entirely different spot from what you were talking about! I agree that there is definitely a different color there, but I am unsure still as to how to interpret that. The way I did the bottom part was to dirty up the red fabric used for the sash and include it as it matched the color of the sash in the reference images I got from the game. In regards to having to be fabric, that is up for optional, but I think that there should definitely be a strip there that differentiates it from the main plate.
A wider plate would be great as I am always being messaged by potential recruits who are female and have wider hips.

If you go to the Darth Revan Gallery, there are images for reference of size proportion of the pleats on the cape, sash, and split skirt, but numbers are not defined. Also, there are no pleats on the hood or the shoulders. It is gathered fabric.

Looking forward to seeing the build!

Forwarding this to the LMO so she can see it!

Make sure to not make it "too" copper. An antique copper would help cut some of that roughness of straight copper and avoid you looking like a pipe.
The paint I used for mine is an underlay of pure copper and then antique gold and brass dusted on top to cut the harshness and redness of copper by itself.

The mask looks big proportionately to you and the armor, but the rest seems good.

Hi, it's Rob from Wicked Armor. Nice upgrades!! It looks like you even added details to the plastic armor which is impressive. What did you use for that? I especially like the lip at the bottom of your hood. I might start making that standard on mine when I get around to releasing my v2 costume, which I am hoping will be in December.
I think the color at the bottom front of the torso is brown, matching the coloration on the back of the armor, which is something I am likely to add on the v2. I am working on new torso armor and an improved mask now and already shipped several v2 bracers and hand armor.
Clasps at the top of the chest piece have been required for a while. I used to use rings there, myself, but someone in the 501st changed it on me years ago so they all have clasps now. I agree that it looks more like a clasp on the game model.
I use silver cord (although I need to find a thicker one) to hold the large rings at the bottom of the armor because you can see a little silver detail coming down from the torso in the game model.
I always thought the boots were a bit metallic looking. I dry brushed mine with silver acrylic.
I have made a smooth large ring with middle depression, which I have started shipping, but what are the ab and kidney plates you mentioned needing to build?
If you guys are cool with the upgrades, I would be thrilled if we could update the CRL after the v2 is finished. I'd be happy to help as I did with the original.
The armor, for now, is just Wonderflex that was draped over a mold I made of my torso, then backed with fiberglass and added worbla for the details. Makes it super light and mildly flexible, but I still want a more sturdy setup, so come the beginning of next year, it will all be redone in resin.
The lip of the hood was a pain in the ass to get exactly how I wanted it, but I think it adds a silhouette to the costume that makes it look like the game files.
The torso color I think is just an effect of the variance in the multitude of metallics that are on it. If you look at the game screenshots in the gallery, that front part changes with angle and lighting a lot http://www.theflagshipeclipse.com/forums/index.php?/gallery/category/27-darth-revan-kotor/
Yeah, I'm not sure why the clasps were added as all of the references show them as round rings with a small strip attaching it to the collarbone area of the hood/shoulders. Though, in the next few weeks, the CRL is getting a HUGE makeover that includes that in the details, so base requirements will be back to the ring style.
The ab and kidney plates that I had listed in my original post were the parts that I had not yet finished building, but have since built out of the same wonderflex/fiberglass set up to match my torso profile better. It meant having to repair everything for the 50 billionth time, but I think it was worth it for the better bit on my damn hips.
I will be looking forward to seeing your V2 stuff come out!

Does anyone know where I can get a hold of this armor? I would like to build this as my first build.
Mynock's Den is going to be releasing an ABS set of the armor here soon. You can keep an eye out for the start of orders on his FB page here:

The armor, itself, it pretty good, though you will need to switch out the rings at the bottom as Blackrock said, and use straps to attach them rather than the strings that they come with. Also, the soft parts are bare minimum level for approval, so I would recommend looking into getting custom soft part made in the future that are more accurate.
