I am still trying to find the name of the fabric I used. It is a pain in the ass to work with, but the fabric is lighter and has a nice sheen to create the draping effects seen in the game.

You were put as 501st with SLD, but corrected today to TFE Member.

I built mine out of wonderflex and fiberglass resin. Essentially the front is all wonderflex that was sealed and then the back is fiberglass tape layers coated in resin. I am going to be redoing it this spring/summer to be cold cast resin backed with fiberglass, but that is still a bit off.

Whatever............suits............. your needs. I couldn't help myself.

COTF is the bane of my existence when it comes to references.

He is not 501st approved, but with some modifications, it can be made to BE 501st approved. NO VENDOR is approved out of the gates.

Will there be 360 degree references? I am intrigued!

The pictures (thank you for sending!) have been sitting in the TFE CRL drive (along with about 14 other CRLs) and are still waiting for LMO action on it from last year now. We are doing what we can, but this isn't something we have direct control over.

Glorious! Don't shoot your ey........ you know what? You should be fine.

I am digging this a lot! I would love to see other versions of Revan approved. Good job!

I am not sure what fabric mine is made of, but it has a satin-matte finish that mimics the reflections seen in the game pretty damn well! I can ask my seamtress what we ended up using, but it was definitely a soft yet heavy fabric.

There are not any specifications other than black, to proportion that fits references, and enclosing around the ring.

My biggest factor is that the in-show boots have the covers reach all the way down to the sole along the back ankle and heel. This would pretty much make it impossible to walk if they were rigid material. You could take the, "but the clones and stormtroopers bend funny with hard armor, too!" aspect, but then it comes down to the point of making it look like it does in the show, and using what we have to be able to actually move naturally and without limitation.

We're trying to get these things fixed. Thanks to your guys' help, it should be a smoother process.

You can message me and we can go over whatever you need.

So long as it is a smooth texture that isn't knit looking and heavier fabric to facilitate the necessary drape, the fabric should work. There are some polyester blends that work nicely for a more affordable cost, but if you have the $$ and the fabric matches the necessary points, go for it!

Only if you're SLD or TFE.

Sealmess in structure with a seam facade, so a seam line. Meaning looks one solid piece instead of two halves, but has a seam line where it states. E.g. no overlapping.

Greetings and salutations, forum members! One thing that I want to stress and inform about in this post is Detachment Membership. As part of the detachment, you have access to many benefits not available to regular 501st members, but the benefits are not automatic. Per the 501st Operations and Protocols, "Formal membership, voting rights, and eligibility for office in a detachment requires that a Legion member be active, own a qualifying costume as represented by the detachment, and have the corresponding costume designation in his/her profile. The approval of said costume is, however, still the purview of the LMO. Ownership of a qualifying costume is verified annually as part of the Legion census. Membership in a detachment is optional, and you can be a member of more than one detachment. Membership is initiated by the Legion member when the above criteria is met and they register on the detachment's forum. Active status is maintained by logging onto said forum once a year. Failing this, the member becomes an inactive member of the detachment. All that is required to be reactivated is to once again log in." What this means is that, in order to vote in elections, you must have an active account on THIS forum (e.g. logged in within the last 365 days), AND be on the 501st Membership DB under the detachment roster. *NOTE* You do NOT need to be in the 501st Membership DB to buy merch or participate in Member Programs, but you DO need to be registered here and be at least Detachment Member rank. So, how do you go about completing these steps? Well, I'm glad you asked! Below is a quick and detailed setup to get you going. TFE Forums Membership First and foremost, make sure that your information is updated with your TKID, 501st link, and Garrison/Squad/Outpost unit. Go to Menu -> Account -> Profile -> Edit Profile You can find your 501st link by going to 501st.com/forumhttps://www.501st.com/holocron/member/search, logging in, and typing in your TKID. Click on the "more..." button next to your name, and when you are on your profile page, copy the link and put it in your TFE Forum profile under, "501st Profile". Do NOT copy and paste the generic results list. Once all of that is completed, you can then go to the Permissions Request thread and request Detachment Membership by following the directions: http://www.theflagshipeclipse.com/forums/index.php?/topic/1660-501stsld-andor-tfe-detachment-access-requests/ Just make sure you log in at least once every 365 days (more is ALWAYS a better idea ) and you will be set to stay as an active TFE forum member and participate in Membership Programs and merchandise. 501st DB Membership Now that you have the TFE part of Detachment Membership down, it's time to get your voting abilities locked down. Go to 501st.com/forum, click Quick Links drop down menu -> Member DB/Census -> log in-> YOUR PROFILE DATA -> Your Unit Affiliation -> Edit From here, you can add the Flagship Eclipse Detachment (if you aren't Pending already due to your GML adding you). *IMPORTANT NOTE* It is alright if you are not immediately added to the list! Myself and the Det XO check it regularly against existing TFE Forum accounts based on TKIDs (why the first steps were necessary) and then approve from there. The DB is only required for voting, and I can assure you that it is all updated before elections! At this point, you are 100% a Detachment Member of the Flagship Eclipse, and are eligible for ALL the benefits that membership offers! If you have any issues with the process, you can contact TheFlagshpEclipse@gmail.com and I can help you sort out any issues!

He does a custom combination for the finish. I ended up repainting the whole thing with my own combination when I still had his kit.

Congrats! Make sure you go here and request the correct detachment access here: http://www.theflagshipeclipse.com/forums/index.php?/topic/1660-501stsld-andor-tfe-detachment-access-requests/

Here is a good place to start! It is a good place to learn from those who have previously made the costume. http://www.theflagshipeclipse.com/forums/index.php?/forum/84-mara-jade/
