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.

At the bottom of the post should be an edit button. If that isn't there, then it is an issue of permissions.

At the top of the page should be a "Moderation Actions" option. You can edit directly from there.

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. http://www.theflagshipeclipse.com/forums/index.php?/gallery/category/27-darth-revan-kotor/

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.

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!

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: http://facebook.com/mynocksden

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.

Looks good so far.

TFE folks! The Legion Census is live, so please go to https://www.501st.com/memberDB/ and go to "Census" to complete your mandatory information. As some folks have asked, you may have a, "Pending" listed on your TFE membership under your profile. This membership does not show up anywhere except on your personal information page and only affects your ability to vote in the detachment election early next year. I updated this list after the past election this year, and will be doing so after the census is completed in a few weeks, as well as in the months before the election next year to ensure everyone is able to participate. Please do not worry if you say, "Pending" at the moment, as part of the requirement for being a member of the detachment is being active in the Legion, so it makes my life 100x easier knowing that this requirement is up to date by waiting until after the census. To give you an idea, it requires cross referencing every single email listed in the Legion Database under Flagship-eligible costumes with every single email registered in the TFE forums to ensure the requirements are fulfilled, and when they are not (say, you aren't registered on the TFE forums, but are on the 501st DB), I send out emails to every single one of these people to let them know how to get back up to par with the requirements. Per the Legion Charter/Ops and Protocols requirements for Detachment Membership: "Formal membership, voting rights, and eligibility 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." Therefore, in order to make it easier for the cross referencing, I wait until the end of the census time frame, then go through all of the automatically listed active members who completed their census, and then use only those to complete the syncing of the DB and our forums. The TFE forum does not affect the 501st Legion DB, and the DB does not affect the TFE forum EXCEPT for the fact that registration on our forums and logging into it once a year are some of the requirements for the 501st Legion DB Detachment approval. If you are registered here on the forums and are logging in at least once a year, then I consider you a member of the detachment, and you get access to all of the non-election benefits such as the Membership Programs and Merch runs. The membership in the DB is merely an administrative parameter in order to make election organization easier. That does not mean that I neglect it, but it is fulfilled before any necessary actions are required. That being said, emails will be going out to those who are pending the week after the census ends to those who are not registered on the forums OR who have an email registered on the forums that is different from your 501st Legion information email so that I can get everything synced and sorted. Also, if you are able to log into your account and you are correctly listed as a Detachment Member, don't worry about the 50% account profile stuff. It is not necessary. You can dismiss it. Hope this helps!

So far it is looking good! Just smooth out the surfaces and you're rocking it.

Glad we finally got you on here! Excited to have you join us soon!
