  1. Please take a moment to go and check out your profile to ensure that it is up to date! The Garrison area may have issues, but it is beneficial to have the correct TKID and 501st link in your profile. Here are the directions to check and edit your complete profile from the desktop version. 1. Go to your name in the top right corner, and click, "My Profile". 2. At the top left of your profile page, click, "Edit Profile". 3. Go to http://www.501st.com/members/searchform.php and type in your TKID. 4. Click on, "more...." next to your name and copy the address at the top. 5. Paste this address into the 501st link area of your TFE forum profile.
  2. We don't call them, "figure flaws", we call them, "figure hurrahs". Don't ever think that a figure should limit the wearing of a costume (so long as social and public decency are still regarded and followed, of course). This goes for you too, Chris. I mean, you already have to shave for Makakili, right?
  3. ^yep, yep, and yep! If you like a costume, don't ever let approval stop you from making it.
  4. CRL completion requires photos for: *kidney armor If you have the costume and are able to supply images for the above items, please send high resolution images against a white background to TheFlagshipEclipse@gmail.com. Thanks!
  5. CRL completion requires photos for: *full front and back costume in NATURAL pose with no limbs blocking the costume *lekku and ear cones *body paint *armored bandeau *forarm and bicep armor *hand strap *gloves *belt *front buckle plate and straps *bikini bottom *leg armor *boots and leggings *saber hilt *armored headpiece *rear belt plate and straps If you have the costume and are able to supply images for the above items, please send high resoution images against a white background to TheFlagshipEclipse@gmail.com. Thanks!
  6. Yeah, the new CRL should be coming out here shortly with a clearer cut idea so as to keep everything more fluid and easier to understand.
  7. Without seeing a front view shot for proportions, everything looks really good! The mask came out nicely!
  8. Redeemed Revan would not be eligible for 501st, but yes for RL as he is a good guy at that point (chaotic good, but good, none the less). It is correct that the Shadow of Revan version, which is the embodiment of the Dark Side within Revan, WOULD be eligible. On the mask, no they would not be eligible for KOTOR as it is an entirely different design as seen below. The specifics are that the "nose" and "chin" areas are structurally different, and there is additional detail on the SWTOR version that is not on the KOTOR version in angles and cuts.
  9. Without seeing pictures, I can't say either way. Do you have images of the produced armor for reference?
  10. So long as you could hide them externally, I'd see no issue. The bracers have no details aside from those stripes, so whatever you could do and hide should work. Mine are literally conical tunnels with details added externally. I'll try to get a photo later tonight.
  11. http://www.theflagshipeclipse.com/forums/index.php?/topic/1739-darth-revan-upgrade-wip/ Here's the thread that I need to update but you can see the v1 bracers here. I can't get a picture of the full 360 right now, but essentially, it's a single piece that I slide my arm into. I can try to get inside photos to show the fiberglass and such later.
  12. COTF was also approved before current 360 rules were implemented and was an amalgamation of the box art, the minifig, and the inaccurately referenced Sith Legends figure that used parts of COTF but was not COTF, especially with its shoulder bells and split skirt style when it was still a rule of 3 for references. Technically, there should not have been an approvable COTF given that none of the references actually match and were combined in parts to make a single costume.
  13. I see the differences in the details, though I'm not sure that they are worth a new costume vs. alternative options to the existing KOTOR II. It doesn't matter much though unless you can get a full 360 degree view of it, as the back is an unknown.
  14. Greetings! I would say that the current red stripes above the eyes are too wide horizontally and come off the mask too much. The profile that Chris Avellone intended for KOTOR II was one of slim and flush design, almost flat, and the game files for KOTOR II mimic this. For approval, I would say definitely reducing the two things I mentioned. Otherwise, it is a beautiful mask.
  15. The hard parts are good, but need modification for approval, including changing out the rings and adding straps to them to attach to the underside of the armor instead of the string used. The bracers should also be a single piece and not two pieces with velcro, but if you are willing to do a bit of work, this can be fixed with attaching the two pieces then doing a repaint. The hard part comes in getting the correct metallic effect since you have to repaint everything if you paint one piece. Combining antique gold, brass, and just a dusting of copper got the color I wanted, and I did all 3 while wet. I ended up building my own armor yet still using his mask, ab fabric, and belt/sash setup because he did a great job with it, the armor I had from him just didn't fit me as well as I'd like with my female shape and hips. The soft parts need more work, and would be better getting the hard parts from MWA and soft parts from a tailor or seamstress so they are made correctly and just for you. The biggest issue is that the hood is supposed to be enclosed, but it is split, and very difficult to wear correctly to have that enclosed look and stay that way. The cape is good, the split skirt is moderate,just make sure you give a longer measurement so that the waist band is higher than your actual waist to it is completely covered by the armor and doesn't show under.
  16. http://www.theflagshipeclipse.com/forums/index.php?/forum/84-mara-jade/ This should be what you're looking for. Mara is a Dark Side Adept while Arica is a Denizen, so they are organized differently.
  17. Regardless of the outcome of the costume, as the XO and LMO have stated, we are more than happy to assist in any way we can, as WIPs bring forth knowledge from existing costumes, as well as opening the doors for new knowledge and techniques to come forth. We look forward to what you do!
  18. I say go for it. Whatever comes of it, it will at least be of help to others looking to build it, regardless of approval.
  19. I love this so much!!! Such a great story line and a great costume.
  20. I love love love love love this!
  21. There is talk of a new Detachment popping up that covers the shady characters with no designation, so we'll see.
