I used worbla for my armor, and I think a few others have done so also. I know some also use cut and burnished metals like aluminum (like those for purchase from Twilek paradise), but worbla worked pretty darn well for me and has held up so far. You could make worbla look more metallic via exploring painting methods. Since you're not wanting to stick with worbla, I'd say give the metal or pvc a try. I'm not an expert or anything though so take my advice with a grain of salt. Hopefully someone more experienced can chime in,but do let me know if I can help at all. Your painting looks super good on your skin, btw!

Newly Approved Members Post Here!!!
darth_ana replied to DarthValkyria's topic in Welcome Area and Forum Help
Hello from Timberline Garrison, SL-22031. I was approved this weekend. I'm not too sure what to post that doesn't feel super repetitive. I posted some more pics in my WIP thread, and made a couple albums. Hopefully they will help someone. Looking forward to learning more and improving my costume. Force Lightning -

Sculpted this out of Apoxy sculpt and JB Weld over a sink pipe. Working on an updated version with electronics. -

This is on my list of aspects to upgrade eventually. -

I sewed strips of faux leather together to create the lines. I hand sewed this to a black push up bra and glued in a strapless sticky bra to the inside of that. I then made a strap for the strap of the bra to slide in. It velcroes on the other side to close. -

To make the belt, I made a worbla buckle over a real belt on back and front. -

I actually changed out the rivets on the bracers and leg armor, which you can see if you zoom in on the pics in my other album. The new version has functional snaps. I'll post those pics when I haven't exceed my upload quota. -

501st/SLD and/or TFE Detachment Access Requests
darth_ana replied to DarthBrute's topic in Welcome Area and Forum Help
Hi, I hope I'm doing this right. I need 501st/detachment access. Profile link: https://www.501st.com/members/displaymember.php?userID=24128&costumeID=112 ID: SL-22031 Thanks so much -
Hi everyone and thank you! I use prosthetic adhesive to hold the lekku. They don't slip this way. also,Talon has a small red gap between the triangle and the main lekku tattoo in eh reference images I used, but I will double check it just in case I was remembering incorrectly. I do have some issue with the flaps near my ears staying on well, and they had to be reglued a few times during the shoot. Thanks so much for all your feedback. I'm excited to keep improving on this build (I already have plans to upgrade parts I'm unsatisfied with haha)

This is a little older, but I thought I would chime in. My top isn't as deeply plunged as Talon's seems to be in some panels, but it does the job. What I did was take one of those sticky bras with no straps like they often use under wedding dresses, and then I glued it into a deep plunge push up bra in black. I covered this with faux leather strips sewed to create the paneled look with hand stitching to the bra. Twilek Paradise has a really great tutorial doing mostly the same things. I can't remember the link off hand but if you google "darth talon armor tutorial" it should pop up.
