[Issues on WA Nihilus build?]

I have the WA COTF Nihilus and it is a fine costume very good quality work and I’m happy with it. Always keep in mind that a costume from a merchant isn’t always approvable you may need to make tweaks and changes yourself depending on what you GML says. For my Nihilus I had to change the skirt a little bit and dye my cape black as well as weather it just a bit more. If anything contact your GML and discuss with him about WA Nihilus. I love my Nihilus from WA and I troop with it. I hope this all helps and good luck on your Nihilus adventure.

[Feedback for my Nihilus.]

I have one skirt with two layers to it. I commissioned wicked armor to make my costume (because I tried to make my own and failed lol) I tweaked it a little do I need to make the split a little bigger.? Now that I look at it you can't really tell I have two skirts

[Feedback for my Nihilus.]

I think the cape should not fall over the shoulders that far.

You know your cape is falling on your arms. But it should only like rest on your shoulders and then fall on your back.

 

I did add soem velcro on my shoulders to keep the cape there and prevent it "from falling on my arms".

 

That is a very good idea. ill add that to my shoulders

Hi everyone! I was looking for some feedback for my Nihilus before I submit my pictures into the 501ST. Anything I need to change?

Thanks!!

[Tips for the Cape and hood?]

well going to try and do the two caps method. We will see how it goes.

[Tips for the Cape and hood?]

The cape and hood should be one single piece of fabric.  I used the guide from this site http://chucrew.com/Nihilus/nihilus.html  It has a great description of how to make the cape/hood.

Yeah I have been following that guide. it says there are two separate layers an inner cape  and an outer. Is that still 501ST approve able ?

[Tips for the Cape and hood?]

I have a crown piece that I bought that makes the shape of the entire head.

 

Yes this is what I have too. I got it off of Etsy from twilek pam. I added two strips of velcro that attach under my chin so it's like a helmet and then my mask goes on. How did you guys do the cape? Did you just get a big long piece of fabric and sewed it onto the shoulders or something? How did you guys attach the hood and cape together? This part is really confusing to me and i know deep down it is probably just very simple lol. Thank you all for the fast replies though.!

[Tips for the Cape and hood?]

Hey guys im in the final stages of getting my costume for Nihilus done in time for Celebration -Insert massive sigh of relief here-  I am going to tackle the cape and hood this weekend, Do you guys have any tips on how to go about this? Any suggestions on making it and putting it on the costume? Any help at all would be greatly appreciated thank you!

[Black Body suits?]

If you ever need to take restroom breaks then get a suit that will allow you to do so. I only have an undersuit for my FO TK. For Nihilus I have a long sleeve Under Armour used in football so it has a very small neck collar. Pants are black compression pants for hot days or black martial arts pants for windy days. I usually wear black martial arts pants anyways mainly because mine are rough and worn out from use. There no CRL requirements for these listed so I can understand the confusion.

 

 

 

Okay thank you!

[Black Body suits?]

Hey everyone just a quick question here. 

Do you guys wear black body suits /zentai suits under your Nihilus? 

Thanks!

[Tunic question]

Happy Sunday All,

 

I have a question pertaining to the tunics.

Are they sewn closed in the front or does the obi and the belt help keep them closed.

Thanks!

[My Darth Nihilus Champions of the Force Build]

Loving the saber, I am going to order one sometime in the future. I have those gloves linked up above and they are good gloves and are accurate. 

Can't wait to see your Nihilus!! You are making me impatient for mine to be done lol

[Darth Nihilus boots help]

Okay thank you all for the speedy responses!  

[Darth Nihilus boots help]

Hello all,

Would these boots be acceptable for approval?

I know they have that zipper in the bank. So I was curious if that would make them unaprovable 

 

Thanks!!!
