  1. Just an update on progress on my Dark Apprentice/Jedi Hunter for the last few weeks. I've cut out and shaped the armour plates (used a thinner foam so this is version 3) to be attached to the leather gloves. Does anyone have any suggestions for how to coat the foam and make it more ridged? I've watched a youtube video on using a smoothcoat product but it looks expensive and possibly for people with more experience. Have to source a good local leather supplier to progress any further with these so I moved onto cutting out the shoulder armour. This is the template form the game skin files for the shoulder armour, it looks like there is a collar piece that might help keep the hood to a good shape. At this stage i've cut the main piece of the armour and hopefully will start the smaller pieces and the collar piece this week.
  2. Thanks for the tips Amidala. I've done up a mock tunic and hood using a pattern fabric which I was able to pin to see how it would look. So far it looks ok but I'm going to try making the hood using some red material I have (a bit concerned about how it will fall with how heavy it is). I've never heard of Sintra before, so I'll have to look into that. One of the local members suggested EVA foam as a starter so I might look into your suggestion since it sounds like it would look more solid when finished. I've been umming and ahhing for a long time about this costume so it will probably take a while to get all the bits and pieces together. I've probably driven my partner crazy with how obsessed I was with the project the last few weeks (first handmade project anticipation), I went and found the skin packs from the game so that will help with getting the shape of the armour right (hopefully) and helped reinforce how things look and fit together. Thanks again for the help and I'm sure I'll be asking countless questions while I get this underway
  3. Hey Guys, Just started looking into starting to create the Dark Apprentice's Red Endor armour from the Force Unleashed 2 DLC. I thought I'd make a post here to see what everyone else thinks and any advice you guys can give would be great. This is the first costume I'll make all from scratch so I'm a bit newbie to all the sewing and moulding. Looking at the photos above and below for reference and I can see the following main things: Hooded red tunic (ankle length) which is split up the sides (at least to the waist if not fully) Brown leather sleeveless under tunic or shirt Shoulder armour (two layers near arms and attaches to chest and back armour) Three tiered plated chest and back armour which has leather straps joining the front back and sides Two leather belts, lower belt is possibly four layers? (possibly a black leather belt underneath, see back photo) Black pants tucked into boots Brown leather boots with four armour plates (with leather straps) Leather fingerless gloves with four armour plates extending up the arms (secured with leather straps) Two lightsabers (convertec clips) Pale make-up with faint veins Sith Eyes (not pictured) I have a spare pair of brown plain boots from my Anakin and have purchased some Red crepe (i think thats the name, same as anakin's inner tunnic) to trial the tunic. If anyone has any advice as to where to start or just advice in general that would be great. Thanks in advance Awoo (Aidan)
