Hi You need to pull the hood more forward, it sits to far behind on top of your head, and I am a bit concerned that the catears are a bit to pointy looking. The knot in the front will need to be lowered a bit, as it should sit at your upper sternum. Skirts, cape and tunics, as you also state, needs to be shorten as per the CRL - but so far great work on it, you´re almost there

One learns to get creative in this hobby if it doesn´t hold, you can take a look at Pams page regarding the support hood that she offers ? just do a search on Darth Nihilus Hood – P&S Costume Creations.

The black fabric is glued on the inside of the white mask

@DarthValkyria any advices ? 😉

Thank you so much, this will help a lot of people

Very nice work - will you put the 3d file that you have created up for grabs in here ?

Hello Sadly WA is not selling the COFT mask at the moment and the 3d files, that I have seen all need to be remodelled. If you want to remodel the mask you have, you´ll need to redo the eyes, the holes are to big and the eyesockets will need to be shape better to look more skull like. This gentleman "Kaotiskt" can perhaps help you with a 3d file, since he has remodelled one and printed it for his own costume. He has a WIP on this forum called : Kaotiskts Darth Nihilus COTF WIP

Using masking tape like you already do - do notice, that the inner line towards the nose is straight down, as you have, but the other side has a little bit of flair towards the eye socket - I made a paper template for it, that way it came out the same on either side.

Much better - nice work almost there

Looking good, though it is not easy to tell, when I don´t have seen it on you. Depending on the width of your shoulders, I would suspect that you need to redo the armhole, so that you don't have so much fabric hanging under the arms. As the tunic is now, the shoulders will hang out and down the arms, which they shouldn´t. You can use your innertunic as a guide, the tunics should more or less be almost the same, just make sure, that you can sew the sleeves onto the innertunic without it showing from the outside, the outertunic therefor do need to be a little bit longer at the armhole, but not much. I´ve tried to illustrate it, red innertunic, yellow outertunic

Very nice work, almost there Yes, you can use burns as weathering, but do try on a piece of scrap fabric first, as to see how the fabric reacts and how fast the fire will be, so you can control it. Otherwise I made some small and a bit larger holes with a scissor and then used a metal brush (thanks to my longhaired cat) to get the frayed look on them.

Good that the tape is not a part of the mask, because it will fall of at some point. Well, regarding weathering, I´ve see some that are to little, and I have seen some who went over the top - as to using a grinder, I wouldn´t recommend it, as I think it will be hard to control. I cut some smaller holes around the bottom of the cape and skirts and used a steel brush (normally used for my cat LOL) to get the tattering to look "right", some also burns holes in the fabric, but depending on the fabric you´ll need to use a spare sample of fabric to see how it reacts to the fire (color afterwards etc.) Just do a little at a time, so you don´t over do it.

There are multiple sellers of gloves that can be used for Nihilus, it depends on ones budget The ones pictured can work, though I myself would look for something without the seam around the wrist, but it is approvable.

Much better, I would say you´re good to go for paint, though I am unsure if the tape will hold up on the ears in the long run.

The sleeves are sewn as normal sleeves, so the seam should be under your arm and the lines wont be able to line up there, but as long as they do otherwise, it should be fine. I don´t have a picture of it, but take a look at others WIP threads, perhaps one of those have one, mine do not, only shows how I attached it to the tunic. Just checked
