Hi congrats on your approval and very nice build

The fabric looks very shiny - could be the light. Looking forward to seeing it all together

Hi sorry I´ve been of the forum for a couple of days - nice to see you in here. Have you read the CRL for this costume ? you can find it here : http://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:SL_darth_nihilus What kind of material have you used as fabric ?

Nice choice I more or less went with my hunch with this one, and I used this pattern as inspiration for the tunics http://jedigarb.tripod.com/tunicinnertunic.html - though I did mod the sleeves and armpits, so it had a better fit on the inner tunic. The outertunic I made with no sleeves. The skirts are also "easy" - I used this as inspiration : Hope it helps a bit

Hi greetings from Denmark Which version of Nihilus are you going for ? there are some differences in the way the 2 versions are created as to what patterns will work best.

Hi welcome back - good to see you again.

Very nice pics indeed you look great.

Much better with the cape - good work - no worries, you´re almost there. X fingers for your approval

Very nice - I do have two smal requests : Could you please take your cape up over your shoulders and down the back instead of having it out over your arms ? In the CRL, you can see, how the cape shall sit. To get the right effect, I use snaps to fasten the cape on the shoulders, so it keeps its place And the second - the lightsaber on your belt needs to be removed, and if you have a clip, that one too. It´s really hard to see the details on the belt from the picture, but if it is as in the CRL, no problem. Good luck on the approval !

Hi and welcome It is always a good idea to make a check list like the one you have - I´m also looking forward to see your WIP

Hi all Here in Denmark it is the day before Christmas - we celebrate it on the 24th with our families, good food and gifts in the evening. I just want to say Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays to all of you, a big thank you to our awesome detachment command staff for all your hard work, and a warm welcome to all our new forum users and detachments members. I´m looking forward to a new year with the greatest detachment in the Legion

Welcome and congrats on your approval

Congrats

Very nice work - you look great - though you need to get the cape to go over the shoulders and down the back. You can get it to hold its place with either snaps or velcro - I did mine with snaps, more secure.

Good to have you back The tunics are made like this : For the inner tunic - the left side of the tunic crosses over the right side in the front. For the outer tunis - the left side of the tunic crosses over the right side in the front. The belt will hold them in place, so you don´t need to put velcro or else on them, but you can do it it it will make it easier for you to put on the obi and belt

I helped one here in Denmark, who bought a non-used WA KOFT version - to get that one approvable, we had to make mods to the cape and sew it on to the tunic. The tunic we had to put padding in the chest area and the skirt wasn´t wide enough, so he had to make a new one. So it´s not out of the box approvable - let us see, when you receive your BB (brown box)

From what I can see, the WA has made some changes to the costume, because earlier these couldn´t be approved out of the box without mods - one still needs to make sure it is up to the CRL + add the leather belt and boots. The lightsaber is not required for approval at this moment. I found his page : https://wickedarmor.com/project/darth-nihilus-costume/ It is fully up to the GML to approved the costume, but I always say to people - read the CRL and follow it - if you´re having some questions, go on the TFE forum and we will try to help you out the best we can

Your welcome replied again on the NG forum

Hi Nice to see you in here too - I´ve made some comments on your wip on NG forum - I´ll put them in here too. Hi nice work so far. It is difficuelt to see the details on your pics - when you take the approval pics, do remember to stand in front of a plain background with good light. I agree with your own points on things that needs to be fixed. I´ve some comments. Your "ears" needs to be bigger, creating a more sharp fram at the the top of the mask The visible spot between you tunic and mask needs to be fixed with black fabric Your cape is way to long, it has to be around 5 cm of from the ground and be heavily weathered. Do you have 2 tunics and 2 skirts ? The outerskirt needs to be visible shorter than the innerskirt = floortlenght or hangs no more than 2 cm from the ground. Needs heavy weathering on both skirts. Outer tunic needs weatering at the bottom Are your sleeves quilted ? Do your belt have the screws/rivets to hold the smaller belt in place ? Gloves needs to be form fitted.

Hi and welcome Ohh Savage is one of my favorits - so looking forward to follow your build. Looks like you are on to a good start

No I haven´t seen any - I used two patterns, that I converted into one. I took a tunika and a skirt pattern, put them together and cut it in one front and one back piece. The front piece I made enough wide, to get fabric to make the pleats at the shoulders and to have some gathering in front of dress. You can use any plain dress pattern and make the mods to it

Way to go - big congrats

Fingers crossed - I think you look great

You can´t use a robe pattern - the Traya dress is not open in the front all the way down. You need to find a normal dress or tunic pattern - I used this one and just made it longer and put the V opening in the front down to the waist + I made it a bit wider on the front side, so I could make the pleats on the shoulders. I also made the sleeves a bit wider...
