Great to hear about your update and that you haven´t left the project Nice progress with the pin wheels

Yes one of those patterns can work too ... Just remember, have fun and do ask away, we all have ...

My mum have made a lot of dresses and skirts in her time, so she helped me out with the patterns... The skirt is easy and you don´t need a pattern for it - you "just" take a lot of fabric and make a circle with many wrinkles on it and sew it together, remember the split in the front. You basicly only need a pattern for a tunic with long sleeves - this way you can use it for both the inner and outer tunic. I put the quiltet sleeves on to the inner tunic - it works fine. Also I put the outer skirt onto the innertunic also There is going to be used a lot of fabric for this one, but you usually can get a good offer in a fabric store, since you are going to need the same fabric for all of the parts except for the piece under the mask... The obi is simply a long piece of fabric with velcro in the back - I made it double and ironed it well to get it to stay in place. The hood and cape - take the mask and the triangular support (if not attached to the mask) on - then you must meassure yourself from the upper of the mask, over your head and to the floor - do remember not to wear boots at this point. Depending on your shoulders width, you´ll need a piece of fabric in those two meassurements hight x width. Then you attach the fabric to the mask and draps it over you shoulders - remember you need enough fabric to make a frame around your head and for the single knot in front at the upper sternum. It´s the best I can guide you with... I hope, that it can help you... you must measure yourself from the top of your head and down to earth you must measure yourself from the top of your head and down to earth you must measure yourself from the top of your head and down to earth

As my fellow member of NG also points out - it´s not that hard to make by yourself... most I know make their own costumes, so it´s hard for me to give advices on, where to buy a premade one, haven´t seen anyone else then WA... I made a Nihilus COFT for a fellow member of NG and it took me and my mum only 1 week - I´m not that good with a sewing machine either, but one learns With good patterns, you can´t go wrong... I would print out the CRL from in here, take it with me to a fabric store and get some help there - perhaps they also have someone, who could sew it ?? I can´t remember, how much the price were to make this, but it wasn´t as pricy as WA.

Hi and welcome Well it´s hard to see all the details on the pics, and it looks to have potentiale- but you´ll still have to make mods on it... + get the right belt, gloves and boots.. I think it´s a very high price to pay for something, that still needs a lot of work...

I don´t have sound in my lightsaber, was my choice when I got it custom made by Hamptons - it takes to much on the batteries and as Rejean writes, pics don´t have sounds either I actually gets pretty annoyed if someone next to me keeps turning their lightsaber with sound on and off... The kids that I´ve let hold my saber, doesn´t care - they´re just like - wow a lightsaber !

That´s a very nice costume - it looks great !

Beautiful work

Nice progress - really looking forward to seeing this getting all together

Hi Nice - but where did you put your leather belt ? I saw, that you had it on one of the other pics... + you need to get this point in the CRL done too : The cape and hood gather at the upper chest and the two sides of the fabric are tied together at the upper sternum with a single knot. I like the weathering, that you´ve done - it looks good. One thing I don´t see, do you have both the inner-skirt and the outerskirt ?? in the CRL on the 501st. page, it´s set up wrong - it´s the CRL in here, that is the correct one.

Hi and welcome Nice to see you in here too and your Nihilus looks great.

It looks absolutely amazing

Very nice progress

Hi and welcome Nice progress May I ask, why you have cut the dress at the waist ?? it´s going to be difficuelt for you to make the pattern over it and I´m not sure, if you can hide it with the sash...

Hi and welcome Nice progress, but I see, what you mean ... the top front is a bit off and not the same height in the sides... try and look at this pic from my build (Katie made it for me), perhaps it can help you ? The veil is very tricky to get right http://s1246.photobucket.com/user/Heidi_L_Sorensen/media/story_30621/sloslashr2_zpsf1c94c7d.jpg.html?sort=6&o=17

Hi and welcome There are two versions of Darth Nihilus - KOTOR and COFT, do you already know, which one you´ll be making ? Looking forward to seing you WIP thread

That's great thanks! Had I have known I probably would have done this costume ages ago! I had a question about the goggles. What styles are most appropriate? I've looked online and a lot of the motorcycle style ones have a silver strip thing across the front :/ Well, we have to get one of the other costume mentors in here to answer that, since I´m not so familiar with this costume.

I would use it for the innerdress and veil, so if non of the other mentors have an opinion on this ? - go for it and let us see, how it turns out

I think it looks good a bit bright but it could be from the light of the camera.

Hi and welcome The weapons are optional accessories and not necessary for approval, so yes you can choose to have the blaster instead of a lightsaber Looking forward to follow your build Cheers

Hi Sarah Welcome to the detachment - nice to see you in here "sister" Cheers

Hi Thanks I hope they can help otherwise let me know, and I´ll see, if I can find some more from my own build - and yes, I used a silver paint to make the stripes on the gloves

Hi and welcome What a wonderful thing, that you´re wife wants to join too Which version of the Visas Marr are you going for, there are 2 ? Here is an album with some pics on, how I did my Visas Marr, Unseen, Unheard - perhaps that can help a bit regarding the colors ? and I didn´t paint the golden pattern on, I used a golden fabric, because I couldn´t get the golden paint to stick to the fabric - it´s much easier to get a clean pattern that way, but it´s totally up to you, how you want to do it. https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id ... 254&type=3

Cool

Which version are you going for COFT or KOTOR on the soft parts ?
