  1. So, this week I received both my head piece and my belt from the US... and they are both beautiful and very well made Sadly I had to go to football camp with my two boys for 3 days, so I didn´t get anything done, but the boys had fun... hopefully I will be able to get the dress and wimple made in a couple of days...
  2. They look like a nice find
  3. Good question - at first sight : it looks fine for me but it´s not easy to see on the pic. My outerdress is made out of a more stiff leatherette and it get´s very hot...
  4. Beautiful work !
  5. Very nice ! Good luck...
  6. My belt is finished and is on it´s way... the headpiece is also almost ready, so I need to get the last things in order to get everything done now. It´s been a long wait - but I know, that it is worth it. My lightsaber will be custom made in october ´14...
  7. Very nice - great work with that. Keep it up
  8. Great pics ! Yes the problem with people not knowing this figure and kids getting scared, is also something that my friend has with his Nihilus But indeed it is a really nice costume ...
  9. HI I´ll take your post and get some advices from the other mentors, because I am not familiar with this costume - hopefully one or more of them can help out.
  10. Hi there and welcome Well, it depends a lot on what kind of costume, that you want to make ?
  11. Congrats
  12. Wonderful job - can´t wait to see it finished
  13. Congrats !
  14. He will get back to you - make take a day or more
  15. It looks great, but I´m not very familiar with this character - you need to write our DL Thomas (The Clone Emperor ) a pm
  16. No the belt is about 7,5 cm wide and the silver rectangles are about 2,5 tall and divided in 4 And about the closure - I do hope, that it is acceptable, since we can´t make it without one, and this way, the buckle will be hidden.
  17. Hi and welcome I´m in the making of Darth Traya to right now, and I have asked about the belt too. Since the ref. pics are from the game more or less, and we can´t make it as it is drawn - it is acceptable to have a closure on the back with an overlap like on Darth Mauls belt like the pic here. Note that it is a Darth Maul belt, not a Darth Traya belt or with an overlap with velcro.
  18. Oki, I made the other version, but almost the same Oh boy, I have absolutely no idea - I´ve got a Singer sewing machine - perhaps you could try and Google your machine and see, what piece is missing ? Regarding the boots, I would also search a bit more and find that one pair that fits like a glove... I´m going to use my boots for both the Visas Marr, Darth Traya and my new project a Royal Guard... (unless I find a pair of red suede for that one)
  19. Hi and welcome What version of Visas Marr are you planning ? Always good with lots of research and to make try-outs before using the right fabric, so your off to a great start Regarding the boots, as long as the stretch panels are on the inside of the boot, like around a zipper, I don´t think, that it will be a problem. Regarding the frustations about not getting anywhere - think, that we have all been there, so you just have to give yourself one goal instead of 10 and take one step of a time. Good things take time Where do you think a piece is missing from the sewing machine ?? try sew some fabric together with it and see, how it turns out, or put a pic up inhere - perhaps I can help out ? Looking forward to follow this one
  20. Beautifull work - this is going to be an awesome costume. I love your details and the bracers looks really great !
  21. Wuhuuu congrats !!
  22. Okay, that sounds like a good idea too, looking forward to see it
  23. Looks really good - but why don´t you try and put a longer "hidden" zipper backwards on, starting from the midle of the collar and going down ? if you know, what I mean ? That way it doesn´t get gapes and the zipper can´t be seen
  24. X my fingers - good luck You look great !
  25. Very nice - looking forward to see the final result
