  1. hi and welcome on board

     

    I too is in the making of the Visas Marr and I also had nightmares about the outerdress pattern, so I took a shortcut and got someone to make mine :wink: (from user: Aysel)

     

    But since you have a good knowledge about sewing, I don´t think it´s going to be a big deal for you - and I´m sure, that you will get a lot of help in here too.

     

    Have fun with your "build" - looking forward to follow it on the board.

     

    Greetings from Denmark

     

    Cheers

  2. Hi all

     

    Helping a friend making his Darth Nihilus COFT and I´ve got a question, because I´m quite confused about the closure on the tunics...

     

    The inner tunic closes how ? (CRL on 501st. says right to left.) here on the forum it says right to left.

     

    The outer tunic closes how ? (CRL on 501st. says left to right.) here on the forum it says also right to left.

     

    I´ve been looking at a lot of other builds, but it didn´t make me any wiser - so can someone please help me out ?

     

    Thanks :wink:

  3. So, a little update...

     

    Just ordered the outerdress and veil :wink: - and my dad is going to make the lightsaber for me on his turntable. :D

     

    And one of my good friends has some contacts regarding a lightsaber with sound/light in the right design, so waiting for some info about a buy there.

     

    Going to buy the fabric for my innerdress and veil tomorrow - I have to send the fabric to the maker of the veil, so it´s going to be the same color/fabric as the innerdress.

     

    It´s getting there - but I´m in no hurry :wink:

  4. Oki - so I really need one that looks like the CRL for troops, thanks :wink:

     

    I´ve sent you a pm - didn´t you receive it Aysel ?

     

     

    was it the one from a little while ago about the outer dress?

     

    DarthTagion was it sentinel? I was just going off the top of my head, but I did remember it saying somewhere that she technically should have a yellow blade ^_^

     

     

    Yes it was :wink:

  5. So... Next problem to solve...

     

    I´m having trouble finding the right lightsaber, so my dad is going to make me the handle from the ref.pic (CRL) on his turntable at the workshop.

     

    But I really want one with a saber blade on... so question, can I use another design on troops, or is that a no go ????

     

    I´m being offered a FX lightsaber (Anakin design) and since Visas Marr turns out to be good at the end, can I use this ??

  6. yes, those should work fine if you cut the straps off and paint the rivets. Leather paints should work if you use the nappa, keep checking though, you may find something you like better, and if you have to order it online, get fabric samples. ^_^

     

    Big thanks for helping out - I´m going to buy the fabric for the underdress, veil and belt after the Holidays. Hopefully I can get everthing done before Legoland 2013 in June here in Denmark, so I can have two costumes with me. :wink:

  7. are you using leather or pleather (fake leather) there are paints that will work for either.

     

    Hi

     

    Our local have same fine fake leather, she called it nappa, but I´m not sure, if it´s to thick to use ? it has some kind of soft backing.

     

    Otherwise I need to go to the bigger town Odense and look in one of the store there :wink:

  8. Finally I can get into my profil Again...

     

    Thanks for the reply... it´s how to make the pattern on the leather, that´s giving me a headache :wink:

     

    I can sew outerdress - that´s not the big problem, it´s more how to get the pattern right.

     

    Got my gloves yesterday - they are really fine :)

  9. Hi all

     

    So, I almost done with my first build, a biker scout, for approval - and I´m allready starting my next journey...

     

    I´ve bought the gloves... and the veil, belt and underdress is my mum going to help me with...

     

    But the outer dress is giving me nightmares allready... do any of you know, where I can find a vendor for that ?
