I ordered different fabric for the Cape. After doing some research of images online, I wasn't 100% set on the chocolate brown color that I had previously purchased. I think this color is a little bit better. Opinions? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Here are some pics of the redesigned center back piece of the harness. How does it look now? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

these are the ones I am going to use for my Decipher card version. Took the toe guards off and removed the logo. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for the feedback. I checked out the site and I also forwarded it to my artist. Hopefully he will be able to make adjustments from your input and from the images on the site you send me.

Ok, thanks. I sent your comments to my artist. Would you happen to have a pic of your piece for reference? I may have sent him an inaccurate image that I found that was supposed to have ben accurate.

@eliste Could you be more specific as to what would need to be changed on the back piece? I'd like tp pass the info on to my artist so he can adjust it.

I received the scratch 3-D files for the back piece and the Cape clasps from my commission aartist. What do you think? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ok, got some new fabric for the cape that is actually fabric. Lol. How does the color and texture look? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So the shower curtain arrive today and is decidedly not fabric at all even though the description said it was fabric. It is plastic. So back to the drawing board. The goggles are great though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I bought these today. I think they'll work Also bought this linens shower curtain to see if it will work for the Cape. Much cheaper than raw silk. Thoughts? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No I do have a question that I'm hoping some of you can help me with. What are the dimensions for the assassin style blaster? I want to make sure that the person I commissioned to make it has the correct information. Also regarding the Cape, what fabric did you use and was there any pattern in particular that you used for it? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Got the new LED for my lightsaber along with a purple day blade. Not sure how well you can tell the color from the picture but it is a violet amethyst. The second pick is with the day blade, sort of reminds me of a black light. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Look what I bought today! Both on sale, fabric was 14.99/yd and the pattern was 1.99!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I thought of something else to ask here after using my lightsaber at dueling rehearsal tonight.....my hilt has a covertech wheel on it, and I already have a black covertech clip. Are there any regulations or standards for the clip (color, style, etc)?

I wonder how either of these patterns would work? With alterations, of course, which I did find a guide to on Google http://www.joann.com/mccalls-pattern-m7217-misses-zippered-bodysuit-by-yaya-han/zprd_14816755a.html http://www.joann.com/mccalls-pattern-m7269-bodysuits-and-ruffled-skirts/zprd_15042815a.html

I was wondering if anyone had use that pattern as I saw it when I was looking for stuff on the Joann fabric website. Good to know about your experience with it. Fortunately I will be commissioning a very experienced seamstress who is familiar with costumes standards for 501st and rebel legion. I am confident in her skills. Assuming of course I find the right pattern for her to work with. I also have red suggestions and of course from past experience in other things that have been made for me, to make the pattern first out of different material just to make sure it's all good and then to use the super expensive fabric.

sweet! Now to find the correct pattern Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So this is on sale at JoAnn Fabric http://www.joann.com/cosplay-by-yaya-han-4-way-pleather-fabric-black/14748685.html This is the type of fabric I want to use, correct?

Here is my lightsaber. It is from Ultrasabers and is called Emperor's Hand! It is relatively new to their line, came out in February and I was so excited when I saw it. There is no sound card in mine as I purchased it for heavy dueling purposes. The LED is currently white/silver as I was hoping to play around with color disks but I didn't get the color I wanted. I have a violet amethyst LED on the way. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Based on feedback from a Rebel Legion GML, that's pretty much what was suggested. Does the placement of the guards look ok? Are they low enough on my shins? They end just above where my ankle and foot meet, maybe an inch above.

Here are some photos of the boots with the shinguards. I tried to get as close as possible for details. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I am also posting to my Garrison forum under a WIP thread, but responses are slow right now and it's a pretty small garrison(less than 50 I think). I will take a pic of the boots with the shinguards over then and post there to get my GML's input once he's back from SWCC. On another note, I spoke with the company tahat will be making the belt and holster rig and the harness and they will supply the correct buckles. So no need to find that, at least!

OK I tried the boots on with the shinguards and they do not cover the elastic portion. Bummer! I do not have the money to buy expensive riding boots without zippers and such nor do I think they would actually fit my calves is years of playing soccer and martial arts have caused me to have nearly 17 inch calves. Is synthetic leather a possibility? I tried on my husbands Sith boots and they actually fit but they are the Fantasma ones from Amazon. Doing a quick search on eBay, I did find Russian World War II officer boots that are leather with a box calf which I'm not really sure what that means. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Anything in particular about the boots? I already removed the buckles and the attached straps. I pretty much need the elastic panels as most boots don't fit my calves. As for the belt buckle, it's metal so I'd have to grind down the lip with my Dremel tool. Not sure how that would turn out. I'll keep on the lookout for a totally smooth one.
