[Doctor Aphra Black Series 2023 as a build]

I love the look of the new Doctor Aphra figure with the trench coat and scarf. This would be great for parades and outdoor events in the fall and winter. I am going to work on it for cons but would love to see if it is possible to get a costume based on an action figure approved.

I found mine on Amazon in bronze then used a red citadel miniature wash to make them the color I wanted.

I did. I found a crappy Halloween aviator cap and used it as my base pattern. I made a dummy one out of fabric first so could make adjustments as needed then used that as my main pattern. My real cap is made out of pleather from walmart.

I am working on vest A option and was wondering where I could post to get some feed back. I am very new to all of this and not sure where to go from here. Any advice would be appreciated.

Good Morning! My name is Shelly. I'm on the Northern edge of the Bloodfin Garrison in Indiana. I am working on a Doctor Aphra. My husband and I cosplay with our children at local cons and events but I want to do more. I love that with the 501st/ RL I can give back while I cosplay. Putting a smile on someones face by sharing a common love in some way. I am a high school librarian and run our schools pop culture/gaming club and I like being able to show my students that it is ok to be interested in cosplay, cons, and such as an adult and that they can even do great things for others through it. I am also interested in making a Mara but its the RL green one. I welcome any and all advice. Aphra is still a relatively new character so there isn't a lot of info out there for me to go through. 

Have a great day!
