Kookaburra

Sorry for no updates I have been busy with other costumes it the planning has done been really well and all the 3D printed stuff turned out great. I am doing a run 30 of aluminum hilts so 15 pairs. I do have a few left over. But after wearing this helmet, I have truly fallen in love with this character.

My new tunic. Added things different to the CRL is pleats to the front and back skirt flaps and back seam. References to show these from the comic. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Depends on comic as his father saber changes in newer versions of the comic line of A’Sharad Hett Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Let the detachment decide not a Japanese GML! Hate it how there is only 2 main references of his boots throughout his whole comic series and the most detailed on is overlooked and people just say it’s wrong or a shadow when it’s clearly not. ANH Tusken boot style is totally incorrect as A’Sharads boots are flat and have a sole attached, unlike ANH Tusken style rain boots that are fully wrapped and have a heal. Even from the one comic reference that the back of the shoe is wrapped the closer more detailed image is not. Both of these versions should be in the CRL and the older ANH style boot removed as it is clearly incorrect. Also outer tunic needs to be updated as there is a middle seam on the back of the outer tunic and the back and front below the belt line has pleats hence why it so wavy. His outer tunic isn’t weathered as there is no reference to claim so. It is not damaged nor is it dirty in any way. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It’s not a shadow look at where the sun is and the color of the sole. You can See the detail ! The actual shadow Very noticeable from the color change and the darker thicker lines show that the wraps stop there. This is the only close up high detailed version of his boots that prove that it is not a Tusken style wrapped rain boot from ANH but it’s in fact a totally different boot.

So was approved with Rebel Legion but not with 501st. GML was not happy with the tunic so will have to possibly remake it. It’s funny judges both 501st and Rebel Legion say more weathering in the tunic but in no references there is weathering on his tunic across all comic books his in. No rips or holes or marks and stains on his main dark brown tunic. Parts that are stained a little is his inner tunic and all wraps arms and boots are heavily weathered. As for boots the Tusken style boots from the movie are incorrect as there only two styles in the comics and that both have soles that the wraps do not go around. One has black bottom sole with brown upper sole with the back heel open with no wraps. The other style is a fully wrapped boot with a flat sole that is not wrapped. Boot references. In fact his tunic is very clean and actually has 3 to 4 pleats at the waist that makes the bottom half of the tunic wavy. So if I have to remake it then I am going to do it correctly to the references then coping the CRL that is incorrectly worded and also just incorrect.

Finish his fathers saber today but still waiting on the saberforge hilt to be shipped been 3 months already. Also added buttons to the pouches and colored the white stitching brown. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Drying the boots happy with end product. A lot more accurate then doing the Tusken Rain boots wrapped Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hot glued all strips on and colored sole black Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Got these gloves, I think they look similar too the references. Working on helmet

After weathering I think I would have got it as close as possible to the references. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Redid the pouches, so much happier with the outcome. Finished preparing one boot just need to glue everything in place and weather. Need to paint the soles black. Tried to count each wrap from comic and wrap in similar way. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Finished belt and belt buckle, just waiting for new pouches.

Belt Options is insane as he has many different styles the closest and best looking buckle that is available is Qui Gon Ginns buckle that looks close to his toy version. Or I found another type but it’s close to his appearance fighting Obiwan. Buckles I have found As I find a Anakin/Mace Windu style buckle far from correct references Food capsules + possible duel saber clips on either side of belt

Noticed there is a seam down the back in the middle of his tunic.

Working on boots. references Closest boots I could find are these Funtatsma boots but they will need to be wrapped and weathered.

I am making this costume from references of the Obiwan and A’Sharad battle and the CRL seems not to match the references in some parts such as the pouches do not have four studs on them And his helmet does not always have red lenses in this version of the costume only during one frame. Pouches have only one button/stud on the pouch and not 4 studs. other issues showing having black lenses. Only instance of the lenses looking reddish other than the cover art that should not be included as no 360 image of that costume. As it has him wearing 2 sets of P-1903 pouches one across the chest and one below the belt. His lenses they are black or red in this version of the costume and only His fathers Sharad truly are red constantly in the comics. also his fathers light saber should be added to the CRL. As there are two versions of his fathers lightsaber also. One when his father has it and then gives it to him for the first time. And after such as him fighting Obiwan and then slowly turning to the dark side his fathers lightsaber had been modified. For example (just like Anakin’s ep3 hilt to ANH Luke’s hilt) Obiwan Duel After Obiwan duel please let me know your thoughts as I would like to make my costume as close to the comic.

I found these Cheap Momin gloves sheepskin leather custom made size. can replace my other ones that are too small. https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/OtBkGl7a

Helmet modeling is finished and ready for 3D printing. Still a long way on soft parts, spandex plan didn’t work so well think. Maybe just black spandex and add white fabric later may give better results and also need to change shape of front of tunic v to more of a trapeze shape I feel.

Ok some spandex suit updates Need to add fingers and fingernails details. Maybe add back the muscle a bit in the chest. As for head debating to add black in for the helmet.

I have been working with an artist to create the under suit, pants, shoes and skin. this is the ruff version a lot needs to be change and improved. Yes muscles will never been seen but hey awesome details for the changing room with fellow 501st members.

A friend helped me with the belt so that is finished, just working on helmet 3D designs. For tunic feeling the grey part should be leather just seems more likely then plastic or metal. As it looks very felxable in the comic. Getting black leather gloves made soon.

Momin Research this is every picture of him in each comic book in this costume. I feel there is enough references to base a costume off the character. Almost a full 360 of the whole character.
