Volund Starfire

It is legit. I flipped through the pages of The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia and it is there. I like it. The bulbous portion on the front gives it an alien feel that most lightsabers do no have. Another subtle way of showing that Nihilus is just wrong somehow. Also, Nihilus fought in a one-handed style, so the shortness of the grip works.

I can hook you up with screenshots (frame by frame) from the videos of all of the Sith Acolytes, if you would like.

Whoever she is, she has a general resemblance through both hair, costume, double-blade saber, and makeup to the Bastila character. Add to that the fact that once she got involved, the losing battle turned around (Battle Meditation inherently runs in their bloodline). Finally, she has a nearly Force Unleashed command of telekinesis (Revan's bloodline was extremely powerful). So, were I a gambling man, I would say it was Satele Shan. But what do I know, I'm just a costuming/Star Wars geek.

Acolytes might get into EU "canon." There are the vids (1st source), the concept art (2nd source), and more than likely the game (3rd source).

Okay, after looking around for a while, I can't find anyone who can actually make this. So, I am going to try and do it myself. I think I can do this, based on the references in the DIY area (especially the Baroness tutorial). Heck, if I do a good job, I might just try some of the other armors and such.

A friend of mine is going to be making the Republic Trooper Armor from the Hope Trailer. I just went through and took a frame-by-frame shot of every shot with the Troopers in it. It is a time-consuming process, but I did the same with Malgus from both videos (got the detail of the symbols on his gauntlet buttons). I could probably do the same for the Acolytes. I'll throw the shots onto a jump drive (thumb drive) and mail it to whoever wants/needs it. All I will need is the cost for the shipping/thumb drive. And, fyi, it is 3.81 GB for the screenies of the Troopers from the single video. If anyone is interested, let me know via PM and I'll price out a decent cheap thumb drive for ya (probably through Staples).

Thanks. I have almost all of my ducks in a row. The only thing I am missing is the goose with all the golden eggs... I am shooting for SDCC next year for this costume. DEFINITELY going to have it done in time for the midnight release of the game! Oh, and I even got some detailed shots of the buttons on his gauntlets from the Hope trailer, as well as some clearer detail drawings. No wonder the dude wears the mask, he's like the 1st Season Riker... nowhere near a strong chin!

Working from the bottom up, here is my dissection of the Darth Malgus costume along with the up close and personal pictures. More pics of our favorite Jedi Temple attacker (Ani was too much of a whiny emo) will be coming along as soon as I get them cropped and copied. So, here comes the dissection... or rather, the autopsy. BOOTS Soft Parts The boots would be made from black leather. As you can see in the illustration, they zip up both sides with a heavy black zipper (most likely locking at the top). The sole appears to be a layered boot sole. A pair of veins that line a piece that extends from the toe but not past the armor. There is a leather piece around the foot with a leather patch on the heel. Not visible on the boot would be an elastic piece in the back that is hidden by the rear armor (similar to the sides of the Stormtrooper boots). This would be to ensure a good fit and make up for swelling around the calf. The boots will include four grommets on the tops, two for each plate, as well as four grommets on the back for the rear plate. Hard Parts The armor on the tops of the boots would be made from ABS or fiberglass (to be determined). Depending on their thickness, they will have a padding material under them to provide stability. The armor on the rear of the boot would be similar to the top, in both the padding and style of connection. However, it will connect to the boot in such a way that it obscures the elastic back of the boot. SHIN & CALF Soft Parts The material is black pleather with padding and includes the appropriate seams and detail lines sewn in. It wraps ¾ of the way around the leg and rests on top of the boot. There are Velcro dots on the back to attach to the leg. Additionally, there are grommets on the outside of the legs to attach to the armor and snaps/Velcro on the inside. Hard Parts The hard parts include three pieces. The main is the calf plate, the second is the lower knee plate, and the third is the upper shin cap. All three pieces are connected by a plate of sintra behind a sleeve of the same material of the trouser. The lower knee plate also has a set of arms wrapped around which is secured by Velcro on both sides. The shin piece has a series of Chicago screws down the outside of the leg and a length of adhesive Velcro and snaps on the inside. KNEES Hard Parts The knee armor comes is two separate pieces. Both pieces are permanently attached to the trouser leg and are padded on the back for comfort. Both are clamshell in design and close with Velcro on both sides (to hold it securely and to give it a hinge). There is also a patch of Velcro on the padding to attach to the trousers. TROUSERS Soft Parts The trousers are light gray cloth with a normal button/zip fly, suspenders, and stirrups. There is a detail sewn down to the knee on both legs with batting. From the knees to the cuffs are free of details, though there is probably light elastic on the front of the lower leg to keep it looking tight in the back. In addition, there is Velcro sewn onto the knee and upper/lower calf for the armor above. Finally, a series of snaps and Velcro is placed around the waistband for the belt. The padding on the legs is a plastic-backed batting within a black pleather. It is sewn to the legs along the two vertical detail lines and is attached with Velcro in front of that (for stability). The center portion is not connected to the trousers to give it a look away from the curvature of the leg. In addition, the rear flat portion is pleather-covered plastic with no batting. The tailbone padding is similar in construction to the other. It sews down at the waist as well as along the detail line across the seat. The left and right sides are bent (breaks in the plastic under the batting) and Velcro down to the sides of the seat. The codpiece buttons onto the waistband of the pants and is kept down over the fly with Velcro. It is made of padding under pleather with a plastic back. BELT Soft Parts The base for the belt is a pleather-covered waist wrap that connects in the rear with Velcro and snaps. It has Velcro and snaps on the top and bottom of the underside to connect to the vest and trousers. It also has grommets on the center to accommodate the Chicago screws for the hard parts. There is also a pleather-covered piece of plastic with a sewn detail line in the back that fits over the seat. Hard Parts There are a couple of layers of plastic over the soft belt that are painted black and gray. They look vacuum-formed or bent sintra and connect to the soft belt with Velcro and Chicago screws. There is a larger piece that snaps over the back of the belt to hide the connector. Finally, there is a covertec female clip on the left side of the belt for the lightsaber. GLOVES Soft Parts The gloves are made from black leather and have padded sections over the tops of the four knuckles. There are also three snaps on the back of the hand to secure the armor. Hard Parts The glove armor is a simple detailed plate that snaps to the back of the hand armor. GAUNTLETS Hard Parts That gauntlets are made of six separate pieces. The left and right inner pieces, the top and bottom outer pieces, and the two hexagon elbow pieces. The left and right inner pieces are connected on the top and bottom by Velcro, they also include a series of snaps to secure the top and bottom pieces. There are two rectangular white lights on the top of each piece with the battery pack inside the piece itself. It is possible that the pieces also have a light padding. The top and bottom pieces are attached to the hexagon pieces with a piece of pleather secured under the pieces. The top and bottom snap to the left and right pieces to hide the Velcro hinges. The top piece also has a series of white dome lights, four white rectangular lights, two red dome lights, a white circle light, and a white light panel. The hexagon pieces snap to the elbows of the dickie that keep the gauntlets in place. VEST & CAPE Soft Parts The vest is made with a faux seam on the front over plastic-backed accordion strips (an additional panel sewn over the front of the vest. It has padded pleather strips along the body in various positions according to the illustrations. There are a number of snaps and Velcro along the bottom to fit to the belt. The back of the vest is made of a hex-patterned material. It closes in the back with a zipper. The pleather-padded strips are sewn down along the detail lines and around the edges in the front. The ends have Velcro to attach to the back armor. There is also a padded pleather strip in a Y-shape that is used to secure the back plate to the body. The Y-shape snaps through holes along the arms and on either side of the zipper. The sleeve is reinforced with a plastic piece that causes it to keep its shape. It includes padded pleather strips on each sleeve that are sewn down at the detail lines. The cape includes a hood and attaches to the back plate in such a way that it can be pulled around the shoulders (though this is not necessary). It hangs to the floor. The hood is set in such a way that it can be pulled over the head. The edges of the hood have neodinium magnets in it to hold it against the chest armor when the hood is raised. Hard Parts The armor of the vest includes fifth separate pieces. The first is the chest piece that includes an attached neckpiece. The second is the back piece. The third and fourth are the shoulder plates. The fifth is a box on the back that is only ornamental. The chest armor includes a pair of red lights. A pair of red lights is also attached to the neck ring. All are powered from a similar source. The neck ring is a solid piece that fits over the head. It has snaps and Velcro on the back to connect it to the vest. There are a pair of neodinium magnets under the chest to attach the hood. The back armor includes holes for the Y-shaped strip to connect it to the vest. It also has Velcro on the top to hook the pleather pads. It is connected to the chest armor at the shoulder with a rubber strip. The shoulder plates are attached to the chest piece at the shoulders. Finally, the box on the back snaps to the back plate. DICKIE Soft Parts The dickie is worn under the vest. It straps under the arms. It includes a set of Vader-style sleeves and a neck seal. It is made of a black material that has a bit of an elasticity to it (possibly a lycra blend). The sleeves have a hand stirrup and a set of snaps to secure the gloves. They have a light batting in them for the details. There are a set of snaps on either side of the elbow for the gauntlets. The neck seal is seamed in the back and has a series of pillow-tucks. The top has a length of Velcro and a series of snaps to secure to the jaw armor. JAW Hard Parts The base of the jaw armor will be a form of neck brace that will keep the piece generally in the correct place. The vents on either side of the main piece could be used as speaker ports for a voice amplifier. If necessary, a fan can be installed on the front of the mouth area. It will include Velcro and snaps to secure to the neck seal. The batteries will be located on the left and right sides of the piece for the two red lights on either side. It will attach together in the back and a snap will be located on the top piece. MAKEUP Makeup The makeup includes contacts, collodion, paint, and a bald wig. The contacts are Darth Maul contacts. This will assist with prescription lenses if they are worn. The collodion is used for both cheeks. Black paint is used around the eyes. If a bald wig is used, then the scaring on the back can be latex added to the back. Blue twine or yarn is latexed under the wig to be visible over as blue veins. A snap is added in the back for the jaw piece (with the other on the jaw). It should be spirit gummed down around the edges and be long enough to cover the eyebrows. LIGHTSABER Hard Parts The lightsaber is 15 inches long from pommel to tip of the emitter. There is a pair of blades on either side of the emitter. It appears to have a MR Force FX battery pack/speaker in the pommel. The covertek clip is located on the top of the lightsaber between the two blades on the emitter causing it to hang blade-up (similar to the Darth Vader saber).

Don't even need glue. Just velcro or magnets. If the magnets are thin enough, it should be no problem to latex them into a small fold of skin. The flap can cover the zipper. As for the edge can be spirit-gummed well enough to be hidden by the face applique. It can be done, not easily, but it is still possible.

Wow... Just wow...

Now, one small question... I have the contacts to make everything except for the actual armor... Does anyone know of a good place I can go for custom armor?

Star Wars Legacy Comics Star Wars: The Ultimate Visual Guide - Special Edition The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia Star Wars Saga Edition: Legacy Era Campaign Guide Sometimes Wookieepedia can come in handy. I've checked and all four have a visual representation of Darth Maladi.

Here is the isolation of the armor. I was able to separate all of the actual "hard" armor pieces. This is just a quick-and-dirty dissection, my longer one will be coming soon. Mask The mask is separated from the neck piece. The silver plates could be used to house a mini speaker (similar to the stormtrooper tusk speakers), and the batteries can be kept to the sides for the speakers and light with the amp in the back. Shoulders The shoulders are separate from the chest and back armor. They can be used to hide a shoulder hinge for those pieces. Chest/Back Not much to say about this. The chest armor has the lights and batteries in it. I would say that the pieces velcro down. Belt I know that some people are not too hot on this idea, but I think the belt is foam. Not sintra, but actual core foam, possibly with a pleather sheath over it. It has plastic greeblies (the silver pieces). It connects in the back with the rear plate snapped over it. Gauntlets The gauntlets are two piece that hook together. You can see the hinge points in you look closely. The two octagonal plates above it snap to the cloth parts at the elbow to hold it in place. Lights and batteries go without saying. Hand Plates Simple pieces that snap to the gloves. Knees The knee plates are fairly simple. I would say that it connects directly to the trousers to keep it in place. It is all plastic and is hinged at the sides. Lower Knees/Meniscus/Shin Plates All three of these plates are connected together from the back. A piece of cloth (matching the trousers) is sheathed over a piece of sintra that keeps these items spaced correctly. The lower knee plates are similar to the knees in their design, but they do not hook to the trousers. They way they connect is that the shin plate is attached to the calf padding. It just wraps around the leg from behind and hooks under the front. Boot Armor The two forward pieces snap directly onto the boots. The rear piece also snaps to the boot and fits over the calf padding. ---------- The soft parts are a little more interesting and slightly easier to see. For these, I have no pictures yet (look for my in-depth dissection). Let's start from the bottom up. Boots The boots are custom made black leather and zip up both sides with actual visible zippers (oops, there goes the no visible zipper thing). Also, I'd probably add some elastic on the back (like the sides of TK boots) for comfort. Calf The padding on the calf is made like all of the other padding, but is free and connected to the shin armor. Trousers Custom made of cloth with a light batting. The pads are foam in a cloth sheath and are probably sewn directly to the material... that goes for the butt pad, too. Codpiece The cod would be made similar to the Vader cod and will snap directly to the waist of the trousers. Vest The vest will zip up the back and have an interesting set of plastic inserts for the abdominal ridges and the stiffened sleeves. Additionally, the padding will be like all the rest. Gloves Nothing special here except for black leather gloves with a specialized seam. Dickie The dickie includes the sleeves and neck. Sleeves are made with a light batting with the details sewn down. The neck will be slightly stretchy and will snap and velcro to the chin piece. Robe The robe will connect to the armor at the shoulders. It will have some neodinium magnets in it to keep it in place and "closed" when necessary. ---------- The eyes are Darth Maul contacts and the makeup will be a pale base over some collodion on the back of the head and cheek. Add some blue pencil and I'm set (I already keep myself cue-balled, so that's not a problem. ---------- Last but not least is this...

Scared you, didn’t I? I thought so. This guy does look a little terrifying. Then again, what did you expect of someone with the name Malgus who is a Dark Lord of the Sith? I am planning on this to be my next costume. Already, I am dissecting it based on the model used in the Deceived, Hope, and Return Cinematic Trailers by Blue Studios for Star Wars: The Old Republic. It is a high-definition and high-detail look at this character’s costume. This is going to be the most detailed costume I have ever done. It will include cloth parts, foam parts, sintra parts, leather parts, lights, makeup, and a lightsaber! Needless to say, it will take a little planning and a lot of help from my local sources (and some not so local). Biography from Wookieepedia Darth Malgus was a Human male Sith Lord of the Sith Empire during the Great Galactic War. He was born under the name Veradun within Imperial space, and raised by his adoptive father. While still young, Veradun killed a Twi'lek servant on his father's estate, revealing the dark will behind his sensitivity to the Force. The young boy was subsequently sent to the Sith Academy on the Imperial capital of Dromund Kaas, where he became a Sith Warrior and a successful commander of the Imperial Military. During a trip to the Outer Rim world of Geonosis, Veradun discovered the Twi'lek slave girl Eleena Daru and took her as his own. Although she was technically his slave, the two fell in love with one another and fought side by side in many battles during the Great Galactic War against the Galactic Republic. Veradun later eschewed his birth name and adopted the Sith moniker of Darth Malgus. In the beginning, Malgus and his Master had led the victorious recapture of the Sith world Korriban, before the former struck down the latter for being injured at the hands of a Jedi. At the height of the war, Malgus led a surprise assault on the Core World of Alderaan; though initially successful, Malgus and his forces were defeated in a concentrated Republic counterattack. The Sith Lord was heavily wounded during the battle, and was forced to wear a respirator for the remainder of his life. In 3,653 BBY, the Empire entered into sham peace negotiations with the Republic, which were truthfully nothing more than a distraction from the Sith's true target: the Republic capital of Coruscant. Malgus was chosen by his superior Darth Angral to participate in the attack on Coruscant as the leader of a strike team that would invade the Jedi Temple. Malgus succeeded in killing a substantial number of Jedi defenders—including Jedi Master Ven Zallow, who became Malgus's most notable kill—before the Sith fleet arrived to lay waste to the rest of the world. By the end of the engagement, the Sith had destroyed the Jedi Temple, killed half of the members of the Jedi High Council, and disgraced the Jedi Order in the eyes of the Republic. Although Malgus had been under the impression that the Imperial Armada was going to raze Coruscant and destroy the Republic once and for all, the battle was ultimately used only as leverage in the peace negotiations on Alderaan. While the Alderaanian summit progressed, the Sith settled into an occupation of Coruscant. Malgus was placed in charge of orbital security, but the Sith Lord defied his orders and traveled back to Coruscant's surface to strike against the renegade Jedi Aryn Leneer, who was targeting Malgus for his murder of her Master, Ven Zallow. Although Leneer ultimately failed, the conflict caused Malgus to become disillusioned with the Empire and to view his relationship with Daru as a weakness. Thus, he was forced to kill his lover to preserve his own power, which he later used to cleanse the Empire of the politicians whom he blamed for allowing the Republic to survive. During the Cold War years that followed the successful peace negotiations, Malgus led Sith forces into the Unknown Regions, claiming previously-unknown territories for the Empire. Sources 501st entrance requires three separate sources. 1) Star Wars The Old Republic | Biographies | Darth Malgus (Bioware) This is a character in the upcoming video game from Bioware. The character is illustrated in the link, though a better illustration can be found in the Star Wars The Old Republic | Wallpapers | Sith Warrior (wallpaper). 2) Deceived Cinematic Trailer Character by Alessando Baldasseroni (Blue Studios) This is the version of the character I am making. The trailer itself was created by Blue Studios that took their own liberties with the animations and character models (including both Darth Malgus and the Sith Troopers). The reason I consider this a second source is that the character models were created based on the Bioware illustrations, but they held their own little differences. The illustrator also created the models for the Hope and Return Cinematic Trailers using the same model but with different heads. 3) Star Wars: The Old Republic: Deceived by Marek Okoń (Del Rey) While the Critria for an EU costume to be discussed on the 501st Extended Universe forums states that it requires three visual sources, I am using a novel. I am not using the novel as a literary reference, but am using the cover art as a visual reference. It is designed by Marek Okoń based on the Bioware illustrations, but with specific details the artist threw in on his own.

As much as I wish I could get access to the female Bounty Hunter character for one of my friends, I don't have that one. Nor do I have Darth Malgus's lover (seriously, that is what she is called so far... is it wrong that she is the preview of the 'pet' that players have access too... ). The only other figure I have is the Sith Trooper. However, this is not all... I also have the texture character for the Sith Trooper. The only reason I am not doing a Sith Trooper (yet) is because you would have less visibility than a Tusken costume in a dark room. Otherwise, it is an awesome costume. However, look for my dissection thread by tomorrow morning. Now... to find a custom boot maker to make these (wearable for both Malgus and the Sith Trooper) Oh, and spoiler alert for my dissection thread...

Actually, Koda, that guy is Darth Malgus. I have a little picture with some more details that are not typically seen. It is the CGI Malgus character used in the Deceived trailer... and I am currently looking at the feasibility of doing this costume. I'll be posting me own thread here soon for costume dissection and WIP.

Have you thought about getting a latex body suit with hood and going from there? You could probably add some gloves to it for the best effect. Paint it with a good base color and detail. Add some dragon skin patches in the cracked fashion. Paint the details, then all you will need is a face applique. But, that's just my suggestion.

Actually, after looking through the PS site, the Inertia saber looks more akin to the KOTOR saber design.

Okay, I got the parts in for the first piece I'm making and will be posting some before pics tomorrow as well as (hopefully) some progress pics and a how-to for those who may be interested. Sigh... I wish it could have happened sooner, but I was fightin forest fires with the National Guard... which also gave me the money to get the parts... Sigh, I guess the darkside is a never ending loop into the abyss.

Even better idea, thanks! The waterproof eye makeup was an idea from my wife.

This is a step-by-step with each separate piece of the costume. I have used multiple sources to get this description, including some of the graphic novel descriptions, supplemental art work, and long hours of pausing youtube to get snap shots. In all, this project is deceptively simple yet time consuming. So, let us begin. EYEPIECE Being a Miraluka, Jerec is naturally blind. To avoid the ick factor, he wears a specially designed band across his eyes to hide the useless orbs. In reality, the band is more of a mesh or dulled dark lenses to hide his eyes while still providing sight... otherwise you would need to use your red lightsaber as a red-tipped cane. The primary part of the eyepiece are a pair of thin-framed non-reflective plastic sunglasses. They appear to be about a 1/2-inch wide at the widest point and contour evenly across the face. They are connected from behind with a detailed band of some kind which fits directly to the sides of the glasses. While some descriptions said that the eyepiece was actually a piece of thin fabric, this would be too easy to see through from the outside in a high light situation, this is why I am going for the glasses. In most of the scenes, Jerec was bathed in shadows. However, at one point he was in a bright area and you would see the glint of his eyes. After finding an appropriate pair of sunglasses, cut them down to the appropriate width. You should sand the nosepiece also to allow them to sit closer to the eyes. If the plastic is glossy, it may also be wise to cover it with a coat of flat finish (making sure not to hit the lenses). After that, remove the arms and securely attach a pair of elastic bands to the sides. For another level, create a web-patten between the two elastic bands behind the head or find an appropriately detailed gel hair band! SHOULDER ARMOR The shoulder armor are a variation of the Darth Vader Shin Guards. They are flared out more than the Vader Shins and are cut just below the knee in a round or stylized fashion. The armor widens until it reaches in line with the "studs" and which point it sweeps in a curve to form the base. They are red with a series of black triangles at the edge. They bolt to the shoulder straps of the armor and have a small bit of velcro on the fronts and backs which are for an elastic strap which keeps them from twisting from the armor. ARMOR The armor covers both the chest and back, but the chest is the only thing shown in the game. It is stylized much in the same way as the Imperial Gunner armor but is hard. The neck-line is low and the armor covers to about the sternum. The armor has two studs near the shoulders which connect a black TIE Pilot-style shoulder strap. It is to this shoulder strap that the shoulder armor bolts to. There are a pair of leather straps which also go from the sides of the chest armor down to the belt. These straps end in a black clip which hooks under the belt to act as belt loops to keep the belt in place. Finally, there are a pair of elastic straps which connect from just under the studs to the top of the shoulders to secure them. The back was shown in only a single scene, but it was not armored, it had straps which secured the chest armor. CAPE WITH MANTLE The cape appears to be a Darth Vader-style cape with the satin lining and trailing edge. It's length is only to the tops of the ankles so it will not drag on the ground while walking. The cape rests on the half-way point of the shoulder pauldron (possibly connecting to the stud which holds the shoulder plates to the armor). The mantle connects to the cape along the back of the neck. It is about 4-6 inches wide and is the length of the jacket. It is covered by a series of red embroidered symbols on its length. BELT The belt appears to be a typical Imperial belt and buckle without the cog device on the buckle. There is a Darth Vader-style saber clip on the right side of the belt held by two vertical studs. SABER The saber would have to be custom built. It can be an FX saber or just a hilt, as Jerec only drew his saber twice preferring to let his underlings do the dirty work. If the Saber is produced with a blade, then the blade needs to be red. Otherwise, the saber has a ring on the back to connect to the belt hook and is much like the Kyle Katarn saber. GLOVES The gloves appear to be normal gauntlets. They are black and have no texture. The gauntlets appear to be fit around the sleeves of the suit. They may have a light texture, but it is not entirely visible from the screenshots. BOOTS The boots appear to be typical Imperial/German Officer Parade boots. TROUSERS The trousers are loose fitting around the legs and billow slightly over the boots. They look to be the same material as the jacket. These are nearly identical to the generic Jedi-style trousers seen in the Prequel Trilogy. JACKET The jacket is one of the more complex pieces of this suit. All of the screenshots I have seen are showing me the same thing and I will do my best to describe it here. The jacket is based on the Jedi Outer Tunic and the Imperial Officer Jacket. I has two parts built into one. The first part in the "under" jacket which includes Darth Vader-style sleeves connected to the body of an Imperial Officer jacket. The material of the jacket is lighter than that normally used (probably a cotton or silk of some kind). The collar is also a black shined vinyl material and is more of a 'V' than the Officer collar, but it is just as stiff. I would suggest that the body secure up the front (zip or button) and that a modified bib be made to cover only the upper section of the securing. The lower will be covered by the next piece. The "outer" jacket is more akin to a normal Jedi tunic. It is a simple doublet that is built into the front of the "inner" jacket. It has a separate flap of material that makes it look like the Officer Bib. When it is closed, the bottom of the jacket (under the belt) appears similar to the Officer jacket. The sleeves of the "outer" tunic billow over the Vader "inner" sleeves. and double back under themselves. They cover about to mid-upper arm of the sleeves. The bottom of the jacket is longer in the front and back than on the sides. It extends to about mid-groin in the front and back and mid-hip on the sides. TATTOOS Jerec's mouth tattoos appear to mirror each other. They also appear to be waterproof as they get licked a great deal with his habit of licking the corners of his mouth. I would suggest a waterproof body makeup pen to draw them on with.

"Jerec, the man who murdered your father, is a great evil. He searches for the location of a sacred place, the Valley of the Jedi. The Force of thousands of Jedi is trapped here. If Jerec captures this power, he will be a creature such as the universe has never seen. A supernova of stars in a fleeting thought?the eradication of life from a star system in a whisper?will be within his power." --Qu Rahn as a Force ghost to Kyle Katarn Before we begin with the description of what I am planning to do, I would like to make one point clear. Jerec is a Dark Jedi and not a Sith Lord. You see, practically every Sith Lord winds up being killed by a Jedi or some such... Dark Jedi get killed by Smugglers with some Force Sensitivity who find a lightsaber in their dead father's house. So, as long as Koda stays on his coast and I stay on mine, I'm safe. With that said, I would like to now go live to Ollie Williams in the Chanel 5 interview with a description of why I'm doing Jerec. Ollie? HE'S COOL! Thanks Ollie. In all seriousness, I choose Jerec because he has an awesome character, appeared in a live-action video game (produced by Lucas, does that make it cannon?), and is a snappy dresser. Add to that the fact that NOBODY has attempted this yet and I have a great costume ahead of me. Now, for the build description.

Yipie! I mean... Intriguing! Now to finish up with my first piece and post some shots... and write up a description... and locate the lost Valley of the Jedi... so many things to do... Thank you!

Well, this has been a long time coming, but I am finally beginning this project. I would like to create a new thread for my progress pictures, if that is at all possible. It is up to the powers that be, if they could grant me this ability and let me know where to put it.

Wow... You have been at this far longer than I... and it shows.
