  1. Working on a Starkiller costume for my stepson, and I'm a bit confused about some of the hardware for the belts...

     

     

    * Belt One is at the top. This belt is approximately 5 cm in width. It has a metallic silver slide clasp on the front left side...

    * Belt Two is second from the top. ...There is a metallic silver slide clasp on the back left side of belt two, and a tail hangs from this clasp which goes over belt two and then under the rest of the belts.

    * A larger belt is worn draped on a diagonal line over the other belts. A large silver slide clasp is located at the front left which has holes or rivets located at the top and bottom edges. Shadows on the belt suggest that the slide clasp is attached only to the right side of the belt, hiding the cut edge of the leather, and then the left end of the belt goes underneath it. The left side can then be attached with snaps that are disguised by the slide clasp. A matching slide clasp is located at the center back of the belt. Four large swivel clips are located on the back of the belt, with two on each side of the slide clasp. These clips are riveted or glued to the belt.

    I don't get what the CRL means by "slide clasps".  What I look up and find online don't look like they belong, or make sense with how belts work.

     

    Are these just metal loops that go around the belt that leather is tucked through like these?

    Or are these actual two-piece sliding clasps like these?

    When you look up "Slide clasps" on Google, you get the 2nd hardware.  The first image is of a "metal belt keeper".

     

    Clarification, anyone?

  2. I'm out of it for a little while and posts like this pop up...

    This looks awesome, man. Absolutley fantastic. I've wanted to do a Malgus for some time, and still have packages of EVA foam lined up to do it. This entire post is inspiring and looks like a great reference for when I'm finally able to start my own.

     

    Have you made any other progress since June?

  3. I think an arguement could be made for the specific members of Havoc Squad who did defect to the Imperial side to be done for the 501st, but that would be just the 4 (or 5, it's been too long since I've played to remember exactly) named face characters who defected. The Havoc squad guys in the trailers on the other hand, didnt' defect and remain with the Republic, just like the player character and NPCs that are added to Havoc Squad as you play TOR.

     

    Yeah, those 5 guys who defect are all of "Havok Squad" at that time, minus the player character. So if you styled the armor after one of those guys, you'd have a good argument for the 501st Legion. The squad is small, just those 5 (replaced by the 5 you recruit along the way) so outside of them there really aren't any more OFFICIALLY.

  4. _Jaster":e3xv21ks]Looks good mate, what material you use for the robe?

     

    Thanks! I think it turned out really nice. I used a waffle weave fabric, originally two sets of shower curtains. It was just barely enough fabric....

     

    ...aw that's just BRILLIANT.

  5. I hae been watching this thread with great interest. Your work and ideas on how to build the costume seem to be something that I can do, and look forward to any WIP pics of your costume as they develop.

     

    Malgus needs to be made, man.
