Didn’t realize I had gotten approved with the Grand Inquisitor so…😅 DS-20009 requesting TFE access! https://www.501st.com/members/displaymemberdetails.php?userID=33152

I don’t remember exactly how I scaled mine, but kinda have to compromise a bit. My helmet is just wide enough that I can fit my head (with mask) through. I didn’t even try to get it to fit into the neck armor, instead my helmet pretty much rests on top of my neck armor, I don’t even have any padding in my helmet since the neck holds it in place. I made sure the visor aligned with my eyes, which as you said made the chin a bit short as you can see in the pictures. I don’t wear the helmet with my costume too often, so it doesn’t really bother me. I’d rather have a little bit of the chin sticking out than have the whole thing look like a bobblehead. hope this helps!

It’s kinda unclear how it’s supposed to be, I think according to the current CRL it’s supposed to be short black boots with armor Greaves, the CRL will eventually be updated to instead use knee-high riding boots with a little flared ring around the ankle of the boots, made either from leather or plastic.

I ended up making my boot-rings from some 2mm craft foam and wrapping that in black faux leather. Having a 3d printed part didn’t really look right to me. I might have a 3d model that I did laying around somewhere, not sure if it could work or even looks right though. I also might have a template for the foam ring that I made, but I’m not sure.

Looking good! makes me very happy to see more G. Inquisitors popping up! If you want a Grand Inquisitor belt buckle, I modeled one for my belt, I’ve been meaning to put it up on thingiverse but never got around to it. Though I must admit, the metal Tie buckle looks really nice and shiny! I’ll also throw in my two cents regarding the lightsaber. I made mine from the thingiverse files you linked, I modified the files to house a small 3x AAA battery pack and a simple 3V LED module I got from Etsy. Planning to switch to a tri-Cree LED and 18650 battery eventually. It works pretty good other than it being pretty fragile and a bit clunky, I also omitted to adding sound, animation, motion sensors and all that, since I didn’t really think it would be heard very well at a crowded con-floor. The file I used is made up of a lot of pieces, making it able to switch from half ring to full ring. I did have a similar idea to yours of using a simple base saber and housing it in a 3d printed hilt with the rings, but I never got that far. maybe someday I’ll model my own saber… keep up the Jedi hunt and the good work! /Malte

Hello! I’ve got a finished Grand Inquisitor costume so I’ll be happy to help with what I can! I do wanna give you a heads up that the Inquisitor CRL will be updated sometime in the near future. I’ve been working with updating it myself and the changes has been approved recently. It’s not any big changes really just adding “boot rings” to the boots instead of the armor greaves, as well as adding a level 2 requirement for the lenses having some red in them, not just yellow. Wanted to let you know about this now, so you don’t finish the costume and the CRL suddenly changes and you need to redo stuff. You can read about these changes in the CRL development/update section on this forum. now on to your questions: soft parts: I ended up making my own soft parts. Im in no way a professional in sewing, but some stretch jersey fabric and a cheap singer machine did the trick! But as mentioned there is Amion costumes who has made a inquisitor set before, Though I don’t know what the quality and accuracy is like personally. There is also many costume makers you probably could commission soft parts from if you wanna go that route, as far as I know there’s no one who makes a set that you can just buy straight up. Gloves: I went with leather gloves since I couldn’t find any rubber gloves in grey that didn’t have a bunch of grip textures and logos. I currently use a pair of military style grey leather gloves, I think they’re called mil-tec or something like that. They have a pretty simple design, but they are padded since they’re winter gloves, so in my opinion they’re a little bulky (and warm) for the inquisitor, so I’m probably going to switch gloves eventually. Mask: I use a silicone mask made by WulWhiteWorkshop on Etsy. It is definitely durable and I feel I can see very well out of it. You can move your mouth in it, but you won’t get that perfect mouth movement like in a 500-1000 dollar silicone mask, but I think you definitely get your money’s worth since this mask is only around $200. I’m personally considering making a prosthetic makeup for this character instead, to get some more realistic movements, but I haven’t fully figured that out yet. also I can totally recommend the armor files by JMS props! It’s what I used and I think it looks great. I can also recommend splitting the neck armor from the chest and down the middle and then use magnets to quickly get it on and off. if you have any questions, send me a message anytime! Always happy to talk inquisitor! I do believe I have pictures of my costume on my build Thread on here, if you wanna see examples of the armor, gloves, etc. if you wanna see the movement of the mask, I believe I have a video of it on my Instagram @moldwarped. Sorry for the giant wall of text! //Malte/BH/CC-20009

I completely forgot I created this thread, so here’s some updates since last time. costume is mostly done except for some small details. I also now have a functional lightsaber as well as some yellow and red contact lenses. I did end up remaking the soft parts in a softer and stretchier fabric which I like a LOT more than the old one. I’ve also printed and finished his helmet recently, printed with files from JMS Props and sporting a nice red acrylic visor.

Cool! I’ll do that when the time comes.

Forgot about this thread for a while! since school started I haven’t had much time to work on this costume, but I did get most of the armor finished and was able to do a suit up before summer ended. I’m not wearing them here, but I’ve made version 1 of the boot rings discussed in the other Grand inquisitor boots thread. As it seems right now, there needs to be some updates made to the CRL. Where does that process begin? Who should I talk to? My costume isn’t finished yet, but I’d like to have an idea of where to turn when it is.

Never mind the shirt question. Probably gonna be redoing the soft part with a different fabric.

Ring is now black! Did some test fitting with the boots on. It sits a bit low right now, I’ll be fixing that.

Also, will there be new crl pictures needed? It would need to be updated at least right?

Here is my boot ring prototype! 3d printed on my cr-10.

Been working a bit on a "boot ring". I'll return with some pictures soon.
