  1. That looks fantastic. I'm turning this thread over to you. You're able to work on this. I am completely unable to get the assistance I need for this costume, vendors are completely uninterested or ghosting me. So I wish you the best of luck.
  2. Hooray! I’m gone for a week and I miss the good news. 😂 I shall continue work immediately. I’m going to work the uniform and cloak next.
  3. Did they specify what they want to see? I'm willing to scrape and scrutinize every possible reference for this costume.
  4. That looks amazing! I just got my led kit in a few days ago and installed them. They're bright so I'll have to dim them a bit. I don't have a cloak I can use to I used my hoodie and Vader cape. 😅
  5. The mask is redone! No more print lines, and a new paintjob more in line with the show.
  6. I’m going to call this mask done for now. I thought I’d filled the print lines in pretty well but weathering revealed them a bit in some areas. But I’m happy with what I did, looks spooky. I’ve got an led kit coming from Etsy, so that should be here soon! Edit: the more I look, the more the visible print lines drive me insane. I’m gonna try lightly sanding the paint down to see if I can get rid of them. Edit edit: started over. Took the paint off and am trying a new filler/paint combo I came up with.
  7. My plan was to back the LEDs with black tape, tape them in from the sides, place mesh over the holes and see how that worked for me.
  8. Awesome! I look forward to hearing back about that. Also, I decided on this for the cloak. https://www.bigduckcanvas.com/cotton-duck-cloth-black-10oz-wholesale-preshrunk/ Still looking for someone to do the tunic, pants and kama. I’ll figure it out. Going to do a run this weekend for belt material, backing for the mask, and LED lights for the eyes.
  9. After reading the product descriptions, turns out the Amazon link and the bigduckfabric.com link are the same product. 😅 so I guess I could just go through the website itself since it’s much much cheaper.
  10. I found a few different fabrics for the cloak, all are the black and sturdier cloth. https://www.amazon.com/Black-Canvas-Fabric-Yard-Wide/dp/B0786VWDSQ https://burlapfabric.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=224_66_254&products_id=1817&zenid=qqr82ppjopp7o6ubf2uqofon76 <—- kind of leaning towards this one https://www.bigduckcanvas.com/cotton-duck-cloth-black-10oz-wholesale-preshrunk/
  11. Heck, I have to agree with you. I said calves but I was thinking of the ankle. 😂 Also might just end up making my own belt, since it gets wider around the belt boxes. I’ll pick up a flat buckle from Wampa Wear later and find some thick leather for the belt this weekend.
  12. Safe to say the cloak goes down to his calves. So for the crl, we could possibly say: -Made of a light weight canvas material -Goes down to the calves -Imperial cog painted on both shoulders -Two cloaks combined
  13. I went browsing in the Second Sister threads and found a thread about duck fabric being used, with the crl saying “heavy canvas”. So I did some searching and found this. https://www.onlinefabricstore.com/black-grafton-7-oz-cotton-duck-fabric-.htm?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI3dbS08uz-wIVvTizAB1x6QvKEAQYASABEgLtV_D_BwE Edit: misread the crl, it didn’t say heavy. Just canvas-like
