Well I plan to go with the Helmet on tusken leading A'Sharad... So I would have to agree that he fits the DZ, now I would love to do the Merc version but the facial ink would throw me... And I doubt it would be used too often.
As for the Tatooine dwelling version, what color were his blades everything I found thus far suggests they were green.
-
yes , yes I do , i jump around quite a bit
I do not believe he would be a Sith lord at this point , however I think he would be considered a DZ, after all he was willing to destroy the humans on Tatooine and he was going to attack the Lars homestead and he did try to kill Kenobi , It seems that he wants to harm the heroes. So I think it is safe to think he is not a Sith Lord, but I am still hesitant to say he is Rebel Legion either.
But that is nether here nor there, and shall presume that he is not a Sith Lord.

Trying to discern what A'Sharad Hett would count as while he was living among the Tusken, I am aware he wielded two light sabers at this time and he did oppose Kenobi, but would he be considered a Sith lord or Denizen.
-
I see, guess that solves that dilemma. Narrowing the choices down nicely.
-
OK, he Sith stalker is listed as approved but which one, the standard or are any of the variations possible?
-
I spoke with my CO and he said that the Shadow Guard falls under the flagship. I also know of one of my fellow Garrison members who is working on a Shadow Guard, still have to get in touch with him. Anyway, has there been any discussion on the Shadow Guard as of yet?

For my part Nihilius was particularly taxing, being that it was my first costume, the hardest part I found working out the hood and horns to look right... The inner tunic was not much better. At any rate, when it's all said and done it comes down to the opinions of your peers, so exactly what is right and what is wrong leave allot of room for interpretation.
I don't recall what pattern I used for my inner tunic, how ever for the sleeves, I simply laid out two sheets of fabric and sewed some batting onto one side, then attached the other sheet and adding the lines of stitching at regular intervals for the quilting effect, as for the shoulders well one trick we used was to measure the length of my arm while it was bent at the elbow, and I added some stirrups made from elastic in the ends to keep the sleeves from riding up.
Personally I found open front tunics for the inner and outer tunics to be the best bet, much easier to slide on and off, adding some ties will help keep the tunic closed, perhaps some Velcro as well. The obi will keep things closed as well. The hood and horns are the toughest part I found. I used an old East German hat to hold my horns and secure my tunic, I want to refine the hood but the build I have now feels more durable. I used the flaps on the sides of the hat to tuck the hood in to keep it close to my face, and my mask actually sits over the outside of the hat with the strap over the flaps. The hat keeps the hood in place and well tucked behind the mask, so the mask is actually free from the hood.
As to my belt, well I used two pieces of leather, and placed black rivets along the middle of the center leather strap. With snaps in the back to keep it tight, the back is buried under my capes so no one will ever see it. The skirts were the easiest part, I just took to looooong lengths of cloth and placed a tube in the top to house and elastic cord.

Hmm at the Steel City Con, my first troop, I got chibied by an artist... Looks cool, and too damn cute. ;> As for joking, hell were going to try and make a friend the chubby rancor keeper, if that isn't funny what is. It's still possible to poke fun and respect the hard work someone puts into a costume.. After all most of them are held together with spit, rubber bands, and happy thoughts... ;> Heh my face fell off at SCC... ;>
-
Possibly... ;> I have to give that a try. ;> I need my apprentice!
Anyway grats on the costume, very impressive.
-
That looks great... I've trying to convince my wife to do a Visas, to go with my Nihilius... Some of the techniques you used, should help allot if she decided to try this costume.
-
A pic of my new mask, not much different, just had the cheek slimmed down.
-
Hmm I dunno Chibi Nihilius is pretty cute. ;>
-
Just came in a few days ago... I want to get a few new pics of the costume with the new mask... I'm going to see if I can get a few shots tonight with the new mask.
-
Thanx...
Well I had a new mask made, narrowed down by the cheeks. ;>
Hmm that would be fun a Nihilius reunion! ;>
-
NP. ;>
Thanx...
-
It's not just you, the old pics are down... Here are two from the steel city con.
-
I can grab a few, it's pretty simple... I took the front flap off the hat sewed that shut, wrapped the cones in duct tape and sewed them directly to the hat, they are placed so they sit at the edge of the hat above and just to the outsides of the eyes. It takes a bit to get the looks just right, but the hood is sewn to the horns to keep it in place then folded down and sewn so it folds under the front of the hat against the forehead.
The bottom is the type of hat I used, the front where the medal is pinned, was removed with a seam ripper, the resulting hole was sewn up. I wear my mask on the outside of the hat, I have elastic strap that encircles my head going over the ear flaps so the mask sit snug against the top of the hood.

east German hat and foam. ;> comfortable and durable.
-
Thanx... went over well at the steel city con, even if no one really knew who I was. ;> Maybe getting a trading card will help. ;>
-
thanx...
never forget yer first. ;>
-
Steel City Con... My first event, it was great even if most people don't know who Nihilius is. ;>
These should be standard Imperial Issue. ;>
;>
Small selection of us. ;>
-
Well looks like everything went through, just waiting on the app to clear and I will be completely official. ;> Thanx for all the help, everyone.
Now I need to get to the wife's Tusken. ;>
-
Latest pics of the cape and hood, I'd day the experiment worked out pretty well.

You should consider binding something called Black Beauty, great for cleaning rubber and protecting it. I use it on all my gas masks, and I know a guy who is a rubber guru.
And if ya use hangers avoid plastic and wire hangers, use wide hangers, and cover then with an old t-shirt;

no too familiar with the legacy era, though I'm guessing I'm going to shoot for the time after order 66 before he went bounty hunter.
