Hello. Im IG - 28140. I new to the 501st (month ish) And had a blast researching and getting everything together. Right now i want to make an SL and when i played SWTOR Darth Revan was cool. So i decided not to quit and keep trucking along but this time taking a little more time on my costume!
My first question is as to the definition of Rigid. Does this require plastic? (Def is unmoving cant be bent)
The reason i ask this is for the chest armor. While the gauntlets can be made out of PVC pipe (similar to a BH).
So my question is, are their any advice anyone has to get started on this. I'm not a professional seamstress (male edition). But i can sew cloth together and am getting into prop making. So i figured this would be a fun project.
From my research it appears that a lot of people have asked for patterns but none were out there.
I read that people use seamstress and was wondering if anyone had any advice as to whom to go to. ( i do not really know how to get a local one to work on this as i have never done something like that before.)
So i did some research as to already done cloth such as Cosplay Sky. (I have had some experience from this site as on time but they would not moving the patches (for IG, IC ,TI ®) and i had to. Which was not that big of a problem and i had to switch out the patch. But has anyone had any experience with them and this costume.
but i did notice some problems with it such as costume is a little short to the feet, and That the chest armor part is leather in nature and not rigid. (might be able to get this Wicked armor i read about for revan.
