So, I've started on my build quite some time before deciding to join up with the 501st so I figure I'd post my progress. Unfortunately since I didn't start my build with 501st approval in mind it has deviated as a result. I'm aware that there are a few aspects that are going to need fixing but I figured if I post up here I'll get a good idea of what needs to be fixed and what will be okay for now.
So keep in mind this is the concept I started with :
These are just the components I'm going to get a picture of me wearing it all as soon as I can, it's difficult because I'm living alone, and my camera broke.
But starting up first is:
Full costume:
Hood:
front:
Back:
Cape:
Mask:
Got the mask from drunkenmynock on theRPF and painted the mask myself. I want to know if the colors are correct.
Balaclava:
Shirt:
Currently scouring the web for one that fits the 501st CRL any good suggestions?
Vambraces:
Made from PU faux leather, I might remake it using worbla to get a more rigid structure to it.
Handplates/gloves:
They've been secured to the gloves using barge cement, again considering making this out of worbla to make it more rigid.
here's a pic with the vambraces:
Cuirass/armor bridge/abdomen armor
Made of PU faux leather, all one piece, if need I can separate them or make the correct parts rigid
Belt O-ring/ Fabric Drapes:
Hakama:
Boots:
Just ordered a pair
I believe they're called the gotham-100 boot and I've forgotten the company, but I just ordered them cause I liked the look, and they'd work with a few other cosplays I have going but I'm not opposed to getting new ones to be more accurate.
Lightsaber:
I'm currently working on getting into the shop and get one built on the lathe but times been a bit short lately I'll hurry on that the best I can.
Sith selfie time:
At current this is what the whole piece looks like (the top portion anyways) but like I said I will get a full picture of what it looks like once I find a friend who won't be weirded out by me asking to take a picture dressed as a Sith Lord.
Again I'm aware that some pieces may not be get approved because I chose to build it before I got convinced to submit my application to the 501st so some pieces are weathered oddly, and the cape plus hakama are tattered at the ends (it was on purpose). Please let me know what I need to get fixed, I'd love any advice and constructive criticism to make this as accurate as I can. Thank you!
