    Starkiller: Dark Lord's Armor (hoth)

    in Starkiller

    Nice little update! Hope you feel better soon, & good luck with your class! Don't feel too bad if you can't work on this thing all the time. Real life has a tendency to get in the way of these kind of things! Believe me I know this all to well! Lol! Do what you can, when you can, & try not to rush too fast through this. Quality parts take time to make. It's better to take it slow, & make sure you do it right the 1st time. It looks like you have acquired pieces that will get you where you want to be. Good luck with your build! Looking forward to continued updates when you can.

    I am following your progress with interest! I am especially curious about how your leather chest piece comes out, as that is something I still want to remake on my son's costume. My biggest concern with using anything overly stiff as a filler inside the leather is that it may limit mobility in the waist & chest while wearing the costume. Hope yours works out. I am also curious how your gloves & boots turn out. If you don't mind me asking, what are you using for your boots & gloves before modification? I am also not completely satisfied with what we currently have on my son's suit. Keep the updates coming!

    Glad to see someone else trying to tackle this costume! I sent you a PM with info on the gloves. As far as questions regarding the 501st CRL, that's a tough one, as some of the info & pics aren't correct IMO. Believe me, I have poured years of research into crafting this costume for my son, & I can tell you that there are numerous things in the CRL that aren't accurate, including the boots & saber hilts pictures. I believe the boots pictured in the CRL are actually a black version of Anakin's ROTS boots. I have MANY screen caps from in game that CLEARLY show that the boots being worn in the game are NOT Anakin boots! Black Anakin boots could be used as a base, with the outer covering removed, but there are MANY details that would still need to be added to make them accurate to what appears in game! I am currently working with Gio on coming up with custom leather boots for my son's costume that will be VERY accurate! Gio has been CRZY busy with doing Kylo Ren boots lately, so this little side project is currently on hold. Hopefully it will still happen at some point. They won't be cheap, but nothing on this costume is cheap or easy! You should know that going in. This costume can get close to as expensive as a Vader or a Fett! It's not a costume for the faint of heart or on a shoestring budget if you don't want to compromise quality! If I can be of further assistance, please let me know, & I will do my best to assist as much as I can. Time is in short supply for me, as I work 3rd shift at my job, & have full care of my elderly father who has advanced stage dementia. Please be patient with my return response times. Welcome, and good luck to you on your build!

    Sorry for the silence, ladies and gentlemen! Been trying to catch up on orders and stuff as well as get some new projects going, so it's been a bit slow going with answering everyone's emails and PMs. Best place to contact me right now would be though email at taras@mynocksden.com, as I'm trying to consolidate everything through email. Marc, I got your messages! I'll be getting in touch shortly!

     

    Hi Taras.  Just sent you an e-mail.  Hope all is well. 8)

    Kylo Ren Tutorial (Image Heavy)

    Dawn, again GREAT tutorial!!! I was wondering if you could show us any additional details on how to go about making the hood and capelet, as well as the belt? You've gone into so much FANTASTIC detail on how you made all the other pieces of the costume, but these two parts seem to be lacking the details that the other sections have. Some pics or pattern drawings of these parts, along with info. on how much material is needed to complete these parts would be VERY helpful, and would really complete what is otherwise a very THROUGH and AMAZINGLY HELPFUL tutorial!!!

    Just recently received a kudos from Blur Studio regarding the work I've done on the acolyte!!!

     

    In the photos below, my Sith Acolyte mask at Blur Studios, the birth place of the Sith Acolyte, where it will be put on display! How crazy is that!!! (Photos courtesy of David Wilson, director of the SWTOR trailers at Blur). Few more of my SWTOR pieces are on their way to Blur now as well to be enclosed in glass. What a huge honor!

    Anyway, decided to update a few pieces of the armor to make them even more accurate! Stay tuned.

     

    That's totally AWESOME!!! CONGRATS!!! The honor is WELL DESERVED!!! Your stuff is by far the BEST I've seen! I'm looking forward to an update from you soon, hopefully with pics of you suited up. CAN'T WAIT to see all this AWESOMENESS finally come together as a finished WORK OF ART!!! I'm also hoping to hear back from you when you get a chance regarding my recent PMs to you. I've been trying not to pester you too much, as I know you've had a lot going on that you're trying to get finished before SW Celebration in April. Again, CONGRATS on the recognition! Talk to you soon! 8)

    WOW!!! As always, you continue to AMAZE with your AWESOME updates!!! CAN'T WAIT to see this complete, & you wearing it!!! You're going to have to put together a tutorial video on how to setup a rig to wear this & put it on. I sent you a PM awhile ago too. I figure you've been busy working on all your gear trying to get everything ready for SW Celebration, so I haven't wanted to keep pestering you. Figure you'll get to replying when you can. Again, GREAT JOB on this!!! 8)

    I have to agree with you regarding the boots pictured in the 501st CRL. They are NOT ACCURATE in my opinion to the in-game images I have of the boots. Nothing against the costume pictured in the CRL, as it's VERY NICE, but I've got pretty good pics of the in-game boot details, & there are a number of DIFFERENCES from the ones pictured in the CRL. I've been studying this costume IN DETAIL for approx. 4 years, & have MANY reference pics of the in-game costume. I'm having trouble posting pics on this thread right now. Not sure why, so if you want additional info. & pics from in game as well as on what I'm doing for my son's boots, feel free to send me a PM. I'll be glad to try & help if I can. 8)

     

    I agree, costume CRL is very good ... in fact I have consulted on some aspects sr Granada .... to continue the project forward.

    Only that doubt arises me to the topic of the boots.

    I will contact you to see if you can guide me.

    I'll be glad to help if I can. I tried posting pics on here the other day, & couldn't post additional pics to your thread. Not sure why, as I've posted plenty of pics on threads in the past. I'll PM you when I get a chance. Hopefully I'll be able to send you some pics in a PM. If that doesn't work, just send me your e-mail, & I'll e-mail you some pics that I'm sure will be helpful to you. I have LOTS of screen caps from in-game of the boot details that I think will be helpful. I will have to wait sending you a PM with pics for another time, as I just noticed photobucket is down for maintenance at the moment. I'll PM you later in the week when I get a chance. Hang in there, & I'll get you what you need! 8)

    Very nicely done! Looks GREAT!!! CONGRATS on your recent approval! :D

     

    Thanks a lot! I know you and I were both looking at the Acolyte for a long time. Did you ever buy or build it? Or did you move in a different direction?

     

    Hi there. I'm actually still working on my build. It's going much slower than I'd like, as I've been working on other costumes first, & my parent's health has taken a DRASTIC change for the worse! I'm currently caring for them full time, so it's hard to find time to work on any of my builds right now. I've gotten much of my gear from Mynock, as his stuff is AMAZING! I've still got a number of pieces to get from him, mainly the leg armor, boot armor, & ab piece. I've also commissioned to have the robe made, but as I have them currently working on 4 other projects for me, she hasn't had time to start on this for me yet. I'll get there eventually, just not as quickly as I'd like! 8)
