    NVSE's Starkiller: Desert Survival Gear

    in Starkiller

    Posted · Edited by Naasad Tal

    Looking at the reference pic again, the bunched end near the elbow made think of these gloves (see pic). I can't post the link, but if you go to Amazon and search "Chemical Resistant Gloves", you will find several to choose from (including green ones)

     

    Unfortunately, the CRLs don't give any specific info on what gloves are actually used for this costume, but the ones above look pretty close and they might give you a jumping off point.

     

    Hopefully this helps!

    Dark Lord's Armor Starkiller saber help

    in The Force Unleashed Characters

    Posted

    Hi Charles, I'm pretty sure I've already spoken to you on Facebook, but just in case...both Rahm's and Kasdan's sabers are fairly simple (aside from the tsuka wrap on Rahm's) and could easily be made out of PVC. The belt hangers for this kit don't really need to do anything other than sit on your belt and look pretty so you can go low tech for these. If you are looking to have them be functional, I highly recommend checking out The Custom Saber Shop, they have a HUGE variety of custom parts and I have had them do custom one-off pieces as well, so if they don't have what you're looking for, reach out to Tim and he may be able to help get you the part you need.

    I hoped for a good WIP, because the one i wrote above ist very old and many of the pictures and videos are not longer available.  I have my leather armor done, the helmet ist printed, tabards and lightsabers are finishes, the belt is ready. But i need inspirations for the cyborg arm, i dont know how to make ist.

    Best bet would be to do a deep dive on Google and find every reference pic you can. There are a few reference pics in this section for the Sith Stalker armor. But really only good one that shows the biomechanic arm.

    The CRL also has a pretty good reference pic for it that shows some good detail

    501st CRL

     

    If I were to build it, I would use PVC and dowels for the large actuators (piston looking things), then it looks like just a soft strap that wraps around the fleshy part of the forearm with a plastic strap that goes around the back of the hand with maybe blocks sitting on the backs of the fingers. The blade on the upper arm looks like it might be "T" shaped when looked at from the front. Not too much useable info, but hopefully it helps gives a starting point.

    Greetings all, TKID13255 reporting from the Dine Sea Garrison. I currently have ANH Tusken in both the the 501st and Rebel Legion and I am also in the Mando Mercs. I just started A’Sharad Hett. It is at the beginning stages with fabric acquired and dropped off to the seamstress. Leather working is at the very beginning as well. Thanks for having me and look forward to trooping.

    Welcome Steve! Glad you found us!

    A'sharad Hett Braid

    Since I'm going to have my Tusken helmet pull double duty for Hett, I was planning to leave one of the wraps loose and then attach the braid by sliding it underneath and using a couple snaps to attach it so that the braid won't pivot on just one point of attachment.

    Starkiller Concept Robes, tips &/or help for an Aussie.

    Greetings, sorry for the delayed response...sounds like you have a good start!

     

    I have the same problem with my training gear boots (luckily they get covered by wraps 🤪). For yours, I'd recommend looking at boots that have elastic near the top or even a zipper on the inside of your calves. Once the greaves are on, it should cover any zipper gap.

     

    If I can help out in anyway, please feel free to reach out directly and I will do what I can to lend a hand.
