Ok. if I interpret this ref image, based on the upper left part, I should make the "Back armor" a bit longer, so it reaches the upper part of the front "Abdomen armor"?
And also make the "Kidney armor" a little bit smaller? (To maintain the 6" bridge)

Hi all.
I am in the starting phase on a Revan (it has been going on for a while, with some ups and downs in motivation, but now i am on it again).
I was going through some ref pictures but do not get the complete feel on how it is supposed to look.
Here is a cardboard draft. Does it seem ok or are some of the proportions on it way off? (I know there should be more slope up top on the cuirass, I noticed that after cutting)
As you can see, the overlap between front and back pieces is way to big, but I go for that it is better to have some excess to trim than the opposite.
Also, I present a template on the mask. It is a bit crooked and needs some adjustments, that I know of
-
By the way.. about how much lower heel? 3/4 of it, 1/2 of it or even smaller than that?
-
Ok. Thanks on the response. I am still looking and now I know I need to look for lower heels too
.
I am used to be need to look for a while, since I need 45-46 in size and that is not as usual as the smaller sizes.

Cool.
I made mine out of a Raspberry Pi 1 that I had laying around. The only disadvantage with mine is that it is wired, but I am thinking of looking into the RPi Zero with BT for a possible upgrade in that aspect.

I know, but I find it best to always ask here first about Flagship Eclipse parts

Hi.
I want to know if these boots (with som alterations of the the straps to just have the required single one oc) would be approved?
What else would be required as alteration if they pass the test? (except the obviuos strap and some weathering)

The KOTOR II hilt is incredibly simple. The game files aren't very detailed for it, but it is not the same as COTF hilt.
Now I got a bit confused here
Is my hilt resembling the KOTOR II or the COTF version of the hilt?
If I look at the CRL's for the both, this is COTF, which is my aim with the hilt, since my costume is COTF, If this is more of a KOTOR II look, is there a resource for the COTF somewhere?
My doubt lies in that when I search the rest of the net for reference, this hilt show up as COTF on some hits and KOTOR II on others and I get hits on a more round design as the COTF version.
Also, I am currently working on making the rough parts a bit smother where possible.

Hi.
I have been working on a lightsaber for my COTF Nihilus costume and since it seems hard to find this on the net I gave it a try and made my own.
It is only light, no sound at the moment. And i know this is originally the KOTOR-design, this lightsaber is made from the reference pictures for the COTF Nihilus
The only thing I am aware of is that my coloring on the blade might be a bit uneven.
(The picture with light is bit missleading, it is not as strong as it seems)
Want feedback ck on htsaber

Hi.
Now that I have used my Nihilus build a few times I have experienced a small problem.
I use a blackout mask to cover eyes and neck and in front of that I wear a worbla mask do create the mouth.
With this setup, people seen to have problem to hear me talk.
Any suggestions on a solution?
A bonus would be if the solution also gives me a voice closer to the one Nihilus have, to make a better experience for those I meet.
-
I use worbla for the cowl and ears. Add some minimal support to make it stay in shape better. I used an ice cream stick for support.

I am no expert on the subject yet, but here are some small input from my side. (feel free to correct me if I am wrong on any point)
* The hood has no knot, as it should have.
* The hood seems a bit to big IMO.
* You will have to add a hard blackout mask since Nihilus needs a mouth now.
* The quilts seem to be a bit far apart IMO.
* The quilted fabric does not seem to differ from the fabric of the rest of the costume, as it should according to CRL.
* I think the fabric is a bit to smooth for Nihilus old appearance.
* The cape needs to be adjusted to not hang so much over the arms.
* The boots on the pictures are not plain black boots and has visible straps, buckles, or laces. (not sure if the boots was included or not, I did not read the instructions).
* The belt and gloves could use some weathering, but that is a simple fix.
Hope this input helps in the process

Take two. Another coloring technique. And simple electrical wiring done.

Thank you all
Looking forward to my trooping's.
And a lightsaber is WIP. Experimenting with a led I bought some years ago. Got a glow in all of the blade, but it is not as evenly spread in the blade as I hope. Blade is polycarbonate and i have tried with a layers of cellophane wrap and a reflective tape at the top to make the light "bounce back".
Want to give it a try at least to have a first saber, and then maybe look at upgrading in the future

I know
And I am in no rush, just very excited on the response.

Update FYI.
The application is still ongoing (it was some final adjustments on the white mask and trouble finding time to take photos) but I have hopes.
Last sent (this friday) was profile and action photos to the GML.
ps. Started the wotk on the lightsaber hilt. Will keep you updated. ds
-
Minor fixes made and better lighting in photos. My gut feeling is that I am ready to send my application. is my gut feeling right?!

First draft of blackout mask (here placed behind the white mask). Eyes not cut yet.

Trial one on making backout mask by myself
Formfit to my face.
-
I have experimented with small buttons and velcro to have the cape stay in its place, so I can try move those holders so there is less excess on each side. I looked at it now and there is about 10 cm on each side that hang loose over the shoulder and that might be a bit to much. And I also experiment with ways to ease the weight on the back.
-
You are correct on the light there and knot
I think maybee the effect can be more visible if i can add a little more gap in where the to tunics cross (the outer tunic will cross maybee a bit lower than now) also?
And the cape. Shoulder to shoulder in width? or should I make it a bit (and if so, how much) wider ? atm there is excess width as staed earlier.
WIP on Revan (planning stage)

What do you mean exactly?
Is it just a state that it is weird that the pieces just do not line up, or is it the lineup of my template that is weird in some way?
And if it is the second, what can I do to fix the template other than what I have suggested in my reply with the attached ref image? (or will my suggestions in that reply be enough?)
Or do you maybe mean that it does not line up on the sides (where front pieces meet back pieces)? That is just my template that mess up big time when I put it together and that will be fixed when I build the final pieces
(I have made both front and back pieces extra wide so I have excess material to trim instead of by accident making a piece too small)
