  1. Finally had time to sit down and paint out the design on the tabard. Now I just need to paint the back of it the same color.
  2. Third time on the belt buckle.
  3. Worked on making some slippers for the build. Secured the wraps to a set of slippers my wife had. This way she has some traction and not just walking on the wraps. I left some of the wrap sticking up, so they can be covered when the leg wraps are put on.
  4. Didn't like the way the buckle turned out, so I'm on to my third one. This one looks a lt better so far, just need to paint now. Also have been looking for a good shot of the tattoos on her head. Does any one have good shots from all sides and the top? Are there templates out there any where? Had a few issue with the top being made, in the process of making the fixes. Pictures to come soon.
  5. Started to lay out the tabard on paper, but it's hard to fit all that into a smaller area, since my wife isn't that tall. I drew out one half, because the other side is a mirror image. Also close to finishing the buckle. I have all the parts, just need to get paint.
  6. I was thinking of doing something like that, but not sure how to do it. That looks like it would work. Thanks for the video.
  7. Any thoughts on what to do for the bottom of the foot, so you don't wear through the wraps, and that will give you a little comfort?
  8. Trying to decide the width of the tabard, so I cut out two in paper. The left one is 2" wider than the top. The right one is 4" wider. Looking at some of the pictures, it does look like it may be the wider one. What are your thoughts?
  9. Pics of the wraps that I finished dying yesterday.
  10. Pics from my wife's first fitting. Still need some adjustments on the sleeves. Seamstress also needs to do the holes on the front and back. Next fitting in a few days.
  11. Thanks for the feedback. I'll give the paper one a try. That will also help with laying out the pattern on the suede. Have a question about the bald cap and paint. Any input on what type of paint or make up is best?
  12. Does anyone know the width of the tabard at the bottom? I know the top is as wide as the buckle and the bottom is slightly wider. However, in images it looks like it's a 2-4 inches wider that the top.
  13. Carved the belt buckle out today to try and vacuum form it this week.
  14. Picked up some yellowish suede yesterday. The lighting makes this look almost green, but it's actually gold. Also cut up some material to start making the belt. Just need work on the buckle.
  15. My wife is in the process of building a Asajj costume and I have been doing some digging in the same thing. Woodchuck makes a wooden version of her saber hilts. I'll PM you his email so you can contact him if you like. Good luck on your build.
  16. Since neither my wife or I can really sew, we dropped the fabric off at a local seamstress last night and she took all her measurements. She scheduled her to come back on the 9th for fitting. I'll make sure she takes lots of pictures.
  17. Ok, we picked up the fabric for the skirt, top, and leggings. This looks a little purple in the picture, but that's the lighting. It's actually dark blue. Same with this. We are working on trying to find the bandages for the wraps.
  18. My wife say her at Disney this year and fell in love with her look. Now she's ready to start on the project and we could use some help. Here are some of the questions we have to start with. 1. Is there a pattern for the top and dress? 2. How wide is the wrap on the arms, legs, and chest? 3. How big is the buckle? 4. What is the width of the tabard? 5. Where can we get a good bald cap? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
  19. Looks great! I'm actually looking at doing this character too. Any info you can pass along would be great. Thanks
