That looks really sharp Alan. Nice job. I want to know how long you last in the heat!

 

Would be perfect for a Polar Plunge troop or any sort of winter troop. Haha.

 

Seriously though... Nice upgrade, Sir.

yep it is super hot in there but not as bad as my clone trooper.

 

got some good images from my last troop

Great pics... !

 

Just remember to get a lot of water, when you troop - the wool can be a silent killer

[en-zozallow]

Thanks for the heads up

 

Yep I tend to drink loads of water when trooping but yep you are right its hot in there

[DarthBrute]

I was looking at that too but I was thinking more of a cotton twill.

[DarthTagion]

Alan can we get a look at your attachments for the hood and how you make that work? I'm curious how you've got that going and I think we'd all like to see if you've got something that works well for you.

[en-zozallow]

The Hood is now a cowl that wraps around my shoulders. and velcros in the front under the chest plate.

 

Ill take some images tonight and post them here .

[DarthTagion]

Excellent. I think the 'capelet' and getting that situated is one of the hardest fittings we have, and certainly is the hardest part for me to always make sure is primped correctly before a troop.

[en-zozallow]

ok this is my improved hood and cowl

 

 

 

the material wraps around my shoulders and under the chestplate .. and it velcros together

 

this way you have the perfect cowl from the original 3d render of the game soemthing MWA is missing

 

once its velcro together this keeps the hood from losing that shape. also the weight of the material makes it wrap arounf my head making it look more menace and avoiding been moved by wind when trooping outside

[DarthTagion]

Nice job, thanks for sharing!

[Ketchup]

Beautiful! I was just commenting to one of our Vaders I'd love to have a wool set of robes one day. Mine are raw silk, for convention use only. I'd like to have a more versatile set. Is it heavy at all?

 

The cowl looks much better than the MWA one. Awesome!!

[en-zozallow]

it is heavy but to be honest its not that hot in there

[Ketchup]

Heavy I can handle, I just wonder how it will drape... Looks like you got it to do a fine job. I shall consider it.

[Guest Crixe]

I really like the separated cowl you did. I have been having issues with mine as I attached it to the cloak and well as I'm sure you know it's HEAVY. So the idea of doing this separation I think will help alot. Could you post a photo of what this looks like while being worn so I can see how it lays to create one like it? seeing it flat helps but it doesn't give me the lay how it would be before covered with armor and such. So any photos you could submit could help me finish up the fabric of mine and I'd be really appreciative. Thanks

have a look at my site http://alanmolina.co.uk/projects/revan there are loads of images there

[andrewhitc]

Sorry, but you re-sew all cloth parts to wool?

[en-zozallow]

Yep I bin all the cloth parts and made all the new cloth parts from scratch in wool

[Rejean]

I have to say again Allen you did a phenomenal job man absolutely amazing.

[en-zozallow]

Thank you

 

 

It is nice to see how a costume always can be improved .. and looking at the before and after is the best part

[Rejean]

Can you post a pic that you would have to make, where you have the original soft parts and the wool ones side by side from the same angle? That would be cool to see. I'd just use an old troop pic crop it and then paste. In a new pic a new paste it in beside it. i would love to see one with the hoods myself. I love that the wool one DOSEN'T come to a peak, so much more menacing looking in my opinion.

[Rejean]

something like this...

 

 

the first one is rob in his MWA Revan, then Allen in his Wool softs, and the game screen shot.

 

I like the way the wool falls on Allen's Hood best.

[en-zozallow]

From Left to Right

 

Left first approval images after a few mods to make it clearable with the UKG

 

Middle Upgraded Mask and wool

 

Right is the way the wool falls around my face not the tent looking type of the original soft parts

 

the mask is the old one there but that image shows the new wool fits and wraps your body like it should in the game.

 

Using soft fabrics in my opinion makes it look like fancy dress rubies etc

a friend is looking to do a malgus looking type sith so he asked me to use this mask that lights up when you talk or breath

Soo cool, great pics!
