WIP German Revan, looking for feedback

[Bhelia]

Hi folks,

 

I'm asking for Timo from Germany. He's currently putting together a Revan costume to be approved by the 501st. As I do the fabric parts of the costume I want to help him getting approved but I see some trouble with his chest armor so far.

What do you think?

 

 

 

Thanks!

I am a little concerned about the location of the top of the Big O-Ring(BOR) being placed fairly high, a very common and usually simple fix. Aiming for 50% or lower on the bottom copper band is a good number, but certainly not below the band either. Adjusting the straps to be a little longer is the easiest way to drop the ring.

 

The color in the picture appears to be a very brown color, and could use some metallic copper added to it unless the lighting is perhaps off a little.

 

The "eyes" on the chest piece appear to be incorrectly shaped, needing a point in the bottom middle. That being said I believe I have seen a few costumes passed with the oval rounded bottom on the eyes, so it is something that the GML would have to consider. For a more-accurate representation I would certainly change it. For an approval, I am currently unsure if I would require the change or not. Once ready for an actual approval, I can find some discussion history on similar builds and try to establish a precedent on the matter.

 

Overall the hard pieces appear to be very much in the ballpark of what we're looking for and I definitely look forward to seeing the costume with the soft pieces, we'll have another great Revan to display in our family.

Agree in all points mentioned by Darthtagion specially the lack of bronze copper colour
