Working on my Revan

[Kel Ardan]

I've chosen Revan as my first 501st costume and just ordered the deluxe stuff from My Wicked Armor. I've been in The Rebel Legion as a Jedi for a few years but it's time to turn to the Dark Side. I've already got a Old Republic Saber in purple and I'll be picking up a Revan saber from Vaders Vault in red when it comes out. I've got one question, what boots are everyone wearing and I'd appreciate any suggestions on where to pick some up.

 

Thank you all for any suggestions.

Check out the post "Revan Boots"

 

I own the medievil gothic boots from darknightarmoury.com

Simple and black are the easiest way to go, no excessive ridges or treads, otherwise most work. Due to the hakama, the only visible parts are below the ankle, and if you wear pants over the outside of the boot nothing else gets seen anyway.

So today I ordered my Revan saber from Vaders Vault. Hopefully I get everything together before Megacon.

Vaders vault is an amazing saber smith. Very happy with their quality

 

Only thing i didnt like from their Revan line up was the pommel

 

The Wookipedia and Game reference have the pommel the same color / slightly darker than the hilt

 

 

but Vader Vault pommel and Nocturn armoury / which is my saber maker has them black with silver squares

One of the things that has me excited for the Vader's Vault one is it's in thier combat class. That makes it much thinner them most everyone's sabers (my daughter's have a Havoc and a Fury) ams they are really great for twirling.

absolutely by all means that saber is great and im just commenting as a personal opinion

[Kel Ardan]

No, I love Nocturne's stuff a ton too. I have a KOTOR Saber made by LDM that I will use as my off hand purple saber. I'd post a pic but it says board hit reached limit?

My MWA had shipped and I ordered my boots from Dark Knight Armory till I can get custom leather boots done, and I also got my Vader's Vault Rev-N saber. I have a question though, how long does it usually take to get approved once you've submitted your pics? I know the process is a little different from the standard 501st one.

Here are pics of the Vader's Vault Rev-N Saber.

I got my package yesterday and now I just have to get someone over to help line it up and put it together.

[Kel Ardan]

So I had a couple people over and we couldn't get things pinned right. Is there a trick I'm missing, lol?

What r you having trouble with?

[DarthTagion]

My first suggestion is that if you plan on wearing this in the long run, pins will hold you back.  They're good to get set up with, but check out a thread like this one for assembly help:

There are other ways as well, but this should get you in the ballpark.   Please post pictures of where you're at in your assembly and we'll be able to investigate your trouble some more.
