Despite this being listed on 501st as an approved no list for it yet so I'm just going to add one here for now so I can start getting opinions.

 

Here's the 501st page: http://www.501st.com/databank/Costuming:DZ-Sinya

So my first question is going to be about boots, or more to the point which is a better boot to use for Sinya. I have two choices, I'm afraid the first choice is not going to have a big enough heal but here they are:

That's what I thought I as thinking Id use the other for the Visas Marr.

 

Next question for the head gear/white skin.

 

I was thinking the parts where the 'skin' showed through the head piece I can use the same material I use to make the Lekku. Would this be okay or would it have to be painted like my face?

 

Thanks again for all the help.

I'm going to get a twin sister - yeah!

 

The second boots are the better choice, I think.

You don't need to shave and paint your forehead. The "skin" you can see through the headpiece, is a part of the Lekku-cap.

 

Can't wait to see some pictures of the work in progress. If you have any questions about this costume, please just ask.

 

best wishes

Tiana: what did you use for your material for the lekku?

Oh-Oh-Oh …

I know, there are some lekku to buy onlinearrow-10x10.png. Most of them look great, but they weren't long enough for my plans. The Sinya-lekku is an unusual self-construction I did, because it seems that I was just too stupid to get a satisficing result with latex milk ...

 

Okay, short version: The inner life is made of 12 mm thick PLZ sheets (same material like pool noodles are made of). I cut it in different sized circles. I threaded them on a solid fishing line.

I covered it with a nylon stocking and quilting mat.

The outside layer is flexible faux leather.

I used a lot of acrylic sealant to fill the gap between head-cap and lekku and painted it with acrylic colour.

This is just a rough overview. If you like, I can send you the more detailed tutorial I wrote a few years ago. Unfortunately it is in German, but I attached a lot of pictures and I think, if you understand the main principle, it should work.

Good evening.

 

I saw that there was a question about the linen fabric. I took a close picture to show the structure.

 

It's table-cloth linen. I found it in a store for home textiles. I often buy my fabric in such shops, because they have a lot of different textures in different uni-colours.

Most armor parties I know of don't actually get a lot of armor work done, but that is not a bad thing.  :)  You may still get some good answers if you ask the right questions.

I wanted to give an update on this and show my progress I'm almost done I just need bracers - so I guess my question is where did you get your bracers from and does anyone know where I could purchase some from?

Thank you!
