Scratchbuilt Sith Acolyte (a sad story in need of your help)

[kylegilbert]

Hey, @Darkravage! I've not heard any specifics on that, but I have kind of stalled out on my build. I'm so close to being finished, but I got sidetracked selling Rey props on my Etsy Store. Crazy life.

[Darkravage]

No problem. I look forward to talking with you more and seeing your build finish!

After a long break, I'm finally picking back up on this build, and I'm starting completely over, with the exception of my mask and a Vader's Vault acolyte saber that I picked up a couple of years ago. Just finished sewing a new robe out of some seriously heavy material, and I've started printing DO3D's acolyte armor. 

I've also just finished 3d modeling the belt components that weren't included in that package (see the attached image). If anyone here is interested, give me a shout on my page. I've also made a tutorial for strengthening the 3d print, and you can also find that on my Facebook page.

I'm committed to finally making this costume happen at the level it deserves. And I'm going to finish it before summer.

I've seen a few acolytes that have a rounded shape to the pauldrons, and I'm really digging the way they hold the robe, so I decided to 3d model a set tonight. I've started them on the printer, and I'm desperately hoping that I got the scale right. We'll see in about 24 hours.

I made some minor changes to the chest plate, and it's nearly ready to paint. I'll be including photos soon. 

Sanded down the detonator and the pouches once those were printed and gave them a first coat of primer. Feels good to finally get some momentum on this again.

Hi Kyle, just checking in to see if you’ve made any recent progress on your Acolyte?
