My Darth Nihilus Champions of the Force Build

Recommended Posts

So I am getting my costume from Wicked Armor because it looks sick and I understand he is a trusted member who is well respected as a vendor too.

 

here is a picture of his costume. The gloves I ordered are awesome and super comfy as well, they are made by Milwaukee leather. My saber that is arriving in Feb. is a hand made custom Darth nihilus saber, it is pictured below. It will have all the works: Nano Biscotte v3 soundboard with 2 fonts, removable red dayblade, covertech clip, and flash on clash.

Hi and welcome

 

I´m sorry to say it, but the gloves looks wrong, they do not reach high enough up on your arm and are not gauntleted the right way - as to the CRL :

  • The black leather gloves are gauntleted with a shaft reaching halfway up the forearm.
  • There is no flare on the gauntlet.
  • The gloves must be free of straps, buckles, snaps, or extra decorations.

Here is a link for the photo from the CRL :  http://databank.501st.com/databank/File:SL_nihilus_cotf_gloves.jpeg  -  like on the pic from WA, you can see, how high the gloves go.

 

I really like your saber and looking forward to see your costume finished.

 

Edit :  I found a link for a pair, that are more correct and actually the ones, I think, that most of us use... : http://www.ebay.com/itm/MENS-BLACK-MEDIEVAL-RENAISSANCE-GAUNTLET-GLOVES-MADE-IN-USA-/171054688953

Just to make sure. Can we see your gloves worn with a full shot of your arm? They'll need to verify that with the approval photos as well.

 

Also verify with your seller that your belt was ordered several sizes larger than you're used to since Nihilus has 4+ bunched layers around the waist. Those belts are expensive and you don't want to get them in the wrong size.

Loving the saber, I am going to order one sometime in the future. I have those gloves linked up above and they are good gloves and are accurate. 

Can't wait to see your Nihilus!! You are making me impatient for mine to be done lol :vader:

Much better gloves  :wink:  - they look a bit big on you, but hopefully, when you get the costume, it will not be so visible.

I hope I don't have to find another pair of gloves because that is the style of how he makes those.....

I got baby hands so the gloves MWA made me got rejected by my GML. Are you able to pick things up okay with your gloves?
