Hello! I'm based in the UK and am working on my own Darth Talon. I'm a member of the UKG and my bf (who comes on these boards) Dave is currently working on a Cade. I have chosen to make mine from matte black rubber as it looks close to what the fabric should be (and it'll stick and not slip off me lol). I have found an amazing company that actually make flat army style rubber boots here in the UK. I'm working with a few companies to get tips on working with rubber to make the costume and another member of the garrison will be helping with the head piece and metal parts. I have also heard of a body paint someone has used which stays on unless a remover is used, I don't want to smoosh everywhere. I'm going for the whole body paint option with airbrush and stencils (its gonna take bloody ages to get ready!!). I'm working out at the gym to get more muscle on my arms and a little more toned as she looks pretty athletic. I'm doing a Lara Croft costume so I need the gym for both costumes lol

 

Below are some pics of the boots (only pic they had was of the leather version, the rubber are the same shape), a picture of me in someone's Leia bikini before I joined the garrison (I am planning to get my own accurate one soon :wink: ) and a picture of a paint test I did for the face.

I have those face paint images on my computer! Somebody sent them to me a while back, and they were so pretty that I just had to save them! Beautiful!

 

Reel Creations is awesome. It's expensive, but it really stays put. I threw out almost all of the Ben Nye paint that I had left.... now that I've tried Reel Creations, I just can't bear to go back to the stuff that flakes and rubs off easily!

For Gothiclysm's Maladi....we used a combination of sponge & airbrush, mostly airbrush though, at least for the broad application. We penciled & sponged the very small details around the eyes, forehead, and lip, but everything else was airbrush. This was Ben Nye....we'll be switching to Reel Creations too.

Pams awesome site about twileks has the run down on how to do the bodypaint.

Yep, silly me, just spotted that! Very cool... I'll need to get the paint before Steve Herd does the paint job on the head piece so he can match the colour lol. He's gonna be busy til July with something but everything else will take a while to do so I'm cool with that. He said he'd help with the metal parts too! :D
