COTF Nihilus WIP


DarthCephalus

Recommended Posts

I Figured I would copy my WIP thread from the 501st.  

I am waiting for several items to get in, but the maker has pretty detailed images, so I figured I might get these images up ASAP. They should be exactly as they will arrive to me. The following several components are/will be from Wicked Armor. Again, these images are theirs. I will do other parts in a second post. Since this is being done by commission, any input would be good as I might be able to correct issues before it ships without having to mod it after arrival.

SABER
Nihilus hilt from Holochron Sabers. D-ring belt attachment. Activation button near D-ring. Unstable red day blade from Ripper Blades. Blade is removable. I may eventually pimp this out with sound, but as of now, it is a stunt model.

GLOVES
These are just leather fencing gloves. I will polish out the slight stain on the one in the first image. Last one is a bit blury, but I was using t mostly just to show how far up my arm they come.

BOOTS

These are pretty standard size 12s. I don't know about the flap on the top. It won't be seen under the Hakama, but it if is a deal breaker, I can tuck it to the inside or cut it off.

BELT

This one is not complete, but I have the parts. If anyone has any design notes, I am interested to hear them. I did not like the flat buckle on the CRL, so I thought of this design instead. Inner belt is 2" leather, Outer belt is 1/2" leather. Inner belt overlaps in the back with a band for the excess. Outer belt wraps around it, secured by Chicago screws, and buckles in the back with a small buckle that will be concealed by the cape. First pic is the rough design, second and third are the parts.

ELT
This is the belt. I need to finish the edges on the outer belt with an edge slicker, but this is pretty much how it will look. Sorry for how dirty the mirror is in the last shot.

And with that, I think all the pieces are set. I just need to get the last ones in from WA and put it all together.

Very nice work - you look great :wink:  - though you need to get the cape to go over the shoulders and down the back. You can get it to hold its place with either snaps or velcro - I did mine with snaps, more secure. 

Thanks for the tip. The last pic was actually the first. After I took that one, I figured out to throw the cape over my shoulders. Just doing that holds pretty well, but I do have a couple safety pins set aside for next time.

Agreed. Very nice.

I also use snaps on mine. Please allow me to welcome you to the Brotherhood of Hunger!

Thank you all. I was able to take it for a spin at the local wildlife safari for their Halloween event. Lots of fun and high fives were had and lots of pictures were taken. Can’t wait to do this with a troop. The only thing left is to get things to calm down enough that I get a chance to take the official submission pictures.
