Revan Updates and Improvements

[Darth Cody]

I just wanted to have a post where I can occasionally share things I have changed/done to my personal Wicked Armor Darth Revan. Also, would appreciate any insight others have as to making the costume more detailed or just less of a hassle. Thanks

Update, removed the strings attaching the rings and replaced with leather.

Due to the elastic straps snapping that held the gauntlet armor in place, I used industrial velcro squares to attach them now.

Having just recently purchased from you, I appreciate this a lot!

I am really needing to update my armor and I thank you so much for your photos. Did you attach the leather for the rings with glue or another type of adhesive?

[Darth Cody]

I used hot glue myself. It works well, but be careful on the side rings, makes the fit a bit tighter where the front and back armor come together.

THIS MAKES ME HAPPY TO SEEEEEE.

Also, do you have both a front and back set or just front?

I have the same lightsaber, but with a silver activation switch. Now I just need to wait on the purple version. So worth the purchase

[Darth Cody]

Also, decided to weather my Rev-n a bit. Figured Revan's saber should look used, not like a shelf queen.

Spent some time tonight doing some emergency surgery on a gauntlet, reattaching a couple of my leather ring holders, and reattaching part of my Cape mount due to it to failing during my last troop. 7 troops in and I have definitely had to work on this again after almost each one, even if they are minor fixes. 

If anyone has some things they wouldn't mind sharing that have worked with a Wicked Armor Revan and improvements you may have made, especially for durability, please feel free to post.

Waiting myself on VV to do the "Reborn" style hilt. They said on Facebook later this year that they were planning on it.

Sadly, due to some heat damage on my Lions Den Revan Mask, I will be switching to the Wicked Armor mask as well. The silver lining is that I have been trying to fix my LD mask, which has gotten to look pretty good again so I will just use as a permanent display. And factoring in the WA mask has an under mask that might help cut back on some of my mask fogging issue hopefully. Anyone with the WA mask feel like the under mask helps much? 

[Darth Cody]

Have my rings pulled off, to add the new red lining around the bottom. I think that red accent will really make it all pop though.

So one thing I did to my WA set is I made sturdy shoulder straps out of nylon webbing, to attach the chest and back plates together. I also use the straps to anchor my capelet so it doesn't go anywhere.

I'm digging these Revan improvement threads. I got approved last November, and I was already going to re-make my hood and stuff, so might as well start doing it now!

This looks slick!

I need to redo mine (again) as I forgot to put in the flexible structure strip to keep it from folding under itself.
