Used three different colour paints. Then rubbed down slowly but surely with soft wire wool.
Where you planning to buy your armour from ?

that would be great! not sure if you found the robe yet but found it on etsy

[JamesMapes2017]

I haven't bought my robe yet no. It would be off Etsy store. Expensive but I am going to accuracy.

Overall I like the appearance of this robe. However, the second red stripe (top-most stripe) on this one appears rather thick compared with the CRL.  The CRL says the second stripe should be approximately 1/2 inch wide. I might suggest looking around to see if there are other options.

 

Here's another option on Etsy, but I wish it had pictures of the robe on a mannequin or person. I also don't see details on what the robe is constructed from.  https://www.etsy.com/listing/159853467/sith-acolyte-costume-poplin-robe-in?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=sith+acolyte+robe&ref=sr_gallery-1-3&organic_search_click=1&frs=1

Hi TK Kieth.

I have been working on small bits here and there but I don't feel I'm at the stage where I can show much progress from my last update. I know that was some time ago now but as soon as I feel happy with the work I will post up more pics for feedback.

Work has also slowed my build down a fair bit as well.

Thanks for asking though.

I hear ya- many builds have an ebb and flow to the amount of time we can put into them.  

 

LOL I have a FO-TK riot baton kit that has been sitting on my workbench for like 2 years.  

 

Stay healthy and enjoy your build!

I can ask the maker if they can follow the CRL guidelines

Awesome, I hope they will be able to do that!

So it has been a very very long time since I posted here.

I am in the final stages of finishing off the sith acolyte.

Armour is all painted up just need to add some hidden padding in the areas where shall we say "armour bites" are likely to occur as is the case with my RWA TK.

I have a question though before shelling out £££ on incorrect robe. I wanted to double if not triple check before going ahead with purchasing robe from Etsy

https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/958681431/star-wars-sith-acolyte-costume-100-wool

So will the above robe meet 501st UKG approval and clearance?

Second question neck seal.
Want to get this from Darmans props is this also approved for 501st UKG clearance ?

https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/533452618/swtor-sith-acolyte-neck-seal

Looking to order these shortly if given the thumbs up.

Hope to hear back from you soon.
Take care and stay safe.

Ánimo!Deseando verlo…

I would recommend you ask the UKG GML specifically.  I believe I have seen that robe get approved by other troopers. 
 

I’m not sure if other troopers have used that neck seal or not.  

[JamesMapes2017]

Hi TK Keith.

Would you be able to let me know who in the UK GML I need to speak with ?

James,

You’ll need to sign up to their forum and post the question there.
