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

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.
James

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
