Darth Nihilus COTF Hood Template?


WilliamZ

Recommended Posts

Hi! I'm a current member of the 501st and am looking to make Darth Nihilus  (COTF). I have been looking at this tutorial here https://web.archive.org/web/20181119011234/http://chucrew.com/Nihilus/hood.html here and am wanting to make my own design based off of this. I noticed that he uses 2 separate pieces for the hood and cloak. But has anyone ever made it all 1 piece before? And if so, is there a template for such? Thank you!

Hi 

I made mine in one piece - as to a pattern, I havent found one yet, so I just winged it... you can see my build here : https://www.theflagshipeclipse.com/forums/index.php?/topic/3864-wip-nihilus-coft/    

It is a bit hard to explain but I put velcro inside the vacumformed hood, sewed velcro on the fabric, attached it and then pulled it over the hood and down the back.  For the front of the hood, I sewed in a piece of fabric to hide the gape between the form and the mask,  I made the knot in front at the chest and shortened the cape, done.
