Tips for my Nihilus

[Mognathal]

Hello i was looking for opinions on my Nihilus costume, i know that the crown is too high and is not attatched properly and im looking for a solution. Also need new gloves and to fix the knot for the cape.

Also looking for tips on how to improve the hood.

I can absolutly help, I’ll send you some stuff when I’m home

I've become approved with some help from my local garrison, but i would love your opinion.

So my crown is actually more of a headdress, it wraps around my head and is pointed on the corners near the forehead (picture 2) and when i wear it without the mask it sits on my forehead pointing forward with the cape draping over ( picture 3 and 4) 

when the mask is wore everything compresses together and creates the full head (picture 5) I got this headdress piece from @Twi'lek Pamwhen she WAS doing runs of them.

Glancing at her website it appears she doesn't do runs anymore but I'm sure if you reach out on her website she might be able to help you in creating one yourself.

for your gloves i would recommend these from etsy, but please consult the crl  before purchasing anything, taking a peak they look to meet criterial.

as far as retying the knot at the front

sadily i haven't had to retie it just yet so i can't speak on how to do it, but we have many darth nihilus in flagship I'm sure someone has had to do it and could advise further.

 

if you want advice or additional help I'd be happy to help so don't hesitate to ask.

You dont happen to know of a vendor for the COTF lightsaber?

Bought one from lucifersaber and i'm not that happy with it.

[LordZedel]

I realized today that I had given incorrect information reguarding the Darth nihilus cotf hilt. I deeply apologize for my blunder. To remedy this error I believe that this would indeed be benifital as the cotf Darth nihilus hilt per the CRL.  https://www.etsy.com/listing/1477891402/star-wars-kotor-darth-nihilus-lightsaber?click_key=7e43b80d83e61bdaec7e4ee5b5ef8ea02961857a%3A1477891402&click_sum=7544bd6a&ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=darth+nihilus+lightsaber&ref=sr_gallery-1-2&organic_search_click=1&pro=1&frs=1
 

while the page says “kotor 2 hilt” it is in fact the cotf hilt when comparing it to the crl

Very nice indeed! Might need to add these to my collection!

The lucifer sabers one is a nice replica, however they really struggled in sending me the config file for the neopixel

I gave my Nihilus hood mold to a friend who has a vac table, but he isn't interested in selling the hoods so he sends them to me and I post them on my Etsy store for him. I let him know that I was out of stock, and he is planning to order more plastic and make another batch. When I get them, I'll renew the sales page on Etsy.
