Sith Acolyte

[Guest Anonymous]

Wore mine at C6 the other day. I think I ran into Jaster.

 

Unfortuneately, I am going to have to sell it. I just don't have the chances to troop it, and now I have a wedding to plan, so will need to start saving money.

On a different note..........

 

The boots arrived

 

 

 

Aright, where did you get those boots...?

[Guest darren1970]

OK, so got some of the additional bits I needed from KB to complete the KWdesign kit.

 

Got the elbows done tonight

 

 

Oh, I've had a bit of an idea on how to wear the 'vader-arms' with the armour parts on the arms.

Stay tuned for more info once I get the biceps sorted .

Made a bit more progress on the arm armour and 'vader-sleeves'.

 

Here's a pic of the current set-up ( with hand, forearm, elbow and bicep armour ).

 

 

These are worn over my 'vader sleeves' ( here's a close-up )

 

 

My method of attaching these is;...........

 

Elbow and forearm are first attached to the vader sleeve with industrial velcro.

The bicep is a 2 part 'clam-shell' construction which closes over the top of the 'vader sleeve' ( again with velcro ).

Finally the glove/hand armour goes on.

 

Interested to hear what you guys think of how it looks.

That looks great Darren!

 

And Jaster, I'm loving your new avatar. Have you got a link to a bigger version?

[Guest Anonymous]

Agreed. Joined just to see this thread and keep an eye on it. I'm starting to source some items for this build and this has been a great resource so far.

The guy that did it has done a couple from SWTOR and will be putting them on his deviantart site soon.

When he does I'll post a link here, you can also see some on his Facebook page just look for Matt Difa.

Hey guys. I just finished my own scratch-built version of the Acolyte mask; I didn't want to hijack anyone's thread with my own photos and such, so if you're interested in seeing what I've done, you can check it out here:

Thanks for that. I found him and his work

[Guest [RBG]_Jaster]

Yeah he does awesome work, he did my Satele Shan tattoo at CVI.

[Guest darren1970]

Got a bit more done today.

 

I've attached the elbow and forearm pieces to the 'vader arms' so they can be pulled on as a sleeve.

 

Also got the butt plate and biceps sorted ( these are KB's parts - the rest of the armour is KW ).

 

 

 

And here it is with the robe ( it's a shame that most of the armour is covered )

 

 

Last things to do are the boot armour ( on the way ) and I have to make the 'spike' greeblies for the forearms.....then it's in for clearance.

Looks good mate, well done.

AWESOME! Looks GREAT! I'm gearing up to start building one of these myself! VERY WELL DONE!

Aright, where did you get those boots...?

 

33 days later...

 

Darren!

 

Shoes?

 

Where get you them!?

 

[Guest darren1970]

Sorry mate, got lost in the thread.

 

I'll have a search through my paypal when I get back home and see if I can find where I got em.

 

I basically just did a search on Chelsea work boots and these cam e up.

[Guest darren1970]

I know we've discussed this previously, but there is definately something between the ab and chest plates.

 

So I did a little experimenting. I've added a detail line and shaded part to the top of the ab. This then matches up with a piece of matte vinyl that I've cut the match the 'shape' in the refs. This piece also extends under the chest plate which will effectively hide the zipper ( bonus ).

 

 

What do you guys think?

 

Darren

[Guest [RBG]_Jaster]

Yeah looking good mate.

Darren- how did you hook the armor to the vader arms? Velcro?

 

Also, how did you hook the biceps to the shoulder bells? Elastic?

[Guest [RBG]_Jaster]

I got the Star Wars The Old Republic Encyclopedia last week.

There are a couple of good referance pics, I'll try and scan them and put them up tomorrow.

Hi mate.

 

Yep, industrial velcro to attach the forearms and elbows to the 'vader arms'

The shoulders are velcro'd to the undersuit. At present the biceps ( which I attach 'clamshell style' ) basically stay in place due to their tightness. Will probably attache them more permanently tho.

Thanks Darren! The rest of my Kevin B? armor is being shipped, and I have fabric ordered for the Vader Arms. I can't wait to get some momentum again and try to finish this build!

[TK Keith]

Got my mask from Mynock last week and am finally able to post a few pics. I am really please with how it came out! I was able to frighten the heck out of some of my middle school students. Now I just need to finish the rest of my armor!

 

 

 

[Guest [RBG]_Jaster]

I scaned the pics from the Star Wars The Old Republic Encyclopedia but they didn't turn out to good so I wont bother posting them.

[Guest darren1970]

Tried a new technique of applying weathering to the armour.

 

Use a watered down wash of black acrylic then dabbed it off with an old sponge to give it a random patina.
