Yes, in fact my best friend (TR-31617) was instructed to do so by our GML. His helmet sat a little high, so he wears an EVA foam shoulder pad that fills the gap between it and the robe.

Yes, Devlin and I are approved and both use the Leather Mystics gloves. We did have to dye them darker, which was fairly simple after preping them with a solvent and re-dying with Tandy Ox Blood dye.

I know it's optional and it seems most folks go without, but I was curious what the outer robe looks like. I get the AOTC 2 slit style plus a slit down the center of the back, but it seems like the CRL is addressing a specific pose with part of the robe around the hands. A single slit is to be added...

We (TR-31617 and I) have a heavy duty hook and a hidden zipper on that seam.

We heard back from our GML and were told everything looked awesome except the bright red gloves. I kind of expected that (and referenced it in the earlier post) so we went after them with some ox blood leather dye I was able to pick up locally at Tandy. It goes on with a cotton swab on a stick and c...

Force pike I tackled the helmets while Devlin made the weapons. We got a cheap pool cue from Academy that unscrews to two pieces and used sprinkler fittings, a faucet knob, o rings, shrink wrap, and a grease gun fitting to make them. I'll try to get pictures from him or ask him to post the step by s...

Boots and gloves For gloves we went to Leather Mystics. They are well made but their size suggestion seems off or I can't measure the way they do. It suggested a medium, which made me suspicious, so I went with large and feel like I may have been better served with XL. They're a bright red so I have...

Robes Will add image later, first try was Brobdingnagian. The red velvet was purchased locally at a Hancock fabric. Inside is crimson red gabardine from Fashion Fabrics Club. Again, we were going for most screen accurate for the build, although the way I read the CRL makes me think it hints at all v...

Howdy folks! It's been a while since I posted, but I finally submitted a couple weeks ago. I was waiting on my belt to be finished and am still not 100% satisfied with my helmet paint. My best friend and I have identical builds, so we look awesome as a pair with a local Vader... https://i.imgur.com/...
