Re: Is the Rubie's helmet supposed to be a little crooked?

Thanks for the responses guys...just had a little bit of concern, but you're right.

I looked at youtube videos of the rubies helmet and it's the same way. I even looked at the helmet shown in the CRL, and it looks like it has the same proportions.

All is good.

Was the CRL recently changed? If so, is my robe incorrect?

havent gotten approval yet, but it seems the "front should overlap the back" was recently added, no? on my robes, there are just simple slit openings in the front (like you'd find on ROTS, but just the front). Is this no longer valid? Wanted to make sure before I tried to alter them http:/...

Question on the CRL

I noticed on the pictures in the CRL that the back slits start lower than the front. That is, the front slits open up higher (closer to the shoulder) than the back ones.

But the text doesn't specify. Can the front and back seams be "even"?

Re: Is the Rubie's helmet supposed to be a little crooked?

So, from all the pics I'm seeing of this thing, and even video reviews on Youtube, it looks like this shape is intentional.

Thoughts?

Is the Rubie's helmet supposed to be a little crooked?

Got this in the mail today, and I'm super impressed with the construction (a lot sturdier than I expected), but it seems...crooked. The right shoulder is higher than the left. Not sure if it comes across in the picture, but it's noticeable when you hold it in your hand. I want to say I've seen someo...

Re: Would like some feedback on progress so far

Obi Needs to be 3" tall with the center obi 1". All need to be matching fabric of the under robes. Gloves need to be Velvet as the same as ROTJ style. Thanks for the info. So, re: the gloves. Velvet, but what color? I've seen some people with gloves matching inner robes, others are just k...

Re: Would like some feedback on progress so far

so, the robe maker is under the impression that the colored stripe across the middle is okay, and that several people in Germany and Denmark (with historically strict GMLs) have been approved that way. I will still probably change it, but didn't know if anyone here had seen this design before. also,...

Re: Would like some feedback on progress so far

I don't know if it's just the lighting, but the material for the outer robe looks a bit light to me. It's darker than that...the pictures kept coming washed out. I'll see if I can get a better pic with accurate lighting The part in the middle of the belt should be a little bit wider and of the same...

Would like some feedback on progress so far

I've already asked my GML, and he's given me some feedback and he also said to come here and ask the same. What do you think of the cloak? Specifically the seams and length? What do you think of the underrobe, specifically the belt? Ignore the boots, they are not the final ones...they're just used f...

Are these boots okay?

This is for my wife's costume, in case that matters (men v women) What I didn't realize was that those creases you see are "built in" to the boot. It's not as though the boot is drooping downward. They cannot be straightened. But I was thinking that since it's above the ankle, and covered ...
