Hey guys, just a quick question. I just submitted my photos for approval to my GML and I'm being informed that I may either need to dye my robes or repaint my bucket to get clearance. Is this a common request? becuase i really dont want to repaint my bucket and velvet is expensive to dye. Depending...

Some additional information added to the work in progress. Additional information will be added soon. Looking to confirm some details on fabrics for shirt and pants.

Any luck finding some better matches on the fabrics after FIDM Dawn? Trying to build out with more details on the CRL in progress.

I've not seen a 3d printed helmet used for this costume as yet... with the heat that is involved it may not be the most stable... especially with that many pieces.

The only other suggestion I could make is having your helmet better match the colour of your cloak

If they are TK they aren't in the right shape... they should be TB with the added ridge details as specified in the CRL

the tape lines on the front of the helmet are too narrow. You need to leave more of the shoulder flares in tact.
