My WIP

Post by jdouce45 »

Hello All,

I've started an on again/off again project building a ROTJ costume. For some time I was not considering the 501st, but have decided to make it as screen correct as possible and apply for membership. The speed of the project will be slow as I learn new skills and acquire the needed tools and materials for the build. I'm attempting to make as much of the costume myself as possible rather than purchasing parts. This may be silly, but it is where am at this stage of the journey. I have a few photos for review and will post questions as they come up.

Please provide feedback on the color choices of the helmet and the outer robe fabric. I've come as close as I can to matching it using pre mixed paints, which is shown on the scrap of crown moulding under the velvet in one of the images below. The image of the painted helmet is this color as well. I wasn't happy with the gloss I got on that paint job, so it is currently in brown primer and awaiting a fresh paint job.

Thanks,
Jeremy

I apologize for the images above not working, apparently I did something wrong, below are the same pictures which show up in-line correctly.
And please, provide feedback so I can catch errors or missteps sooner rather than later.
