Josh Nicholas - Royal Guard, Return of the Jedi build WIP

Post by Unsung_Spirit »

Early research (links will be added where there is a ??? should an item be found):

Robe: friend is offering to help with outer leaving only the inner also contacted a seamstress and consultation is free.

Gloves: Seamstress is open to working on gloves pending consultation

Boots: https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/1863898 ... panel=true (Ankle material CAN be changed from black to a red to match rest of the boot)

Helmet: Raw cast on offer with Kamino might get this to avoid mismatch of colour with robes.
Fall back plan for helmet: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/STAR-WARS-ROY ... 2212833957?

Force Pike: Arranged to be a part of CabbageFarmers June batch (Acquired)

The gloves are not acceptable for RoTJ as they are leather. The only guard with leather gloves is RoTS

There is a drop down which swaps them for the suede material. They sell both but the page defaults to the leather.

For the suede version, you will need them to match the colour of your inner robe fabric.

So might be an idea to buy the gloves before doing work on the robe?

If you know somone with the skills to make gloves, or can do it yourself, you can make them from the same fabric you buy for inner robes.

Yeah keeping that as an option there are also some decent seamstress near me so might have them help with robes.
