V-cell's ROTJ build

Post by V-cell »

I think I may be able to submit my costume for official approval, but I before I do so I would like the SP members comments. As I already learned from reading comments for others...I will definitely hem the robes an extra inch or two. Thanking you all for your time and perspectives.

So here we go, first off...the man behind the bucket:

Inner Robes:

Boots (German Jackboot Circa 1950 - had new soles put in, as well as a set of Dr. Scholl's)

I would actually leave the hem right where you have it. The only thing I would recommend is that you maybe consider painting your bucket to better match the colour of your outer cloak. The rest is looking good.

Thank you Stripes. I thought that it would be a closer match than what actually came out (2 shades darker). I may begin the sanding, coating and glossing process all over again.
