Build under way
Build under way
My rubies helmet arrived today and is about as perfect a fit I could hope for. I have a wee bit of play that I resolved with some simple padding. I'd honestly be hesitant to have gone with anything smaller than this! I'm glad I made the choice I did. I've already got a replacement welder's visor on the way to cut up. I have also gotten my hands on a pool cue and am now hunting for greeblies. I'm intending to do the ringed rasp. At the moment, I am strongly considering the Imperial Boots full set. Since suede boots are a must on the ROTJ, knocking out all the birds with one expensive stone is tempting. Plus, my sewing skills are rudimentary at best, and I think I've exhausted my favors with my seamstress friend.

Re: Build under way
I've got a set from IB, minus the boots which I had to order from a different spot due to my feet being too big for their sizes, 100% worth it though, just as a warning there will be excess so you can hem to your measurements. But looks great and feels like a weighted blanket. Good luck!!!

Re: Build under way
I'm a fan of my IB set too - as above, they'll need hemmed as they're intentionally left long to allow adaptation for individual height.

Re: Build under way
Yeah I was keen to figure out the length situation. I'm glad they do it that way. Didn't want to order something and have it be too short after all.
Though TFU royal guard is singing a siren song of it's own.
From what I understand of how the 501st does things, there are tiers of events? As far as canonicity is concerned. Some events have naturally excluded me as a Mandalorian Merc member seeing as I am not canon in the slightest. Then, expanded canon only. Then strict movie canon above that? So the RoTJ guard would be acceptable at all levels or canonicity whereas a TFU guard could potentially be excluded?
And likewise, since I would want a TFU red guard and not the shadow guard, and the red lacks a crl. It'd be a lot more fuss to get in especially as a first 501st costume when compared against the RoTJ, right?

The Crl for the red is going to be basically the same. The only difference is color of armor parts.

Re: Build under way
Will that include the AotC outer robe w/ backslit? I really like the look of that, but I'd heard that since it's only explicitly shown on the shadowguard that the redguard wouldn't be approvable with it.
