Re: ROTS Royal Guard for my husband

The whole point of the CRL saying matching was to make it consistent with the colors. That way you don't have a COLOR next to a COLOR
Once I finished Adam's guard for him, he started handling all of his own member stuff. I have since made a second guard for a friend. Today I was asked about pattern pointers, and I realized that I never followed up with final photos here!
I'm including some pattern info for anyone interested. 
For the inner robes and pants I slightly altered Simplicity Pattern 8587. I heavily altered the same pattern for the outer cloak. (I pretty much used it as a starting point to create an entirely new pattern.)
Outer cloak pattern front:
Outer cloak pattern back:
Outer cloak pattern side (x2):
The finished product (We've just recently had the helmet repainted with automotive paint, but we don't have pictures with Adam wearing it yet.) FYI - The camera does weird things to the colors!:
The repainted helmet!!!:
