Skirt and cape dimensions

Post by Cmaroon »

Hi everyone, I'm moving along in my build of the mandalorian praetorian guard, and am trying to plan cutting out the cape/skirt portions. I thought that using my hot toy as a reference would get me to rough sizing (multiplying size by 6, as the hot toy is a 1/6th scale model) but after looking at how much of the yoke the cape portion would cover, I can tell that the length I calculated would be too wide.

Does anyone have general width and/or length measurements for the cape and skirts?

Thanks!

Hi!

Sorry I didnt see this thead earlier, I would've shown you mine.

For the cape at least, you want it wide enough that it just mostly covers the rear aspect of the ab girdle, and extends a little bit into the part that slopes down on the backplate. Here's how mine looks, we had to guesstimate the width at first and then trim a little bit at a time when we found it too wide. You also want to avoid wrinkles as much as possible.

Its hard to give an exact dimension since we have a variety of kits available and with 3d printing the width of the backplate can vary depending on scaling.
