First Jedi Build - PhantomBlade - 13-11-2016

I'm a traitor to the Empire. Sorry Apok!

I need something interesting to wrangle in, and the ISB just doesn't cut it, so I figured I'd give this Jedi business a shot.

I'm going to have a long sleeved inner tunic, (sorry for the blurry photo. Lousy photographer)

And a blue sleeveless outer tunic. With green tabards and obi.

Not sure what I'm doing for the belts and boots yet. I've got some calf high boots, but they've got multiple short spikes on the heel so I'm not sure if they're appropriate. And I might actually use my ISB belt, but use an alternate buckle. Thoughts?

I'm looking at getting a saber from Custom Oz Sabers on the gold coast, but he's had some mixed reviews so I"m going to do a bit more research on him first. $70 for a saber is rather tempting though.

Welcome to the light side , don't worry about Apok , he's a rebel at heart .

Hey there PhantomBlade,

If you are looking to make up your own tunic, obi and tabards you can take measurements from my own tunic set if you like.

These belts are a good start and fine to use as they don't cost much to buy:

You can simply buy Jedi style boots for women from any women's show outlets. Your boots must be the same colour as the belt. No laces or excessive buckles. Zippers should be on the inside of the boots. Leather boots are better as they will wear better and hold up over time.

There are a range of inexpensive sabers without sound from this outlet:

The INITIATE V4, APPRENTICE V4, INITIATE LE V4, PROPHECY V3, BELLICOSE, SHOCK, CONSULAR, MANTICORE, ARCHON V3.1, THE GUARDIAN, LOST GRAY, FULCRUM, MENACE CE and THE GRAFLEX SE are good choices for a Jedi Lightsaber.

Welcome to the Rebellion!

Jeadus has given some great info in his post!

If you're after a Covertec Clip for hanging your lightsaber I have a spare you can have, they're not overly expensive but it may save you a couple bucks atleast.

RE: First Jedi Build - PhantomBlade - 14-11-2016

Thanks for the offer Moo, I've already got one for my Maul saber.

Currently boot hunting. Such fun.

RE: First Jedi Build - PhantomBlade - 19-02-2017

3 months later.....I'll have a quick build one day.

I haz lightsaber.

From Custom Sabers Oztralia. Seems pretty good for $100. So if anyone is after a local sabersmith I think he's your only option.

Got some new boots-

And am currently working on the belt. Would these be acceptable for belt pouches do you think?

Seems I'm stalking you PhantomBlade, I've decided to betray the empire as well Smile

RE: First Jedi Build - PhantomBlade - 13-05-2017

I think I"m done. I originally had a blue outer tunic, but was told it was too bright. So grey it is.

Now to find the link to the approval submissions

RE: First Jedi Build - Moo - 13-05-2017

I really like the grey and green.

How'd you go finding the submission section?

I'm not even sure if I'm looking in the right place, but I have a 'My Costumes' option just above the 'REMINDER: Do not change your e-mail address yourself. Please read this first for why.'

If I click on that it allows me to add a costume, and then fill out the application form.

I imagine it should be the same for you? Apologies for the terrible explanation.

On a side note, what was the turn around time like with Custom Sabers Oztralia? Semms like a great price, and local too which is always a plus.

RE: First Jedi Build - PhantomBlade - 13-05-2017

I'm glad you like the colour. I thought it was a rather nice grey when I found it.

I had an 8 week turnaround on the saber. He seems to vary between 4-10 weeks depending on whether he has the particular saber in stock, whether it's a replica etc.

Found the submission link, looks like I'd been logged out, and you can't see the link unless you're logged in. Now the wait begins.
