Hey Dave, looks like you're off to a great start!

I found the place I got my belt/pouches from if you're still chasing some sources, it comes with the capsules too -

Any particular saber tickling your fancy?

Hi Dave! So far so good.

I'd probably rethink the robe as the hood doesn't look like it would meet the standards - b. The hood should be large enough so that (1) when the hood is up, the sides of the hood drape to extend to or cover the shoulders and (2) when down, the tip of the hood should fall near the small of the back (or lower).

Might scrape in, but I'd more likely guess you'd get pulled up on it. As it's only an optional extra, I'd try to meet some of the other choices as they are probably cheaper than a new robe.

Also be careful of this one - a. Tabard construction should be such that the front tabards do not overlap. This is often accomplished by constructing the tabards in a “Y” formation where any seam joining the tabard below the obi to the tabard above the obi is covered by the obi. Tabards may cross in the back. Tabards may be sewn together in the back.

Some people are able to get away with it just from how it fits them, but I wasn't as lucky. I hade to reshape them a little to make them sit properly.

Velcro/Snaps/Hooks will be your best friend to try and keep everything in place.

Keep the photos coming, it's really starting to take shape!

Thanks for the reply mate.
Small update. Light saber shipped today from the USA. Hopefully I get it to rock at dreamworld.

Getting som ulterations made to the pants and getting maybe a button or Velcro added the the under shirt.

Regarding my belt I notice everyone gets another. Not sure why mine seems to look ok I just need another pouch and those food pelets.

Regarding the robe I might try it in again to see where it sits.

Anyone going to dreamworld ?

I tried my robe on again and yeah its no good. might have to look into some add ons for the belt to meet standards.

I'll see you at DW! If I'm not running around in a blue mandalorian, I'll be the green and grey jedi.
Hopefully your saber arrives in time.
