Generic Jedi WIP

Those suggestions by Cobalt were really quite interesting, the only thing I would point out is to make sure the snaps and fittings are hidden by the obi when its finished. Also depending on your sewing abilities there are a few good seamstress's in the Baseat Nova so you could also ask them for some advice there.

100% on board that keeping everything hidden is super important. With my sewing ability being at 'doing it that one time in grade 9', it seems very likely that I would be asking someone else to do it for me

Regardless I wasn't in a rush to modify until I picked the brains of anyone at the RL Nova Booth. Don't get many chances in getting it right so I want to see that people will think that the changes will work well. I'm sure they would Cobalt seems to be very on the ball, haha.

EDIT: Thought I would add a link to my WIP thread from the main forums. It's all pretty well the same as here. Cobalt's suggestions can be found on the bottom of the first page and top of the second. I'm planning on implementing his set up, so just posting this link incase anyone's curious.

In regards to fixing your tunic in place, I have velcro attachments on both my inner and outer tunics that keep them in place. My obi covers them, so they stay well hidden. I can take some pics later if need be

I actually have something in mind, i'll put a 'snap' or some velcro at the point where I have the collar trim cut. That cut should be just at the waistline, so it will be covered by the Obi. I have to cut the trim anyway, because it runs all the way through the tunic. So yeah, save yourself the hassle of pics, should be right

My sink tube saber just arrived!
Gotta say i'm pretty happy with it, it's a bit scratched up and such but it should do the job





And I figured out how to post pics, no more photo bucket links .

Nice sabre I think this is the only white handled one I've seen. Should suit your Jedi quite well.

Looks good man. Nice and distinctive Don't worry about the scratches; it just means it's seen some serious battle!

Aha, I'm heading for full chameleon mode at this point, next stop… white belt.

Nah just kidding, lol. Giving myself ideas for down the road it seems

Hey guys,
My budget is gaining strength once more, so if I can hold onto it I should be able to throw more money at my costume
I'm looking at buying a $60 pleather belt from costume base, which would bring me a step closer, although at the same time it looks like I might have to buy some boots as well.

On another note, I know my sink tube saber should be good for approval, BUT i'm wondering if something that lights up and/or has a blade is a necessity for trooping? If so i'll have to consider my options there.

So could be pretty close on submitting but that is depending on whether I only need to buy a belt or if i'll need to buy a belt, boots and another saber.

Also thought I would post a pic from nova:



Classic Jedi white t shirt showing :3 Pretty happy with everything else so far, just gotta sort out the tabards once and for all and fix up the collar trim as well. After that should be all good to go.

Those of you I saw at nova you guys looked awesome! Dreamworld looked like fun times as well!

Hey Dimes good to see you are still on track with your build.

You don't need a light up sabre for approval ( and in fact the approval pics need to submitted without lights on ) I would consider submitting your sink tube sabre as the only restriction on them is no toy ones. The light up ones aren't needed to troop with and even if it was you should be able to borrow someone's .

Your boots look ok it that photo but just remember that the boots and belt must match in colour ( i.e. black boots black belt )

All in all looking quite good and hopefully we will see you approved soon.
