If I can make one recommendation, it would be to change the pattern on your cod, currently it looks like a chevron and it should be curved as per CRL: Has a tapered cod section with inverted curve sewn in detail (not a chevron). Your GML should have picked up this detail in their review, other than that it looks pretty good! Welcome!

Hey! And welcome! I was going to reach out to see if anyone was building this costume as I would like to see the CRL done this term. We are most certainly here to help you, but before we get started, I’ll confirm with the LMO team that we have enough reference material to get started! If you have any additional references to add I am more than glad to see them.

Get some painters plastic or rubbish/trash bags and some masking tape. Make sure that your base gloss black is fully cured! Otherwise nightmares First run of masking just use tape 2nd run you tape the plastic to the 1st masking tape to ensure you have protected the rest of the armor Spray metallic black Maybe do a second coat Done There's no need to gloss over the top

There is a couple of issues I can see, one is the matte finish of the boots, two the yellow stitching, and a couple of other things like the pattern of the shoe is different on the sides. @Chaos @Lt. Dan do you have any thoughts on how this boot might be altered to work?

How many did you order?

I think there is also rubber/pvc tape that can be applied. As long as the text is agnostic of methods to get the effect I think we will be good

Hey Mika, to be honest I don't really know the definitive answer to this question, however I would say as long as the gasket is black you will be ok. if you check out the CRL pics really close you can see that what was used here appears to be a satin finish. @IcyTrooper might be able to provide more info?

I haven't ordered Shadow Scout specific items from them, but have seen their work and it looks good. I have ordered Death Trooper and Sith Trooper related items from them and they are very good quality. Hopefully you will get a response soon

Definitely not leather, definitely rubber/pu type material. Also is Del's Inferno patch metallic red?

I think before you go off and make something/spend money, we should find an accurate reference for the coat, otherwise we won’t be able to get it past the LMO team.

I'm inclined to go with the WWII slicker as they have the similar collar that @JAFO pointed out in his reference he provided. I don't think it is leather at all judging by the material pattern observed in this close up pic. What this does resemble is a PVC or rubberised material which is consistent with WWII motorcycle coats. WWII motorcycle coat with material on the collar: (not exact reference) We currently have no references from behind, so the only thing we really have to go on is the coat, I think if we can find the right coat then we might have a chance of pushing this CRL forward.

Nice!

Looking great! Any progress? *nudge nudge* ?

It largely depends on the kit you're going to work with, your budget and how much time you can spare. I did my DT (3d printed) in 3 months once I had all the materials, but it was a huge commitment in terms of time! It can be done, you just gotta plan it out and commit. Getting help from your local chapter can help, the more hands the better!

Please respond to this thread with any issues that may have come about after the upgrades have been done

I managed to adjust the brightness of one of the source images to see the inside of the glove to help determine the correct glove. Good new is there's no padding or complex seams sewn into the inside! From what I can tell the glove is four pieces sewn together, 2 for the glove and 2 for the gauntlet with 4 seams and a hem at the opening. So the closest I could find for an "off the shelf" glove was this one here: https://www.indiamart.com/proddetail/leather-white-welding-gloves-23882415230.html But it still has some stitching that is missing, most notably at the opening of the glove, but could easily be fixed. The next option is to build it yourself, this is a very simple glove pattern and wouldn't take much effort to sew. Otherwise if you're not confident in your sewing, you could approach someone for the commission.

Hey there, sorry it's taken so long to respond! It looks like you had a set of gloves and then decided not to use them? I would be keen to understand some of the issues you're having in a little more detail. They kinda looked like you were on the right track? While I agree that some things can be pushed into L2, it will depend on the type of seam and how visible it is. For example, looking at the gloves from this angle I can see the seam very clearly (even though the pic is low res) It is my opinion if it can be seen, we need to replicate. I started to have a Google to see what is out there but I run out of time and need to get to work. I did find some cheap close matches, and will get back to you in the next 24hours
