Still alterations to make, but I've got a base ready for the premier.

Thanks guys!

At the very least, need to wax the sleeves. Would also like to get a proper holster-clip on the belt, and maybe fix up the tunic with wider shoulders and some gold thread in the seams.

That's awesome!  Dark Side point for you, I haven't seen too many of the TLJ variety yet.

Cape looks good.  I'm having a fit with mine.  How are you attaching yours?

Two straps over the shoulders and under the pits, like a backpack/parachute. Attached a buckle to mine to make it easier to attach/detach on-the-fly.

So cool! I love how you've captured the flame look. And then those clashes where it acts like a shock wave. Beautiful. Great job.

Thanks, guys. Accuracy mods are as follows:

  • Longer crossguard exhausts
  • Longer, thinner body
  • Filled pommel holes (sound vents hidden elsewhere
  • Transparent Red Wire
  • Semi-functional JJ Industries belt clip (the nylon-printed part doesn't have enough tension to hold the fully-loaded hilt in place...)
  • Paint based on Prop Shop images

New gloves are in!

Wrist straps aren't at all accurate (there shouldn't be any), but they're covered by the sleeves, so I'm not too concerned over them. Just need to trim the thumbs and break in the material.
