Title: Epicness Soon... Post by: Zren Tobas on November 28, 2020, 06:59:27 PM So here soon I'll have something epic to show off. At least I'm hoping so anyway. So figured on going ahead and making a thread about it. It'll possibly be Imperial related after all these years so :P I'll still need to get all the other little bits for the uniform though. I think you guys will like it though on what I have planned =] It'll just take me awhile to get it fully finished is all. Sorry for no pics right away though, seems it'll be a Christmas gift so just gotta wait a few more weeks x.x

Title: Re: Epicness Soon... Post by: Zren Tobas on November 29, 2020, 03:11:07 AM Pretty much :P I'll be treating it as like the past 2 Mando episodes with no signs of Ahsoka until finally this weeks episode :P
Title: Re: Epicness Soon... Post by: Zren Tobas on December 26, 2020, 01:26:52 AM Some pics as promised =] I wasn't expecting half of the whole set today so was totally surprised :P Gloves and code cylinders will be dealt with next week

Post by: DarthProdigal on December 26, 2020, 01:59:00 AM so…this is a teaser trailer then?!? ::) Ha, I love that. "The dragons are coming..."But anyway, I do like the look shown so far. If I may make one suggestion, look up tutorials (if they exist) on youtube (best ones will likely be by USMC members) on uniform maintenance, proper ironing of a cover, looking good in dress uniform, etc. I don't know what they'll be labeled but those should be helpful search parameters. I say this because the Marines are exacting about uniform standards, which falls in line with how Imperial Navy would keep their standards. So it'll help make the overall effect more stunning in the long run, trust me. A sharp look can only be reinforced by perfect creases and flawless appearance in what is modeled after a military uniform. That outfit looks great, but it'll be show stopping with the proper application of starch and an iron. I just tried to get you to view proper reference material first since I don't want anything getting burned or ruined in the process, plus figuring out what heat settings work with the materials. If you would rather leave it up to others you can also get it dry cleaned and pressed right before a big convention or something. But I am seriously envious of how nice that outfit is already. *snaps off a crisp salute* Title: Re: Epicness Soon... Post by: Zren Tobas on December 26, 2020, 02:11:37 AM He. I'm not too too worried about all that fancy stuff so. I do at least hang my better costumes though. Plus we dont have an iron either. I'll make sure to always take extra good care of this costume set for sure though =]
Title: Re: Epicness Soon... Post by: Saso Is-kor on December 26, 2020, 02:15:46 AM Looks awesome! I love imperial costumes, looks like you did a great job putting it all together too. My recognition of Imperial ranks is not as good as it should be but you're a... Captain, right?
Title: Re: Epicness Soon... Post by: mrg149 on December 26, 2020, 03:34:38 AM Your rank is insignificant compared to the power if the Force…bht you will make excellent fodder to practice Force choking on. (raises hand and makes pinching gesture)
Nice job! Title: Re: Epicness Soon... Post by: Zren Tobas on December 26, 2020, 03:58:05 AM Lieutenant =] *Pulls a Moff Gideon and manages to resist the Force* :P

Depending on the rank/circumstances of individual that was "administering punitive measures" and reason for such punishment. Skillfully avoiding punishment may only incur harsher punishment, as is generally the way of the Sith, Empire, and First Order. Defiance/resistance is most often frowned upon. :-\Title: Re: Epicness Soon... Post by: Saso Is-kor on December 26, 2020, 07:08:33 PM ...or potentially summary execution for defiance/insubordination.

Oh yes, that worked out soooo well for Lord Vader. Title: Re: Epicness Soon... Post by: Zren Tobas on December 30, 2020, 12:26:53 AM I'll get some more pics up here in a few days =] I figured out the tunic bit so. I didn't realize there were hooks on the collar
Title: Re: Epicness Soon... Post by: Zren Tobas on January 09, 2021, 04:23:36 AM I'll get some more pics when more of my smaller bits start to get in =]
Title: Re: Epicness Soon... Post by: Zren Tobas on January 11, 2021, 09:15:01 PM Gloves made it in =] Just waiting for the other small bits. I'll just be using the additional options picture sharing function for now for sharing my small bits that come in. Can't wait to get my Imperial Officer uniform done though :P
Title: Re: Epicness Soon... Post by: Zren Tobas on January 14, 2021, 01:56:15 AM Ordered the wrong gloves so gotta wait on the right ones to get in x.x Boots gets in this week at least though so, I could even do some new Sith costume pics in them to hold over until then :P
Title: Re: Epicness Soon... Post by: Zren Tobas on January 29, 2021, 05:26:54 AM Almost there at this point, the different gloves came in, just need the code cylinders and my Imperial Officer will be finished =] Really enjoyed putting this one together
