Heh, well thank you. Given the choice, I'd like to be able to be more creative and actually MAKE some of my own robes/sabers/armor That said, I'll just have to dig down deep in the wallet  Still, while I may not be able to make my own, I REALLY enjoy seeing the pics that everyone has posted w/ their own creations. Never ceases to amaze me what people can accomplish here  |

Never ceases to amaze me what people can accomplish here Honestly, sometimes I find things I could make, but when I consider not just the cost of similar material and my time, its worth it to buy....of course, I always look for a good sale as well. I think some of the fun is also finding pieces no one else uses or would think of using as a costume piece I was afraid of touching a sewing machine for years, because I didn't realize that I was gifted a defective one. Once a master seamstress pointed it out, I bought a new machine and it was easy sailing. I can't do complicated patterns, but I can do basic stuff. If you have the time and inclination, check out a class at a Joann Fabrics. They always have a coupon too, so I paid 20$ for my class. |

Good point(s), especially w/ Joann Fabrics. Oddly enough, my mother-in-law just took a class over there last month. Heh, I might have to give that a try; if nothing else, I'll have a better understanding of the basics |

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask, and I really did not know how to word my search, but is there a list of of which Ultra Saber it is a replica of?
For example: I know that fulcrum and lost grey are Ashoka Tano's sabers, but is there a master list that corresponds the ultrasaber with the jedi/sith that uses that saber?

Not really, are you looking for a particular characters hilt? |

No, was just something I was curious about. For future purchases. I was thinking about doing a Revan cosplay in the future, I just figured having a list that equated the ultrasaber to saber would be useful to people trying to cosplay |

His jedi or sith hilt honestly, he's one of my favorite and after I do a Rex cosplay, Revan will be my next star wars costume |

If I know which is which: US doens't currently make a model of his Jedi redeemed saber, but a Shock LE with a MHS Guardian Pommel makes a decent Revan Sith hilt. |

Find a way to do as much 'off the shelf' or 'from the closet' as possible, mrg149 I won't deny that it can get expensive. Custom armor? Go for foam over the more expensive plastics Robes? Check your local thrift stores |

A yard sale is another great place to get fabric or complete costume parts or even stuff you can use to make props. Who knows what people are trying to get rid of

Set yourself a price cap. What is the most you want to spend to start? |

Has anyone here had any experience bringing an ultrasaber to a con recently? I'm going to wizard world in Tulsa as a custom with character I made that wields a spear (utilizing the dark war glaive). Am I going to encounter problems getting in? will having the blade on be an issue? Will the spear (made from yari pike extensions) be an issue? Any advice is greatly appreciated.
