Didn’t get a chance to post my progress last night, but I finished most of the cutting (still about 23 more small pieces, bracer pieces, and under pieces to go) and started painting.

 I had the thought this morning that I might need to get a sheet of Worbla to do an under layer to help all the vinyl pieces to keep shape (certainly for the bracers, breastplate I’ll need to wait and see).

More pictures in a second post. Reached the attachment limit.

More pics! I’m going to make simple belt buckles for the front because everything seems to be too big that I can find premade Sad

Going to have to do a second coat of paint on the cognac and dark brown colors to get rid of streaks

yup! I'm hoping to have it finished within a month...

Forgot to mention when starting: I'm submitting this for Saber Guild and for Rebel Legion, so I'm using the Rebel Legion CRL and some of the threads for the RL forum. Linking below

So I've almost finished cutting and painting all of the breastplate pieces! Cheesy I did some corrections to the upper back design based on another reference photo I found where the hood was at a different angle. Pics soon to come!

New design for back! It’s not stitched together yet, but this is layered to get an idea

Thanks! I’m super excited to start stitching pieces! Need to do a second paint coat and edge touch ups on a few pieces though, especially the dark brown and cognac. I’m hoping I don’t run out of dark brown paint, since all the largest pieces use it and I’ve used a lot of my bottle. I should’ve gotten all of the colors in the 4 oz bottle lol

Second and third coats of pain and starting some of the detailing. Pictured is the lowest panel on the back, which has thin horizontal lines running through it

Thanks Infinit! I’m just hoping I haven’t bitten off more than I can chew here

You're welcome. Doesn't seem like you bit off more than you can chew in my opinion after seeing you build your Revan costume.

I love the little details that go into costumes, LR. Your work is no exception to the rule, really cool. I like how you map what you're going to do

It's really a necessity to may out given how complicated the geometric pattern is (and when you figure you have to adapt that pattern to fit your own body). None of the builds I've seen so far of the robes really do it justice (all close but not quite), so I'm hoping to get as close to accurate as possible.



UPDATE: After some debate, I've decided to do an under-layer of foam and paint the edges to give a little more dimension since the vinyl is so thin. I'm hoping this will also help it hold shape enough for me to not have to add Worbla anywhere other than maybe the hand guards and possibly bracers. Worbla without a foam core doesn't do well in Florida heat, so it's best if I can avoid it altogether

Sounds like you're taking it steady and working any problems you hit.
Keep it up, LR

Thanks! I got some matte spray I'm going to pick up at the hardware store tomorrow to deal with the obnoxious shine the leather paint created. End product I'm gonna spray it down. Also going to check to see if the hardware store carries the dark brown (or medium brown) leather paint. I'm almost out with the fact that all the largest pieces use it, and I still need enough for the bracers...
