Armored Jedi Costume Build (WIP) PIC HEAVY

[Scimitar]

Yeah that does look pretty good.
If possible try to play around with how it might look, perhaps hijack a sheet or blanket or something to mess around with how it may look as a cape or cloak?
Unleash the inner-child and go into blanket-cape mode

The cape doesnt look bad if its done right

I was thinking of a cloak style similar to the center, only with a hood and over the shoulders.

I plan on messing around a bit to see what looks good.

Personally I prefer the full cloak appearance over the cape appearance, particularly in SWTOR. Check out these screenshots from TORHead of Jedi Knight Heavy Armour, they may help you decide on the style you want to go with:

Hope these help you complete that awesome looking costume 

Cloak Style:


Cape Style:

I actually play a 50 jedi guardian in swtor, it was my inspiration to start the build:P

Thanks for the feedback, updates to come!

[Scimitar]

Ha ha nice!

My Sentinel is a lowbie, my Sorcerer is a 50, love the look of Sorcerer PvP armour 

Keep us updated, I'm sure that costume is gonna look awesome

Holy crap!  I thought you were just doing some chest armor and a holster.  That looks great!  Point to you for the vision to make a full set.

Little Update:

its been quite productive. i shaped and undercoated the belt pouches



i shaped the other leg plate and the upper arm plates, i plan on piecing them together later today.



learned how fast bondo dries(fast) and applied it to the holster, sanded and primed it. (i'm still new to bondo so this isnt my best work)





a little shot of my crude work station at my new house:

Alright so, a little change of plans, My wife found a very good female robe that we are going to alter into a sith costume, where i figured it would look weird with a Jedi walking around with a sith i decided to do a sith costume instead, i will do a few alterations to my armor, paint it black instead of white and have a black cloak instead of a brown one.

I also decide to add a mask to my costume so today i whipped up an acolyte mask template in illustrator, printed it on card stock and got to work:

the result so far:

Awesome job! Cant wait till its finished. How hard is it to shape the foam to the piece you are working on?
