Title: Re: Twi'lek Lekku Post by: Darth Abaddon on March 06, 2013, 03:53:10 AM Very cool. Is it going to be colored or are you keeping it as is?
Title: Re: Twi'lek Lekku Post by: eerockk on March 06, 2013, 04:33:21 AM Sick! That's amazing!
Title: Re: Twi'lek Lekku Post by: Sky Dragon c5 on March 06, 2013, 04:40:05 AM Really nice! Be cool seeing the finished product.
Title: Re: Twi'lek Lekku Post by: Master Venturous on March 06, 2013, 04:40:47 AM Very nice! Twi'leks have always been my favorite Star Wars race and I just love the looks of them. Do you have a saber to go with it? :P

point Title: Re: Twi'lek Lekku Post by: Eiyame on March 06, 2013, 06:31:28 AM @Darth Abaddon: Yes they are going to be colored they are going to be purple. I need to order the paint tomorrow.
@eerockk: Thanks, its really Pam at Twi'lek Creations http://chucrew.com/Twilek/Twilek.htm (http://chucrew.com/Twilek/Twilek.htm) that derives the praise for the lekku themselves she does such amazing work. @Sky Dragon c5: I will be posting the finally product and the photoshot photos once they are done. @Venturous: I have a Shock LE with VA that I'll be using along with my costume. Once I get the $300 I will be ordering my 2nd saber for my double bladed. But that wont be in time for con. @Jedi Relmeob: Thanks for the point :) You can see the design for the char here: http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=11643.0 (http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=11643.0) Title: Re: Twi'lek Lekku Post by: Darth Abaddon on March 06, 2013, 07:21:57 AM Very cool. Can't go wrong with purple. Can't wait to see this costume.
Title: Re: Twi'lek Lekku Post by: chicago.jedi on March 06, 2013, 03:34:50 PM Very cool. Looks very life like (latex I imagine?)
Point!! Title: Re: Twi'lek Lekku Post by: Volund Starfire on March 06, 2013, 06:26:30 PM My wife and I helped a friend with her Aayla Secura with wraps around the tails. She tried everything to keep them down. Spray adhesive didn't seem to work over the paint and neither did hot glue. In the end, she had to tack down a thin strip of velcro into the skin of the lekku and then sew the velcro onto the underside of her wraps. Be very careful about tacking it and look at Tandy before you look at Joanns for the tacks.
Title: Re: Twi'lek Lekku Post by: Eiyame on March 06, 2013, 09:32:32 PM @chicago.jedi: Yes its latex
@Volund Starfire: I need to be able to remove the striping with out damaging my lekku. (I can't afford to buy another set) But I'm going to be painting a black design over the top of the purple base, on top of having my headwarp. So I'm going to wait and see if I even what/need to do the warping before I figure out how to put them on. Title: Re: Twi'lek Lekku Post by: Master Rel on March 07, 2013, 03:46:01 AM For your wraps...wrap the material and once happy with it, sew the joints to each other and not the head appliance...once complete it will be like a wide open fish net sock :D
Title: Re: Twi'lek Lekku Post by: Volund Starfire on March 07, 2013, 06:34:35 AM For your wraps...wrap the material and once happy with it, sew the joints to each other and not the head appliance...once complete it will be like a wide open fish net sock :D That's a great idea! Make it like a slip-on appliance for the lekku!Title: Re: Twi'lek Lekku Post by: Eiyame on March 07, 2013, 08:35:34 AM @Jedi Relmeob: That is a good idea.
@Volund Starfire: Agreed :) Title: Re: Twi'lek Lekku Post by: Master Rel on March 07, 2013, 01:33:43 PM I've made on the spot costumes that were mostly straps; Key West Fantasy Fest...it is one of those events that is just insane...I made buckets of money lol.
Anyway the straps had to hang and hold their shape throughout an energetic parade/party day/night...built them the same way...lace, quick staple, sew, remove staple. :D Title: Re: Twi'lek Lekku Post by: swords4two on March 12, 2013, 02:48:14 PM I love Pam's lekku! The head piece you have created is outstanding! remember to send Pam a pic for her forum she loves posted pics of others costumes with the headpiece.! I cannot wait to see the finish ensemble! Point for you!
Title: Re: Twi'lek Lekku Post by: Eiyame on March 12, 2013, 09:03:42 PM I'm on the forum myself, that how I found the pattern for that headband. :)
Well at the end of this week I should have my paint. And by the end of this month I'll have a photoshot at con. Title: Re: Twi'lek Lekku Post by: swords4two on March 13, 2013, 04:54:35 PM Awesome!
Title: Re: Twi'lek Lekku Post by: Zren Tobas on March 18, 2013, 09:10:12 AM I will be fallowing this one. Looks nice so far. Hope you get everything figured out in time. =]
Title: Re: Twi'lek Lekku Post by: Eiyame on March 18, 2013, 06:31:59 PM Well I got my makeup yesterday. And my paint will be here tomorrow.
Title: Re: Twi'lek Lekku Post by: Eiyame on March 21, 2013, 03:53:48 AM This is...I think the 2nd coating of the paint. As you can see I need more...

(http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f252/lexiongal580/Star%20Wars/Linara/IMG_0349_zpse8e87b2b.jpg) (http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f252/lexiongal580/Star%20Wars/Linara/IMG_0350_zpsf340238f.jpg) The ONE spot that is pissing me off. (http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f252/lexiongal580/Star%20Wars/Linara/IMG_0351_zps84502c1e.jpg) Title: Re: Twi'lek Lekku Post by: whitmers on March 21, 2013, 01:52:29 PM point for costuming badassery, Good work!
Title: Re: Twi'lek Lekku Post by: swords4two on March 21, 2013, 02:49:31 PM awesome!
Title: Re: Twi'lek Lekku Post by: Master Rel on March 21, 2013, 03:18:43 PM That spot most likely had leftover release agent on it from the casting. Let it completely dry then recoat.
I like the color :D Title: Re: Twi'lek Lekku Post by: Eiyame on March 21, 2013, 09:58:00 PM Yeah I got it covered...finally.
Thanks I really like the color too. Title: Re: Twi'lek Lekku Post by: Zren Tobas on March 22, 2013, 07:21:36 AM This is so cool. I can't wait to see you in full costume.
