Title: Big Boss and Darth Rifter's jedi/sith costumes Post by: Big Boss on July 25, 2012, 12:48:01 AM Last weekend I had Rifter over my house for a small little anime con in our area. The con was ok, but we ran into a small starwars group and duel plenty at my house which was the highlight of it all. :)
Darth Rifter (http://i1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc445/phophjoph15/Starwars%20costumes/100B1210.jpg) (http://i1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc445/phophjoph15/Starwars%20costumes/100_1197.jpg) (http://i1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc445/phophjoph15/Starwars%20costumes/100_1271.jpg) (http://i1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc445/phophjoph15/Starwars%20costumes/100_1272.jpg) (http://i1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc445/phophjoph15/Starwars%20costumes/100_1273.jpg) (http://i1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc445/phophjoph15/Starwars%20costumes/100B1260.jpg) Big Boss For those wondering I currently did not have my three sabers during the con since i sent them back to ultra sabers for upgrades. So they are not pictured with my costume :-[, but Rifter graciously let me use his sabers. :) Now I never have seen a yellow saber besides the various pics on the forums and the posts of Kham's zealous devotion to the house of yellow until Rifter came over to my house. After seeing the color first hand I was very impressed and now know why kham is the little cheer leader that he is. :D ;) My next saber will either by Violent or yellow as a result of seeing this color first hand. It will likely come down to a coin toss or poll vote when i finally get the funds to order another saber since i now can't decide. :P (http://i1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc445/phophjoph15/Starwars%20costumes/100_1281.jpg) (http://i1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc445/phophjoph15/Starwars%20costumes/100_1282.jpg) (http://i1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc445/phophjoph15/Starwars%20costumes/100_1285.jpg) (http://i1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc445/phophjoph15/Starwars%20costumes/100_1286.jpg) (http://i1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc445/phophjoph15/Starwars%20costumes/100_1280.jpg) (http://i1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc445/phophjoph15/Starwars%20costumes/100_1284.jpg) Pictures from the con. Wish we could have got more with them. Also note me and Rifter traded tabbards the day we met the group to change up our tunic style. 8) I was soo jealous of the mandos there. I really need to start on making some armor. :'( (http://i1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc445/phophjoph15/Starwars%20costumes/100_1189.jpg) (http://i1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc445/phophjoph15/Starwars%20costumes/100_1193.jpg) (http://i1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc445/phophjoph15/Starwars%20costumes/100_1192.jpg) Pictures of us mock fighting (http://i1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc445/phophjoph15/Starwars%20costumes/100_1289.jpg) (http://i1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc445/phophjoph15/Starwars%20costumes/100_1292.jpg) (http://i1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc445/phophjoph15/Starwars%20costumes/100_1295.jpg) (http://i1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc445/phophjoph15/Starwars%20costumes/100_1296.jpg) (http://i1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc445/phophjoph15/Starwars%20costumes/100_1300.jpg) (http://i1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc445/phophjoph15/Starwars%20costumes/100_1301.jpg) (http://i1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc445/phophjoph15/Starwars%20costumes/100_1302.jpg) Overall a fun weekend. :) I'll be posting some video footage in the video section of the forums of me and Rifter dueling some time this week so keep your eyes peeled. ;) Title: Re: Big Boss and Darth Rifter's jedi/sith costumes Post by: darth tratus on July 25, 2012, 01:13:53 AM Very cool costumes guys!
Title: Re: Big Boss and Darth Rifter's jedi/sith costumes Post by: Master Bluespike74 on July 25, 2012, 03:26:30 AM I like the costumes as well. It is also nice to put some faces with the names as well.

Title: Re: Big Boss and Darth Rifter's jedi/sith costumes Post by: Manroon on July 25, 2012, 04:43:32 AM So that's what Boss looks like. Epic costume, I love the color combination, and your boots are great. Very Rebel Pilot. ;) Rifter looks a LOT like his character! Dang! That is some close resemblance, he did a great job on the mask!
BTW Boss, you look Mando. Helmet needed. lol Title: Re: Big Boss and Darth Rifter's jedi/sith costumes Post by: Big Andy on July 25, 2012, 04:53:30 AM BTW Boss, you look Mando. Helmet needed. lol (In a Kazakhstan accent) Ha, he a is funny man, I like. Is nice. Seriously though nice costumes. Title: Re: Big Boss and Darth Rifter's jedi/sith costumes Post by: Big Boss on July 25, 2012, 05:13:32 AM @Remy we went to tokyo in tulsa a little convention in tulsa Ok where me and rifter live.
@Manroon I actually put together the mask rifter is wearing and let him borrow it since it was originally a part of my sith costume that i have been working on but never finished. It was an old paint ball mask that i sanded and then painted black. As for me looking mando, I always thought i had a jango fett look to me, but that was perhaps just me bloating my ego . lol ;D I also have a scar on my left check which gives me a more warrior look so that helps. 8) Title: Re: Big Boss and Darth Rifter's jedi/sith costumes Post by: Jedi_Grevan on July 25, 2012, 08:30:46 PM Nice pics and great costumes

Title: Re: Big Boss and Darth Rifter's jedi/sith costumes Post by: Vex on July 25, 2012, 08:48:51 PM Nice costumes! Looks like you had a lot of fun!

Naw, he's a Concentrated Awesome Sith Lord! Title: Re: Big Boss and Darth Rifter's jedi/sith costumes Post by: Big Andy on July 25, 2012, 09:39:32 PM Ever heard of little man syndrome, well it's an attribute that the Sith greatly appreciate, and the most powerful Sith Lords have it.

What we lack in height we make up for with sheer tenacity. ;D Great pictures, I'm glad you guy's had a lot of fun. Points. Title: Re: Big Boss and Darth Rifter's jedi/sith costumes Post by: Jammo on July 25, 2012, 11:06:27 PM I like the two tone tunic/tabbard stuff, I must say...
Title: Re: Big Boss and Darth Rifter's jedi/sith costumes Post by: Darth Rifter on July 25, 2012, 11:25:37 PM Thanks for all the kind words. I love my costume and it looks great. Also who noticed my weathered Dominix on my belt. We also drilled a hole for a covertec and it works great.

And yeah, I noticed Rifter. Very nice. Very nice. ;) Title: Re: Big Boss and Darth Rifter's jedi/sith costumes Post by: darth khatai on July 27, 2012, 03:45:47 AM How did you make the mask? It's wicked awesome. :)
Title: Re: Big Boss and Darth Rifter's jedi/sith costumes Post by: Big Boss on July 27, 2012, 02:35:24 PM How did you make the mask? It's wicked awesome. :) Heres my quote from another past thread explaining it. ;D Now the best and cheapest base for a sith mask that i have found and used is a plastic paintball mask. You can find them for $20-$50 based on what design you find [url]http://www.walmart.com/search/search-ng.do?search_query=paint+ball+mask&ic=16_0&Find=Find&search_constraint=0[/url] ([url]http://www.walmart.com/search/search-ng.do?search_query=paint+ball+mask&ic=16_0&Find=Find&search_constraint=0[/url]) [url]http://www.google.com/search?q=paint+ball+mask&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a#q=paintball+mask&hl=en&client=firefox-a&hs=GR0&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&tbm=shop&prmd=imvns&source=lnt&tbs=price:1,ppr_min:25,ppr_max:45&sa=X&ei=YdfWT7XUMKiE2QWO3Ki5Dw&ved=0CG0QpwUoAg&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.,cf.osb&fp=2c90f640e28ebf85&biw=1920&bih=865[/url] ([url]http://www.google.com/search?q=paint+ball+mask&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a#q=paintball+mask&hl=en&client=firefox-a&hs=GR0&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&tbm=shop&prmd=imvns&source=lnt&tbs=price:1,ppr_min:25,ppr_max:45&sa=X&ei=YdfWT7XUMKiE2QWO3Ki5Dw&ved=0CG0QpwUoAg&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.,cf.osb&fp=2c90f640e28ebf85&biw=1920&bih=865[/url]) I bought this helemt from a sporting goods store a few years back when i paint balled, but found it in my garage about a month ago and a turned it into a cool sith mask along with some small shoulder armor. [url]http://www.amazon.com/JT-Elite-nVader-Thermal-Paintball/dp/B00083DEYI[/url] ([url]http://www.amazon.com/JT-Elite-nVader-Thermal-Paintball/dp/B00083DEYI[/url]) Also bought some little kid shin guards from walmart and painted them so they would make good arm bracers. overall it cost me a little less than $65 bucks with paint so not too bad. 8) Still need to find some decent foam for the inside of the helmet and a proper head strap so it doesn't hurt my face. :P (http://[url=http://i1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc445/phophjoph15/100_1035.jpg]http://i1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc445/phophjoph15/100_1035.jpg[/url]) ([url]http://i1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc445/phophjoph15/100_1035.jpg[/url]) ([url]http://i1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc445/phophjoph15/100_1036.jpg[/url]) ([url]http://i1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc445/phophjoph15/100_1040.jpg[/url]) Title: Re: Big Boss and Darth Rifter's jedi/sith costumes Post by: Darth Rifter on July 27, 2012, 07:11:48 PM The reason my costume looks like my character is because I did that on purpose. I loved the tabbards look so I designed Rifter after that. And to make his Jediish look believeable, I made him an identical twin with a Jedi brother.
Title: Re: Big Boss and Darth Rifter's jedi/sith costumes Post by: darth khatai on July 27, 2012, 11:53:51 PM It looks like I need to invest in some power tools. For some reason, the idea of a twi'lek with a breather really appeals to me. Too late for this year, but there's always next year.
Title: Re: Big Boss and Darth Rifter's jedi/sith costumes Post by: Darth Rifter on August 11, 2012, 01:13:17 AM BTW boss, I know it will add to my debt, but can you make me a mask just like that one, now that you have a dremmel?
