My Jedi costume

[Ki-Djowac]

Hello folks,
just thought i'd share my jedi costume with everyone here. Recently got accepted as a RL member BENELUX with it.:cool:

http://www.rebellegion.com/forum/costume.php?mode=view&c=4723&bu=%2Fbase.php%3Fb%3D21&bl=Benelux+Base+members

The pics on the profile are clickable for a closer look.

Any thoughts, feel free to share.

I did not make the costume, but it took me about a year to search the web and get all the "parts" together and modify everything where it needed to be modified to fit my size.

Congratulations! :)

Now you should go sign up for the KJO Detachment (Knights of the Jedi Order). ;)

Come on dude that's a nice costume you got there, give us a bit more than that.

A years searching and getting together bits.

Did you get a pattern, what is the material, did you have to dye the fabrics.

Some pics other than the rebel legion too please.

Congratulations, waiting for a few more sabers before buying my stuff for the RL. I really like your belt and pouches, feel like sharing any tips? ;)

I'll clarify what i mean by "i did not make" and "parts". Not sure if it's allowed here, but here goes :

- the boots came from "motorcowboys" but were way too big for me so i had them refitted by a local leatherworker i was lucky to find.

- The tunic and undershirt came from "corellian imports" and was modified here and there by my mother in law who has the necessary equipment and knowledge to do that stuff.

- the belt with pouches i got off e-bay a long time ago.

- Covertec clip also e-bay at the time. I was not aware that TCSS carried those too at the time.

- The pants were a look around at the local clothing stores to find the right one. Was very lucky with the pants since it was 70% off. :D

- The food capsules were also from "corellian imports" which were offered to me as a gift for the very long turnaround time.

- The cape i got is the one from rubies "super deluxe hooded jedi robe" which was modified again to fit my size. This one was only available in "one size fits all".

- The saber i used is 100% TCSS parts.

I'll see what other pics i got from my "photo session" and upload those this evening.

:confused::confused: Why?!? Sounds so... ignorant.. :confused::confused:

Oh and your costume is cool. :D

[Skottsaber]

Is it just me or is that the saber from a MHS tutorial video I saw on youtube...

[Ki-Djowac]

@ Jedi-Loreen : nice idea. Still have lots of reading to do though. The RL CO benelux and XO have been a real help in getting me to join.

@ skottsaber : that is the saber from the MHS build video. I'm the "builder" and made those video's.

NICE costume there! I really like how it reflects your white saber blade

[Ki-Djowac]

Thanks, but the people at rebel legion are actually responsible for that. They photoshop the photo you submit for your profile. the color when lit of my saber is actually cyan.

For those interested in full views of my outfit, i've added 3 more photo's on my rebel legion profile.

What sounds ignorant?

[Jedi-Loreen]

I think he means the fact that it says in his profile that the lightsaber (blade) color is cyan, but whoever Photoshopped it made it look white, instead.

[Et Kin Evenstar]

I think they actually were questioning the spelling of lightSABRE as opposed to SABER? Isn't that why they made that font red in their response?

[Jedi-Loreen]

You could be right, I wasn't paying attention to that.

Then maybe it's ignorant on Rafalema's part, since either spelling is correct, depending on what country you're from.

I don't think people can't expect everyone to spell it lightsaber, just because the originator, George Lucas is from the US.

On my part : i did not have the blade lit when submitting this photo. Not sure if that was the issue. In any case, i do not mind it that much.

Anyways, had some fun with photoshop myself yesterday, here's the result :

I like it (the picture), but to make it awesome you should have been looking him right in the eye, and also (not your fault) you're the only one not wearing some kind of battle armour.
