Jedi / Light Side aotc anakin costuming

lol, i was trying to think of a way to do make-shift hair extensions but i haven't come up with anything yet (note: i haven't tried too hard yet either) =P

 

Jango, having a real one may be fun...but not practical for us working guys Plus the fake one really doesn't fall out either

across0the0stars, this really is a great way to do it cheap and simple...cost me 3 dollars CAD or so.

 

mkay thx, i'll hafta experiment sometime, lol i have plenty of time =P

 

hey, i think i found what that article meant by sewing on his ponytail. it's called Microring Extensions. lookie lookie:

if ya look at the movie some, in my opinion, ya can kind of see some of the seperation of the extensions. you'd still need a bit of length to your hair, but i can definately see this working in my situation =)=)

 

<<<<<< FORCE PUSH >>>>>>>

Anyone with anymore tips?

 

Tomorrow I'm starting on making the Anakin costume, the robe will be the hardest part, but I think I have it all figured out.
Any tips, web-sites with good pictures of the robe or pattern tips & total yardage would be a great help.
If anyone would like to know the progress (not that I will be on-line much, until after Hallows eve) I can let you know my progress?

 

Tell me about it, I just had to give myself a hard kick in the you-know-what
The last few times I've been in costume heaven, I've done it on the kitchen table, this time I've made me an area in the basement. No TV, no door to answer, no phone, so I should be able to whip stuff out in no time You've been there to witness, a costume can be done in 2 days And still look good.

 

Good, just think what this one will be like. I'm going to take my time & do it right I'm so excited, I hope you'll enter a costume contest, or maybe we will go somewhere that has one for Halloween (when your here). I think DH & I are going as Snow Troopers.

 

Grimby, I have a great idea for the under tunic on how to get the arms bunchy. Just sent e-mail to ya
Let me know what you think, then I'll post my idea, don't want to seem like an idiot right off the bat

 

For the bunching of the under tunic, I'm going to insert a V from elbow (maybe lower) to the wrist of a stretchy material.
It will be easy to get on, comfy around the wrist & should keep the bunching so you don't have to keep messing with them all day long.
I think this will give us the effect we want.
The Sith outfit I made for myself (my very first I may add) would move around all the time. The cloak would pull on the tunic & what-not, very irritating.

 

Well what worked for me and others too was just having the sleaves longer, have the opening to fit just over your hand and then push down the excess sleave.

Works well, is super comfortable and is as far as I know accurate

 

Yes, forgot about the "making them longer part". Thank you Primrodo! I'm making this for Ben (Grimby the Hutt), he's in Kerea, and I would hate to make them to tight & him not be able to get into it.
That would be horrible.

 

I hear that

perhaps get him to measure his hand's widest part when his finger tips are all touching and outward

 

Thanks, any word on when the material was shipped or arriving?

 

Upping for recent query.

 

Unlocked for recent query.

 

I'm new to this forum but wanted to find out if anyone knows where to get or what the grips used on Anakins Episode 2 lightsaber are. They are different from the Anakin/Luke graflex lightsaber. They have a flattened raised part. I would appreciate any help anyone can give me.
Thanks
