I finished making the cod piece and body suit last night and I think they turned out really well.

The shin armor also arrived in the mail, so the only piece Im missing is the shoulder armor.

Hello,

I was searching the internet doing research on my Vader costume and I ran across this web site for sithcouncil.com.

Unfortunately, nothing on the web site explains the what and why of the group so I thought I would ask the Garrison?

My condolences on your loss. Its never easy to see a family member pass away.

Hello, My Portumac chest box and belt finally arrived today. I must say Im not impressed with DHL's ability to fix shipping mistakes, but Im happy the items arrived in one piece. The box and belt are of pretty good quality, with only a few minor issues I think that could have been done better. I als...

Will the handle from an FX lightsaber pass 501st standards?

Tim, I will be happy to get some photos as soon as possible. I used a suit material (a wool like material). I know they used wool in the movies, but I wanted something a little lighter but still flowed well. And it was on sale at the Fabric store! :D The best feature with the robe I did was sewing i...

Tim, I hear what you are saying and I can't thank you enough for the times I have seen you drive a great distance to be "Vader." I finished making the inner robe last night and I have to say, I think it turned out really well. :) The helmet is supposed to arrive today. So progress continue...

Hello, Well, I decided to start putting together a Vader costume. Its going to be an ESB/ROTJ style. The hard parts that I cannot make, I have ordered from various suppliers. I can make all the soft parts myself, so I have them listed as "in progress." UPDATE!!!!! FINISHED!!!!! RISE LORD V...
