I'm continuing to chug away at this, and I'm pretty excited about how close I'm getting. Yesterday, I found an upholstery chenille in the red tag fabrics at Joann with a nice chunky weave that I think looks good for shoulder caps. I got that sewn on, so the tunic is just about done. I managed to man...

It's a bit tough to get nice clear pictures, but I've been working on the boots and I'm pretty pleased with them so far. Unfortunately it's hard to get a good picture without the soles, but the sewing, including the zipper, is complete. now I just need to contact cement them to the base shoe I've ch...

And progress continues! Since I last posted, I sketched out my diagonals, cut apart the bedsheet mockup for pattern pieces, and cut the panels out of some crackled texture suedecloth. I then pieced them together with the proper seams, sewn down to faux leather strips with a slight gap between each p...

Thanks! I've done some more work on the tunic, including hemming up the bottom and adding a collar. I still need to find a decent fabric for the sleeve caps though. In the mean time, I've also started on my cape. I began by laying out a basic pattern for the vertical strips and transferring those to...

So in addition to my Krennic, I've got a second WIP that I'd hopefully like to apply with once it's done: Last Jedi Kylo. I have a decent start from the version of TFA I did, and I recently started in on the tunic. To Kick things off I'll recap what I've already made. First up the sleeves. I already...

Thanks! I don't have a good picture, but I did some more work on the code cylinders and the boots over my thanksgiving break. I also put eyelets to be able to lace up the jodhpurs. The one thing I do have a picture of is my new hat. I had some extra fabric from the pants, so I decided to go ahead an...

Thanks guys, I really appreciate the encouragement! I finally have a (small but fun) update! School and real life have kept me from progressing much on Krennic, but I recently got to use a Form 2 resin SLA 3d printer. I decided to take a crack at my code cylinders, as I had attempted to print them o...

In addition to the cape, I have been working on the jodhpurs, which now just need eyelets and laces down at the bottom https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4115/34795138484_5c61336292_h.jpg And last night, I picked up some shoes from a thrift store to transform into boots. I patterned the top with duct ta...

I've spent the last few days re-working my cape, and I think this one will work out.  I still need to finish the bottom edge and add some more snaps, but this one is definitely long enough, and sits a lot better across the front. Unfortunately my tunic is a bit askew in these pics since I didn't thi...

So it's been a while since I've posted around here, but I have made solid progress on the Dt-29. First, I printed the main body, trigger and guard, and other miscellaneous pieces that I was originally planning to CNC route.  https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4205/35149277606_2e1d2fa0df_b.jpg Certain pie...

Most of the 3D printed portions of my blaster are done, and I couldn't be happier! I'm planning on using a router and laser cutter for the rest of it.

And the progress continues! I'm pretty pleased with the tunic right now. The cape is still being tweaked in hopes that I don't have to scrap it entirely, but it's proving difficult to get it situated exactly where I want it. The belt here is just a placeholder for the pictures, but here are a few sh...

I've started on my cape and I like how it's shaping up for the most part. Unfortunately I lost track of exactly how much overlap I should have with the yoke in my attempt to line up the shoulders where I wanted them and now it's significantly shorter than it should be. Unfortunately, I'm going to ha...

Hey everyone, my name is Ben. I'm a huge Star Wars fan and have been interested in the 501st since my first Planet Comicon 6 pr 7 years ago. I have a habit of starting way too many projects before I finish one (I've got 3 or 4 SW costumes that are relatively far along now, but have been going for qu...
