Naboo N-1 Pilot Builds

[Schph Gochi (Phyllis Schulte)]

I would say to go with the gray with a hint of teal as the costume standard states.


The only photo where the vest looks green is the last one.

The other photos of Padme' and Typho are more gray.

If you google Typho, you will see both though the photos that look gray outnumber the photos where it looks more green.

If there is someone who saw the piece in the traveling exhibit and remembers what it looked like in person...
your input would be appreciated...

I probably saw it at one point in time when it came to Chicago in one of the exhibits but I will be honest that I don't remember the color because I was not interested in making the costume.

I've seen it live twice now and took pics. I'll dig them up and see what I can find.

Hello everybody, a gal and I from my Outpost, we started to make Naboo Pilots Ep2 costumes, we found a lot of pics from screencaps, SW exhibitions, TCW and action figures, and we found that the vests HAS to be Olive Green, we made photo tests in sunlight, neon light and flash lights, now we concluded that the dark gray appareance is in the flash lights ambience studio (like the showed in the promotional photos here: http://rebelshaven.com/SWFFAQ/pilot.php).
In other hand, the vests from SW exhibitions looks green, NOT gray or dark gray, we have a lot of pics, just check pages 9 and 10 of this thread

We tried some greens and found that under flash lights the olive green looks dark gray, just check the pics to compare:

SOME GREENS SUNLIGHT:


SAME GREENS UNDER FLASH LIGHT:


The Green Olive looked perfect to me, so, I made the vest:

FLASH LIGHT:


WITHOUT FLASH LIGHT:


In the SW Exhibition detail pic, you can see the vest is Green, there are dark gray paralell lines airbrushed with dark gray paint.


(Why I must to airbrush dark gray paint in a Dark Gray vest? have no sense, right? that probes me that the accurated movie vest is not dark gray).
In this pic, my vest is not airbrushed yet:


I think the Naboo Pilots Ep2 costuming Standards were based in pictures taked under flashlights, yes looks dark gray, but we have a ton of other visual references showing Olive Green.

Just my 2 cents.
