Been looking at wigs/goatee. How accurate would it have to be? Besides the dreads, i mean the color. Its a very dark brown with salt & pepper hair. Would a dark brown wig work, or a black one?

When I looked closely at the lines stitched on the arms, I noticed a discrepancy:

Several versions of the costume have different number of lines.

Note: The raised texture of the stitched lines and the way it's affecting the fabric, to me, appear to be a chain stitch.

Each scene/location/event had it's own version of the costume, with unique weathering from clean to dirty... Interesting how the arm lines change as well. Perhaps they did this to identify which costume was used in what scene? Certainly an interesting discovery. Smile

So, I'm new to this and Currently working on my chewbacca, but I'm putting together stuff to start this after the summer. ... i preface this as someone new to this and the RL..

When I started reading.. The first thing I bought was the British Nomex flight suit because, It was easy to search for that using those terms.

When a read an A.L.I.C.E. pack, I knew exactly what I need to get. (But being ex military) I thought of that as a pack base when i first saw the movie.

So my 2 cents are.... Use the most descriptive way to help others locate the items they need. But maybe preface it as a description and not necessarily a band needed. I think it, like other costumes allows some to make changes the might help them wear or fit right.

But I must also say.... If a suit is well put together and looks amazing do you really care if someone has 12 stitches or 9?

Armor and other parts: Does it need to be made out of a plastic base like the storm troopers or is something like the foam acceptable?

Anyways That is my thoughts if it mean anything as someone new. I'll be following to keep getting ideas Smile

But, Kids at the hospital don't look at stitches.. They are excited to see their favorite character.

I'm currently about 60% done on mine. Just wondering, and not sure if this is the best place to ask, but do we have any details on how the rig is actually attached to the back? I'm having some serious trouble thinking on how the pack is actually securely attached. Enough for it to stay on for running.

i see what you mean,but assuming those straps are attached to the chest piece, it would still be bouncing around too much as it not being attached at the bottom. My initial idea was to mount it through the suit to a molle vest worn inside.

Watching an early copy last night I spotted the answer also a few other references we have missed.

He does have the cap in most scenes, so that should probably be added to the CRL

It appears that there is a stiff patch under his suit and the holes here are probably where the backpack goes in.

There is a leather pouch that the back tool goes in. This tool is scene in his leg pocket on some displays

I’d love to see these standards get finalized, both to make life easier for judging these and hopefully to get more applications! Any further thoughts on the standard proposal in this thread?

As no additional discussion was raised in this topic, all feedback were summarized, included into original proposal and we have now final topic, where we can vote about accepting this costume standard or not Wink

Does anyone have a diameter and height for the Baze Malbus barrel on his back? Same with the pipe?

Trying to help a friend with their build. Thanks!
