Ready to make a list of things

The KW Designs armor kit has been ordered, as well as the Slave1Pilot mask.

Now, the things that I need to get:

CLOAK - Goddamnit if I can't find a decent Acolyte cloak anywhere I'm willing to make it myself. I can drive all the way downtown to the cloth market and look for something suitable.

FINGER ARMOR - Just finger armor, really.

AB "PLATE" - There is someone I have in mind for it but I'm not sure he'd be willing to make detail latex pieces without his kit.

NECK SEAL - Same issue.

BOOTS - I need a cheap, black pair of combat boots.

GLOVES - Tactical black gloves, preferably neoprene or poly blend.

BELT POUCHES - Sounds easy but really isn't. I might need to find any kind of rectangular or square pouches that I paint and weather to dark gray.

CANISTER THINGY - It looks like a small E11 scope. But I ain't disassembling my E11. I think it's supposed to be a comlink.

LIGHTSABER - Holy hell it's complicated to pick one.

Contacts, emails, pm's...

Wolfgang, Nathan and soon the Vault will be involved in this project.

My wallet is shaking in fear! The path to the dark side is scary.

One day, I had an idea

Today I decided I'd be serious about making another Star Wars costume. Any other fandom is okay, I just need consistency with this hobby.

I don't like Jedi, but I don't love evil characters.

I like bright lights but I don't like bright colors.

I like amor and masks, and I want people to believe it could be anybody in there.

The answer is...


So far I've gathered enough information to plan ahead, financially. The armor is going to be a problem (adjusting, probably reshaping certain parts to fit my lower-than-average build) and the custom lightsaber is going to burn a hole through my account.
