Cloak fabric?

I spent a couple of hours going through this fabrics market in Paris. Looking for something not too lightweight, not transparent, not too heavy and that wouldn't require too much ironing, and that isn't a dust/hair magnet. I own 4 cats and a dog. Even though I will turn Sith, my cloak will be pet-friendly.

Found this polyesther/cotton blend for around 25 euros a yard. Yeah, I know.

Madness. And it's only close enough! Finding the exact same fabric as Slave1pilot's cloak was turning out to be a real problem, not financially, it just wasn't there.

Meshing the visor and stuff

The mask has found its way home!!!

For this kind of mask I wanted to try getting a black mesh type of material for the eyes. As seen from screen captures, there are no reflections on them which means we can't use a tinted plastic lense. While rummaging through my house I found this:

Folded a dozen times, here's the temporary result under different lighting:

After I was done messing around with that, I started planning how I would mod the armor.

I will use some sealing material to give it more oomph.

"Sitting around, being overwhelmed" Day

Today after a long work week and a lot of plastic trimming, I realized I was out of E6000 glue, so I ordered some.

Then after getting a mail from Nathan that my mask was sent and on its way to here, I thought "yaaay" and ordered:

The tactical gloves:

The balaclava:

Two knife pouches: (5.5x11x2 cm)

I already have these boots: (but they're gross and worn)

Trim Job Part 1

The KWD kit for the TOR Jedi armor arrived a couple of weeks ago. So, juggling work, gaming (ok that could have been cut down) and basic surviving, I began trimming down the pieces.

All of the armor parts are directly transferable from Jedi to Sith, except for some.

The hand plate. Too large for my own, and visually inaccurate when compared to that of the Acolytes. The "spike" placements are set too far apart, for one. I will attempt to narrow down the outer edges if only to have something to wear ontop of my gloves.

The chestplate. Only the central "O" piece has to be removed. Done!

The ab piece. The "fake" belt pouches will need to be removed and filled in. I will attempt to do with using ABS paste. The central buckle will have to be replace by an accurate, and detached one.
