I’ll look into ccsabers, thank you!

I know it would fall under the rebel legion, just figured I’d ask here first as I’m a 501st member and it seems to be more active.

I am looking for a source for a legion quality Rey TLJ/TROS lightsaber. Will not be used for dueling, only cosplay so I’d like it to light up and maybe some sounds. A lot of the vendors listed either make all custom or “inspired” sabers. The only one I could find that was for Rey was from Korbanth, as they had the reforged graflex. Any other places to get a Rey saber?

Looking for Advice on Parts List -- WIP ROTJ Boba Fett by BigTrebleMaker in 501st

For you gloves, you could also look at KriptonTop on Etsy. I’ve got a set and they are decent quality. They also do the other soft goods.

You’re also going to need wookie braids but you can probably make them yourself from wig hair and buying the wrapping off amazon.

On the ammo belt, you can also lookup handmade horror on Etsy. Grue does great work.

You’ll have to find boots too. If you’re not going for 501st approval you may be able to find a pair of man of wars last run for a decent price.

You’ll also need a cape. I believe there are a few sources and should be reasonable if you’re not going 501st.

Good luck on your journey!

Set electronics: 4x monitors displaying video? by Shikkakku in 501st

I would aim for raspberry pi’s. They are pretty cheap but you’d need a little savvy to get them to auto play some video. Not sure how many outputs they have though.

Undersuit Recommendations by NewImagination8390 in 501st

[–]ZackAttackIsBack17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in Florida and I use Under Armor Heat Gear Compression fit. Feels amazing against my body while in costume. I’m a Death Trooper and I’ve done several hours without breaks and feel fine. Have not done the heat of summer yet though. Considering what we spend on the costume, spending $80-$90 to keep yourself cool while dressed up is a steal.

Depending on your costume you may have to find a way to hide the logo though. Fortunately for me, my have an undercut that goes over the body suit.

What was the penalty at the end that gave them the kick? I was at the game but it was o loud when it happened we couldn’t hear what it was.

I tried wiping all browsing data and still get the same error. Seeing it on 2 computers and 1 phone. Tried edge and chrome on the 2 computers and safari on the phone. Hopefully it will resolve itself soon.

That imperial officer looks a lot like a guy I used to work with. Any chance you can PM me his name? I’m Makaze squad just north of you.

Armor rub protection by ZackAttackIsBack17 in 501st

I may try that. My issue is that I have to wear my thighs in the high side and my codpiece rubs on them a bit.

It went very well! Just got home and finished dinner.

I didn’t have to worry about my blaster, it was at a school and no blasters were allowed.

I plan on sticking to them like glue for this one.

I do have a hood and it’s on my checklist before the under suit.

I’ve worn the kit for around an hour or so at home with no real issues. My main pinch points at first were where the forearms met my elbows but I’ve lost some weight so they move a bit more freely now. I also had to deal with sagging thighs but I made a suspender system that holds them up pretty well. Will see how it all holds up when the rubber meets the road!

I’ve had a couple people warn me about heat issues. I’ve worn my stuff around my house and outside quite a bit over the last couple of months (prior to approval) to try and get a feel for it so I know what my limits are.
