    I would see no issue in adjusting this based on new evidence at all. Can I ask if you intend to update this detail on your current costume?

    I do plan to do this update and would get photos of it and from the back to update the crl.

     

    I am in process and should have it done today. I should have some photos of that this weekend.

    Hello!

     

    Now that Celebration is over, and we got some great pics of some of the costumes. It has come to my attention that the Moff Gideon CRL needs to be adjusted in one small section.

     

    "Five to Six evenly spaced pleats are present, approximately 1 inch (38mm) in size, clustered at the back of the neck, where the cape fabric meets the trim."

     

     

     The cap has a total of seven pleats. One center box pleat , and then 3 knife pleats on the sides.

    Here is something that we just thought to think about, we were staring at the how he hung the dark saber on the belt, and we only have a not great picture from the promo art of season two, and it looks like it is a drapery hook hung on the inside belt under the sash.

     

    I just got it today and took a some new photos.

    This line seems a bit  confusing to me-

     

    • Level 2: Must reflect 1:1 scale in size and must appear to be of metal or chrome stock.

     

     

    The darksaber is gloss black not so chrome. With the ridges, it scatters the light oddly  but it is black rubber on gloss black hilt.

     

    Most sabers that are currently coming online will have metal ridges to keep production costs down. 

     

     

     

    I feel like the leather patches  in the leg on show   dont quite  cover half the leg, maybe 2/5, but the toy does have more have half. Not sure.  I'm looking to tweak them anyway, but want this to be the final tweak to them.

     

    Also I think the leather panels on the legs are in 2 Parts, not one. Might be good for the level 2. I'll be fixing this as soon as I final determination on size and how may sections.

    I pinged Gus about the Moff Gideon CRL as he was my original build partner before he decided to focus on Fett, he said he didn't have anything else to add.

    It probably would be good to standardize the measures to either metric or imperial standard. I had this weird kludge pulling in information from different sources and locations.

     

    Also raised rectangular sections of the darksaber should be gunmetal, with the gloss black base.

    The trim should be grey level 1

    The cape should be shaped to go around the shoulders and the pauldrons in a rigid line

     

    Level 2:  The trim is black with a white/grey hexagonal pattern with a black circle in the center. " 

     

    I think after we talked about this, we decided that the light blew out the coloring on the trim. It should be all hex, but not sure if you want a level 1vs level 2 for that.

     

    I second Hask on the red piping for the leg. Took us forever to find it haha
