To eliminate the need for carrying around a rare PPV2, This belt hanger is made by Greeblies for Geeks at Shapeways designed by Gustavo Canales, the designer of the PPV2. This is literally a plastic replica of the PPV2 with a brass clip. I tried replicating TLJ paint style with this one. Accurate transulcent wire by Tom Leech at The Proplicator.

Obligatory Ben Swolo:

Here’s the unstable blade I pulled from the Vanity Fair shoot:

MY STAR WARS painting, I painted this before seeing the film! But I never got around to uploading it. So here it is! PLEASE tell me what you think of it!

I’m copying this from my Rebel Legion entry which can be found here.

EeanLedgor at the Rebel Legion provided the basis on which these patterns are made. I took the base plans and have been digitizing them into a complete Jedi uniform that would be as accurate as possible. This includes details from the outer tunic lining to the pants so everyone can have access to a reliable pattern that is easy to just print off and work with. The patterns are on 36" X 48" paper that can easily be printed at any print shop (e.g. Kinkos, Office Max, etc.). That’s a pretty standard size.

Here are the pattern files:

Outer Tunic Pattern Inner Tunic Pattern Pants Pattern Robe Pattern (This one is big so it’s in pieces that must be assembled)

These are ready for printing on 36" X 48" sheets of paper. If you don’t have access to a printer this size, any print store (e.g. Kinko’s) will print it cheaply.

Note on the Inner Tunic: The “Inner Tunic Extension” piece is not necessary. I didn’t include it on mine but if you wan’t the Inner Tunic to tuck into your pants, then you’ll need to add it to the front and back Inner Tunic Pieces at the bottom. The lengths match the front and back of the Inner Tunic and will simply extend it so it doesn’t end at your waist. I did not do this on mine because the outfit is hot enough and the Outer Tunic obviously covers it.

Also, the pieces just labeled “Inner Tunic Collar” is to spare you from pleating a long stretch of material that won’t be seen. You’ll just fold and sew the pieces like is indicated and then attach them to either end of the pleated collar portion. Center the pleated collar on the tunic and just like that you only went through the pleating nightmare for what will be visible through the outer tunic.

The skirt will need adjusting for length based on the person.

Cut the Obi at an angle to the grain. The crinkles of the fabric should ascend to your right shoulder.

For detailed assembly instructions, here’s a link to the original tutorial this is all based on.

FINISHED PRODUCT

A new project begins. 

Top - Custom KR Lightsaber in TFA paint. Need to get repainted for TLJ.

Middle - “Disney Parks” Exclusive. So close to screen used but the cross-guard is too chunky.
