now use 3 point straps instead of elastic, more comfortable)
The
Darth Revan Costume Armor and Robes
This
was the first Star Wars costume I made. I sculpted the Revan
mask in sculpey clay first and made all the body armor parts
in pottery clay and cast them all in urethane plastic. I developed
my own fabric patterns and finished it just in time for Halloween
2005. I have made many changes and upgrades since then.
Features:
• Made from strong impact resistant polyurethane plastic
(similar to football helmet plastic) and high impact styrene
• Average armor thickness: 1/4" - 1/8"
• Lightweight body armor: 1lbs. 9oz.
• Ready to wear
• The flexible body armor accomodates most body types
• Fits adults only
• Hand painted acrylic and enamel
• Protective enamel clear coating
• Unique fan-made original
• High accuracy and detail based on in-game model
• Has met 501st standards (Please review the current
costume standards to see what might need an upgrade for 501st
approval: here)
Parts
Include:
• Mask with straps (no padding, might be necessary)
• Breastplate and abdomen armor (joined by straps)
• Webbing straps on torso armor with black plastic clips
that can be used to hold torso armor close to the body
• Hand and arm guards (bracers are full with top and
bottom pieces that hinge open and velcro together and hand
pieces have elastic bands to hold them in the proper place)
• Central plastic ring with webbing straps attached
to chest plate
• All metal rings shown including the metal rings that
hang from the bottom of the armor
Fabric
includes hood/shoulder wrap, cape, skirt, black sash and red
sash. Upgrades include pleats on the skirt/hakama, vertical
ribs on red sash, metallic-color fabric strip for between
chest and abdomen plate.
It looks like the Revan action figure packaging art was based
on an early photo of my mask (superimposed frame). How cool
is that?
