Wraith[501st] Posted July 22, 2020 Report Share Posted July 22, 2020 After pining over this character for nearly five years, I have finally committed to building my own set of armor. This will be my very first armored costume, so I’m quite nervous about it. Depending on who is measuring me, I am about 6’ tall (give or take an inch), so the prospect of portraying a tall character like Captain Phasma is something I am really looking forward to doing. I chose to do The Last Jedi version simply because I like the bright chrome look over the weathered version. Pieces of my costume: Helmet: Shawn Thorsson (first run, 2015) Armor Kit: KB Props (on order) Boots: Dr. Martens Flora Chelsea Boots Neck Seal: Geeky Pink’s Fabric Gaskets: Geeky Pink’s Rubber Gaskets (for EIB): ??? Belt: ??? Undersuit: ??? Cape: Sewn by me I’m still in the early stages of building this costume, so my first steps are to prepare the helmet, order everything else I need, and start on my cape. I do plan to eventually submit it for EIB status, so I am not cutting any corners along the way. This is going to be fun, I think. Terrifying, but fun. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to read you have started make your dream come true. and Yes, at the beginnig it looks terrifying but if you take care , "measure twice or more, read the crl carefully, look at the reference photos and glue just once" , you will enjoy the process . Looking forward for your BBB day and Build Thread ! Good Luck 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wraith[501st] Posted August 10, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 My armor kit is here. To say I’m a bit overwhelmed is an understatement, but I’m sure I’ll figure it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted August 10, 2020 Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 Great to see, we all go through it, the excitement of the BBB, the unpacking, then the sheer panic "HOW DO I DO THIS" Once you have cut your first piece you will wonder what all the panic was about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
