I've got an extra Medi vest and belt if anybody needs them for their custom.

Looks great! Is that all sideshow gear? I've got my sideshow outfit this morning so I'll be assembling my jedi luke when I get in from work!

Awesome pose man!!, but that belt position is killing me hahaha.. [emoji23][emoji23]

Great pics man. The "Obi" or cloth belt is a bit too high. The leather belt should sling around the center of the Obi and be lowered.

One more nit pic if it matters to you but his Tabard vest should overlap left on top of right like you are buttoning a shirt.

Thanks and yes it's the sideshow outfit which i've altered to fit better,i still have the belt and vest to do...hence the poor positioning of it

Cheers! Just trying to find a way for making the black suit fit in the shoulders better. I've stuffed a little bit of fabric in that area. Still needs work

RETURN OF THE JEDI

Ok guys this is a rough attempt at making my own vest. It's a very rough prototype at the moment. And it's only my first attempt. Let me know what you think?

I know the colour is a little off. This is more of a rough template for when I get the correct material

Not bad. What's the back look like? It seems like it leans more towards a traditional tabard and Obi and not the vest that Luke wore. So many people misunderstand that his Jedi tabard is non traditional. Pretty much just a vest with a scarf around the neck.

I think what jedijim points out is true. Your vest as a different cut from the one in the movie.

Your vest looks more like the prequel vests, with a triangular shape.

Jedi Luke's vest in the movie was simpler, almost like an open sweater vest, without buttons...

Some more pics.

I'm guessing by the wrist peg you used a Medicom body with a Hot Toys head. Using the slightly thinner body really helps with the proportions. Great job.

Thanks para. Even the sideshow tabard is incorrect. It looks great but not movie accurate. The Medicom is the only one that looks correct so far. If you are going for your own look I'd say it's great but for movie accuracies it's not like a prequel tabard.

The vest is a true vest that has the scarf like tabard that just goes around the neck and opens in the front to look like a traditional tabard. Sort of like old bens tabard in ANH.

This is not an original but just gives you the idea.

The sideshow still has that vest look but the front looks more like this.

Yeah I see what you guys mean. It's literally just four strips of material, it's a rough go only took me ten minutes to make haha. I'm gonna get some proper material after ive been paid. Then I'll have a proper go and try and do it properly, or even just a better version of what I have done.
Thanks for the feedback guys

so I went and replaced the TTM22 body I was using on Luke before (the photo I quote), and I now have used the HT Boba Fett ROTJ body.

What I think:

- the chest area and arms improve.
- but the legs maybe are too thick.

I don't know what I should do... using Boba Fett body enables me to sell one TTM22, which is worth a lot lol

Haha thanks man it really is nothing special at all just four strips of material I had lying around. If you'd like I can take some pics, I've updated it a little. And show you how I did it. I'm hoping to buy a better material and try again soon
