Has anyone any idea where i can get a passable palpatine cloak, hood and clasp, does not have to be screen accurate, but fairly good. Just so i can have my boss with me when i go trooping as vader.
Additionally, anyone have any tips for the face, is a mask the only way?
Thanks
The way they did it in revenge was with a latex hood first, then they put a one peace part on which covered the forehead, and cheeks, then they puc on a second piece around the mouth, then blended, etc.
I could make a prosthetic up for you,something simple, or there is a rubies mask available, not seen it in person, but the catalogue shot looks the part (but rubies are known for there stuff looking a bit different in the flesh)

I'm pretty sure the hands were just airbrushed, and then finger nails were added.
Thanks guys, I do see "Sith robes" on e-bay every now and then, i assume they are just long black hooded robes but again, i'm not sure of their accuracy, any one still wnat to chime in about this. Also, looks like i would have to go with the mask version as i not a skilled make up artist, perhaps a bit of lip gloss here and there
If your still interested let me know... I've done a Palpatine prosthetic based on ROTJ. Shown here...
I am currently making hands for my Palpatine. I bought press on nails that I am chipping up with the dremel and then will airbrush them the proper shade of rotten yellow.
My robe was made by a fellow member of the garrison who just looked at reference pics and made it in half a day with no pattern. There is a website called mystikmerchant.com that makes black robes. If you get the mace windu style in black, that will be pretty close to an emperor robe. I got my Plo Koon robe from them, and can vouch for its quality.
As for the clasp, you can make something similar to the MR out of wood. Use a router to round the edges, and then a smaller router bit to set in some designs. Sand and paint.
Thanks. loads of ideas, i'm still looking out for robes but have managed to commission someone to make the mask.

But i will be spending about £30 British pounds on the latex mask so far.What kind of price range are you working with?

I would imagine Palps would be one of the cheaper costumes to put together, especially if you go the ROTJ route. I may be wrong but that's how it seems to me.
Anyone wanna chime in with how much an accurate Palps would cost?

So i'm going for the ROTS (black) Robes and the clasp, Frosty is going to be looking into making a face mask.
Now, i need to get the Dollars
Found a source for the fabric, and I decided to make my own version of the clasp. The final piece will be cast in glossy black resin. The red reflections on it are from the shirt I was wearing while I took the picture...
