Re: Darth Malgus Costume WIP
Wow. Just wow. I found this thread because I was looking at random Ultrasabers since I have a few of them. And yes, I admit it. I made an account for the sole purpose of posting here and congratulating you on a job well done! But that doesn't even begin to say how awesome your build is. Like many others, I thought the pictures of you were promo shots from Bioware. They are that good. I'd be willing to bet you could send Bioware a resume and maybe get a job in some live-action promo videos or something.
On the subject of the lightsaber, you said you swapped out for a dueling blade? Which blade did you order with the saber? As the owner of 4 different Ultrasabers, I can vouch that even their mid-grade blades stand up to all but the most severe punishment, and the heavy-grades are just about impervious. I've swung mine full-force against concrete walls/corners and only gotten a scratch on them.
In any case, this has to be by far the best costume I've ever seen. The attention to detail is mind blowing. Well done, sir. Very well done.
