Yep. I'm still having some pull apart, I presume just the amount of tensile force in the helmet and the elasticity of the cement. But significantly improved by comparison to the pic in the first msg

It was entirely not letting the cement set up long enough before pressing the two pieces together. Things lost in the magic of editing youtube vids. Thanks for the help!

Thanks everyone! I have been preheating to coax some dome-age into the parts before attempting to cement everything. I'll give the 15 min set time a go this evening and let you all know if this solves my problem. In regards to how long I'm holding things together, as long as it takes to get a...

I started with waiting until it was dry to the touch but tacky and have experimented with waiting longer. I really haven't timed it but I would say minutes, no more than 5.

Hi Everyone, I'm trying the EVA foam floor mats costuming methods as promoted by Bill Doran and Evil Ted. It's been going pretty well up until I start trying to adhere things together to force things to curve or dome. What's happening is the seams are pulling. I've tried varying the set time...

That's an interesting idea. Unfortunately I've had to shelve this project for a while as some life events have taken priority this year. I appreciate the comments and will consider them when I can pick this back up (hopefully in a few months)

Gorgeous and inspiring. Fantastic Work!

@ SMP Designs: Thanks for the suggestions. Just got a few things to ask to make sure we're both on the same page. You're suggesting the civil war jacket as the structure & shape is roughly the same. And then making it out of muslin to build it on the cheap and easily mark on it the changes I...

Hi, I am stepping into new territory here. Though I have some experience sewing things together (mostly plushies and props) following patterns, I have never designed and made a garment. The pictures below show what I hope to have in the end. For the sake of getting going, I'm only focused on...

Not a bad idea. thanks!

I took a look around but, of the other Starkiller builds, I didn't find anything in the area of concern. Let me see if I can better state my dilema. I'm not having trouble with the accessories so much as I am the garment. How to go about making the transition from screen grabs and sketches to...

Hello All, I've decided to take all the skills I've built over the years and finally taking the leap into a screen accurate costume. So I thought I'd try my hand at making Starkiller's outfit from when he's on Dagoba in Force Unleashed II. Whhhhhy nibble when you can bite off more than you can...

Dude, this is amazing!!! I would love to see your work in process pictures!!!
