Re: Accurate Emperor robe -new head/hood pics see post #40
Thanks Markus.
It is very modest. It is limited to the spare bedroom and with six fullsize mannequins, not including the two about to be added. I'm busting at the seams. The wall space is lined with figures to the point where I'm going to have to overlap/stagger the figures. One of the walls is filled with shelves that display my full size yoda and a bunch of helmets.
From a display perspective, with the addition of the two future mannequins, it is going to be way too crowded, but it will have to do until I move into a bigger place with a larger room. :cry
That´s so cool...terrific work GINO.
May I ask how big your house/ museum/ prop room is, considering all your 1:1´s !? Do you have some pics of the whole room for us envious people
Thanks Markus.

Looks amazing, GINO! :thumbsup
What a fantastic find.
Curious, though, are you basing your claim that it is the exact same fabric as the screen-used fabric only your opinion, or did your research in finding it provide any kind of concrete, or even anecdotal, evidence that it was the same exact fabric?
Again, looks awesome!

The coolest part of this project was my ability (luck) in finding the exact fabric used for the outer cloak. I've been looking for this material for years so it was a huge deal to actually find it. There was only a limited amount left, so I purchased it all.
Looks amazing, GINO! :thumbsup

I don't recall slugs on his face
For what it's worth i agree the slight difference in the look of the weave is due to the weave loosening slightly with cleaning or wear on the original.
Did the fabric come in that colour or have you dyed it ?

Something looked 'off' to me in that last pic and I couldn't put my finger on what it was. Something was missing.
Then it hit me...

The Emperor looks awesome, Gino. :thumbsup
One suggestion. I think the head needs to sit down deeper into the torso/shoulders a little more. The way it looks now his neck seems pretty long which gives you a sense he's... i don't know... healthier? younger? stronger? and not slightly hunched over like a creepy old guy as he appeared in ROTJ.

Is there anyway that I could find out about getting some of that fabric?
Id love to get one made for myself.
