... Any idea for what to use as the face gauze in the mask?... Your knowledge is much appreciatedThe material he wears is generally rougher than most of the Sith. His outer tunic is almost identical to a Crusader’s surcoat. His inner tunic is pretty much a Renaissance Doublet. His hood and shawl are close to an archer’s mantle. His lightsaber is a cross-guard reminiscent to medieval swords and he holds it like a European martial artist rather than Asian. Even the outer tunic fabric is similar to Monk’s Cloth.
His entire shtick is European Knight to the standard Jedi Samurai.
Initially, I’d say black nylon stockings. It looks to be the go-to for masks of this nature. I have some good pictures of the material and will do some visual tests, but for now I’d say black nylons.... Any idea for what to use as the face gauze in the mask?... Your knowledge is much appreciated
..... Wow!!... I'm so glad and humbled by your comments on my helmet build!.... Appreciate them all... I've recieved a few PMs about interest in a run... Please PM only if you are seriously interested in the first run. I'll respond with my a few basic details, you can decide from there.....I still have a lot of tedious work still to do. Next week after I feel I've taken it as far as I humanly can, I will post detail by detail shots of what I sculpted and my reference shots. Will what I produce be perfect? No it is a imperfect sculpt by a imperfect guy. But I hope it will be a worthy first attempt. I have very little to go on for the top and back of the overall helmet itself. So, it will be what it will be .... Here is an answer to a auxiliary question I was asked privately about the Helmet.
"How did you come up with your measurements for the build?
.... Let me start by saying, I was at C7. So I saw the actual helmet itself. Of course, I took detailed photos and video of the helmet, as many of you here also did. Secondly, I have a really, really good eye for measuring. So I also took down measurement notes while standing in front of Kylo. So far everything has measured out just right... I truly feel you will be happy with the size being near to screen accuracy ... Hope this info satisfies a few questions, Thank you all again!
Slightly off topic, but since you've an eye for measurements, any guesses as to Kylo Ren's lightsaber handle height?
That is incredible work. PM forthcoming. As for your lightsaber measurements, wouldn't that make his hilt more of a broadsword than a ******* style? From the trailer it definitely looks like a one and a half hander. But unfortunately I never got a chance to see the actual prop due to those long lines.

With how little ferrance there is for this helmet it has turned out beautifully . Plus even if it turns out that it's not spot on to the movie version I love it . To me it looks identical to the concept art photos that were leaked and I love that look . I'll be happy either way .
Maybe the new Vanity fair with the Star Wars Episode VII article will show some revealing images of the helmet
