Rey - Star Wars: The Force Awakens Build (open for everyone!)

[Kendra]

My fingers hurt in anticipation of all of the punching and stitching you will soon do. They feel your pain.

That being said, i cannot wait to see this done! :thumbsup

Couldn't agree more. I'm curently working on the backpack too since 3 days... here is the result now, and it's not finish yet Good luck @RPFKOV !


I've used this large messager bag for the base (ebay seller : http://www.ebay.fr/itm/NEW-VINTAGE-...SSENGER-BAG-/252392730678?hash=item3ac3c77036) :

so should the lobster clasps for the sling be 1 1/2 or 1 1/4?

1 1/2 I believe. That was the dimensions postedby division 6 earlier, and was the size of the clasps I used.

 

[Fett 4 Real]

1 1/2 from Amazon. Look for a bit and you'll find the exact ones they used.

I would be interested in bandages as well for my Mini Rey

Still working on this. But it's getting close. Thanks to Kristen for all the help.

After I had it all drawn out on the leather, I sliced into the leather from each end, but stopped before actually splitting it into two pieces completely. There is about a 5 or 6 inch part in the center where the "two halves" are still joined together.
Then after cutting, I wetted the leather in the center and bent the two sides of what will become the "lower belt" and allowed it to dry.
See? One piece of leather, joined in the center, and the lower portion is wetted and bent downward to let it fall on your hip.

As I was cutting my own second belt yesterday, I was wondering if slicing it from one straight strip would work-- so thank you for sharing this! Would sure take less square footage! At least the little triangles left over are perfect for the arm bracer...

I just finished this up for my daughter's birthday. I'll be giving it to her this weekend. I made it to where it comes apart at the grips for easy transport. The grips keep it straight and sturdy.

Gah, I couldn't get the hangar bolt idea to work. Did you use a drill press?

 

[detenten]

Does any have any extra lobster claw clasps to use on the sling to connect to the staff? I have ordered some, but they don't look like they are going to show up in time for the convention I'm going to in 2 weeks halp!

Yes, but it looks like I saw your post one week late... I ordered a dozen of them, so I have 5 extra sets.

I didn't... i just hand drilled it as squarely as I could, When I thread the halves together they are slightly "off" but once they draw doen tight against each other it straightens out and is completely flush and plumb. :thumbsup

No,my press could not fit that long of a pole underneath it. I used a center finder to find the center. . Then I drilled through some thicker material to keep the bit straight. The longer the hangar bolt the better. It took a few tries to get it right.

Working on a costume for my 10 year old.

Searching I seen a number of mentioned of estimating Rey's staff at 6'. Is that about what it is? I'm trying to figure a ratio to my daughter based on Daisy Ridley's height (5' 7"+1" for the soles of the boots ;-))
Thanks so much in advance

Also, does anybody have a good tutorial or video to wrapping the headwrap?

 

[kristen jones]

staff should be about six inches taller than the user.

headwrap is a long sleeve t shirt. put face through neckhole, twist and wrap sleeves behind head, then cross in front, then tie off in back.

So, I was finally able to try out my unfinished Rey. I still need to make all of the greeblies and extras that go on the pack and shoulder, as well as the belt pouch but otherwise it's coming along. The pants are *way* to dark, and the head scarf a bit too bulky, but it was still fun to wear!

Also, I love that Rey is SO popular with young girls. Thank you Star Wars.

 

[kristen jones]

Nah... your headwrap looks good to me.

Pants are maybe a *little* dark... but not bad at all.

Don't beat yourself up... it looks smashing. :thumbsup

and OMG....how do you not just kidnap every little Rey you come across??? They are all so adorable!

BEST part of Rey costuming by far...seeing their glowing faces!

 

[kandell]

Ordered some green bubble lenses to make Rey's goggles. I seriously just want to make and wear everything that Rey has and wears T-T

 

[kristen jones]

Who did you get them from?
