When I unscrewed the disc, I pushed it up from underneath with a stick at every little opening. I was so close to removing it without breaking, but it ended up snapping near the end. But I don't need it anyway.

Awesome. Thanks. ^^ I kind of thought that's where it was attached based on the way it looked when he walked.I went to the Digital Domain site (they did the effects for Tron Legacy) and they had a ton of great videos... Digital Domain: The Making of Tron Legacy
I got a pretty great picture of the back of the cloak, and its very clear where the cape is attached.

I went out and did some shopping today; got my patterns for the coat, pants, and under jacket as well as fabric for the pants and some ugly blue gingham (think Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz) to practice modifying the coat on. I've attached a photo of the pants fabric. It looks gray, but it's a darkish blue that I'm going to dye black. I'm not sure if I want to make the under jacket out of it as well since it's fairly stretchy or see if I can find something with a more rubbery appearance.
As far as the disc goes, I've been skimming over the deluxe mod threads and my plan was to take a Rinzler disc and swap out the white LEDs inside with yellow ones, but I'm not sure how orange that would make it. I have to find the disc first since the three stores I went to only had the Sam one. The Soulinertia route is another option, though the full kit is a bit more than I'd like to spend; unless I just get the rings and paint the inner one with transparent paint. I'm hoping to wear this to a con in May, so I still have time. This will probably be the last thing I work on anyway.
Actually, yes!
Also, It makes me really happy to see people jump in who recently joined, makes me feel like theres a lot of interest in this project, enough to sign up. Just thinking out loud
As always, thanks for the continued help
Well, I managed to get the inner ring out in one piece by sliding out the open ends rather than trying to lift them up, so I'll try painting them. Deco Art (I think) makes a transparent glass paint that doesn't need to be baked so I'll see how well it adheres to plastic and hides the blue without making it green.You can always just paint over the outering and the c ring. I did that and the lights still shine through. Its especially awesome with glow paint :cool
I was planning on using some heat shaped craft foam covered in fabric and then stitch the collar on top of that so it looks like a part of the garment and not like something just stuck on top of it.PS, what are your plans for the collar/shoulder pads??

I just purchased a pattern for a priest cassock off ebay. The cassock will need to be modified a bit of course but its a great place to start imo.

Any updates on these from Anybody? I'm making a Tron jacket for a friend along the same lines and would like to know if you guys found something that worked or didn'tAt the moment, my plan is to tightly wrap the fabric around some hard-ish surface, cardboard, plastic, etc.
So your reflective tape only shined that bright when hit by the flash from your camera correct, im still kinda skeptical on using it for my costume just cause it would look still in the day since it doesnt really show much.
This is the pattern I used. Granted, I altered the living crap out of it, but it's a decent base. Here's my relatively finished costume. I still have to add the lights on the legs and swap the other lights out to LEDs since the el wire didn't work as well as I had hoped.Nobody come up with a pattern for this robe yet?
Everything, save for the ID disc, was made by me.Where did you get your helmet from?
Did you make it?
