Re: yoda shirt and robe how to make help

Hey Mark, I too am getting Cyberman's "FANTASTIC" Yoda, Maybe you can shoot Gino a PM on the Details on how he made the Robe to match up with him. I've got one from a while back and IT'S BEAUTIFUL!!! :thumbsup. Now I'm just waiting on the final touches for my Yoda "CAN'T WAIT!!!!". I'll post pics when I get' em. I even built a small set for him to feel right at home. C

Re: Yoda shirt....need help in making the shirt under robe

I´m in the process of finishing my own YODA and I´m curious as well.
Overall size of the green fellow should be 66cm IIRC

what material did you use for the robe

I have a large piece of raw silk, that I´m planning to use for the robe.
I also have the 100% correct fabric (also raw silk, but different weaving), but it´s not enough to make a robe from. Still looking for another source, but this stuff is nearly impossible to find :unsure

Maybe I´ll have one done, that I can put on my other -CKING- Yoda later on, IF I ever find the correct stuff.

Hey Nathan

Thanks for the link!
Are you sure this silk has the proper THICK weaving/ the color etc. seems to be spot on!?

Just found a seller in Germany and asked for some samples.

Thanks,
Markus

Yes this is the correct stuff.......identical stuff used on the original Yoda outer robe and Old Ben inner robe. As you may have already guessed, Yoda's robes were a reverse of Old Ben's, both in fabric and in color. :)

Yoda's tunic is not the same material as his robe. The tunic may be a wool blend, but the weave is much tighter. Totally different weave.

Dave
 
It does have a sheen to it in some pics, which may mean poly/wool blend. But I agree. It's possible it's identical to old ben's outer robe material
 
Gentlemen, I should say Dave (Vaderdarth up here) and I are working on a full Yoda Set for the near future.... so don´t fret, everyone will have their Yoda fully dressed in no time :)

Now that are great news :)
Any idea about the price-frame yet?...don´t want to spend $500 on these :rolleyes

We won't work out the price until the project is ready to roll. A ballpark guestimate on these will be in the upper 300s. The final cost will include both the inner and outer robe. We work on full clothing ensembles when we do these projects. Keep your eyes peeled as we intend to reveal another of our costuming projects next week. :) Yoda is on our drawing board right now. Don't get in a huge hurry, the old ben and our next costume debuting very soon took 3 years from beginning to a finished prototype. We are nearing completion on the Yoda costume. :) Most of you may have seen this already, but this is our first costume we've worked on together. This is the type of quality we are striving for.
