Alright......ladies and gentlemen! It is time to begin the backpack! The item of this build I have been waiting to start the longest!
May the Force be with me.

YESSZZ!!! I absolutely loved making both of mine... the kit-bashed messenger bag AND the from-scratch leather one.

Exciting times! Be sure to post progress pics.

i can't wait to follow ur build. Any chance of creating a separate build thread? Just saying these 120 page threads are tough to filter thru.

Anyone have are a set of plans for this backpack.

I do have. I need to find a way of making them digital for sharing. They are drafted out on paper, full scale. I could try scanning and assembling the images, but really dimensions are all anyone should really need. Perhaps if I take pictures of the plans and give dimensions?

By the way, for anyone making Rey's backpack I have modeled two of the canisters you need for someone here in France and thought others might be interested too? Both are hollow inside and have functional lids.

Dimensions for both:

So if anyone's interested I can upload them on Shapeways so you can order them directly. Or if you prefer I can make the 3D files directly available but I don't know how good they'll come out if printed with a FDM printer.

I'll start a backpack build thread and link to it here (I think that's ok). I'm using divison 6's pattern for the backpack, but I'll post it again on my build thread.

That was for me

Both of the canister came out very well.

Pictures next to a ruler, accompanied by measurements would work well. Otherwise scanning them and copying into some graphics program at the appropriate size for 1:1 printing.

Either way id like to check out ur plans.

Perfect, I was about to ask you if you could chime in

. Didn't want to use your pics without your approval.

So for anyone interested, here are the links to order them through Shapeways (I'm not making any markup on these if you're wondering):
Shapeways Shoulder Canister
Shapeways Backpack Canister

And if you prefer printing them on your own, here's the link to download directly the 3D files. But please keep in mind that those are optimized for Shapeways, so printing them with a FDM printer might be a little more complicated. Nothing impossible though.
Rey's Backpack Canisters

Of course I have to precise that even though I offering these for free, I'm not giving anyone the permission to use these 3D files to create masters and make resin runs thanks to them after.

T5H and Kendra thank you for the collaborative creative effort and cooperative sharing attitude on Rey's canisters. I think it is great when we see not only how others are doing their projects but also how we might improve our own.

If anyone is working on a Rey staff at present I have some extra strap hardware if anyone wants them, I found you can't buy two or one of anything
theses days. You buy packs of something. I have four sets of lobster claws and four fixed bar buckles. Two of the sets have lobster claws that are 1.25"
and two that are 1.5". I believe the 1.5" wide are the correct size, but the 1.25" look just as nice to my eye. You can see in the pictures the difference.
I found the correct D-rings at Home Depot for a 98¢ each. At least those you can buy one of.

I'm definitely interested. I'm working on a 3/4 sized version for my 5 year old daughter. Just finished weathering now I need to make the strap. Please PM me.

Alright! It is done! My rey backpack build thread is started!

VERY proud (and rather absent...) Thread Momma here! I want to congratulate every single one of you on your amazing Rey cosplays, your dedication to the craft, your willingness to help each other out, and making this community a great one. We're already gaining a great reputation in the cosplay world at large for being Sister Reys, #reyitforward (best hashtag ever, kristenjones), and willing to help at a moment's notice.

Next, I will be working on writing up a Master blog post entitled "The Ultimate Guide to Rey's Costume" to help future Reys out. A lot of folks are showing up here, on Facebook, and my personal blog with costume questions, so I thought, why not make a one-stop guide? (With a link here of course, for folks to ask more questions and meet this lovely community). I'll post a link to it here when I'm done.

In the meantime, my Rey costume is finally finished! I debuted her at Dragoncon, then did some fitting tweaks, and did another photoshoot with a 501st friend who did an amazing Kylo Ren (his first ever costume and first ever photoshoot! I was honoured to be a part of it. He killed it!). I also was able to join the Rebel Legion (as of yesterday), so I'm incredibly excited to use this costume to give back to the community. Yes, wearing a costume for oneself is fun, but there's nothing quite like watching kids' faces light up when they see their hero. Or heck, even seeing fellow Rey's faces light up when they see you (there was a lot of that at Dragoncon this year!). Thanks again to all of you who helped me out in making and bringing this costume together! (you know who you are.

) Seriously, our little Rey community really pulled together to help me make this costume. I've cried big fat Jakku tears on more than one occasion due to generosity. So I'm going to do my best to be worthy of said generosity and give back in any way I can.

theyrenotdolls · Oct 7, 2016

can anyone link me to the best resource for the soft parts of her staff...namely the leather strappy things that connect to the enfield straps as well as the appropriate way the wrappings should be contstructed.

thanks,
den

Of course PoZu puts out a coupon code right after I ordered....!!!

I made mine from the blank leather straps you can find at craft stores. You know, the ones that you're supposed to make cuff/ bracelets out of. I made a paper mockup on my staff, and added about an inch for the snaps.

Here's my pattern for mine. I think my pipe base was 3/4 of an inch wide, but I'm not 100 percent.
Rey Staff Holder.
Top/bottom of holder: 5" long, 1" wide. Cut 2.
Middle pieces to connect the top/bottom: 3 1/4" long, 1" wide. Cut 2.
For reference, here's a pic of mine.
Everything about it was bought at hobby lobby.

Sorry about the crappy shots. My usual photo taking device is currently out of commission.

theyrenotdolls · Oct 7, 2016

Wow wow those boots are actually kinda cool. Aside from costuming. They're like uggs that aren't ugly

Wow, this thread is a bit huge

I'm looking at the staff and was wondering what a good source for stls for 3D printing would be? I've seen references to a 1" dowel as a base, but some of the files look more like 1 1/8". Suggestions?

Contact JUSTINIAN. He makes excellent ones.

Jonathan makes an excellent Rey Staff kit.

Alternately, you could contact JUSTINIAN. He has a fantastic resin kit which is also designed to fit on 1" dowels. 1-1/8" is too big, in my opinion.

VERY proud of you... and geeked to bits that you've joined the Legion.

This is what it's all about! <3

Thanks for the suggestions - we're really hoping to print ours as we have a printer and it would be more satisfying that way. Might start with Delphius's staff on Thingiverse, but I think I agree that 1" would be better, and there seem to be other tweaks we'd want to make. I can't ever seem to just print whatever someone else posts, I always seem to find things to mess with

Galacticat · Oct 8, 2016

And so it begins... Finally. This is how I spent the past several hours. So. Much. Taupe.

I'm getting close! I'm mainly torn on which fabric to use for the wrap. I know a lot of people have used the viscose from Dharma, but it seems so stiff to me, and has basically no texture. The JoAnn crinkle cotton isn't super accurate, but I like the drape a lot more. I considered ordering the crinkle viscose from the UK eBay seller but I've put so much damn money into this costume already... and still need to get a belt, too. :unsure
