Templars Kylo Build Version 1

I have been an active member of the Facebook group "The Knights of Ren" for a while and was able to build a Kylo with the great advice and examples from my fellow members. My target date was Dragon Con to march in the parade next to the TFA Troopers. I made my deadline and was very happy with the build. I have trooped it three times but it is currently in the shop for upgrades. I will have two versions once the seamstress finishes my new outer robes and an adjustment to the sleeves. I plan on posting some good pics of my second hood build to show how I got the wire and snaps in. Here is a rough break down with some pics:

Version 1
Outer Robe - Tan basket weave blanket dyed black. Did not get dark black but good enough for the parade. Sewn by seamstress
Pants - Metallic jeans black
Boots - Fantasma Jedi boots
Gloves - Run 1 of John's customer leather gloves
Under tunic - Black cotton sewn into pleats by seamstress
Belt - Hampton Jedi
Buckle - JJ Industries
Clip - Shapeways (JJ Industries)
Bucket - Wicked Armor #7 of the first run
Hood - Hand sewn by me using wire support frame
Cape/Scarf - Hand sewn by me using snaps that attach the hood, scarf, and cape to the robe in one piece allowing me to put it on after robes are put on.

Version 2
Outer Robe - JJ Industries fabric sewn by seamstress using V1 as template with a few size adjustments.
Under Tunic - Sleeves have been removed and attached to under armor to wear under tunic. Make it easy to put on and more flexible.
Boots - Crow Props first run #15

Sabers
3D printed hilt to wear attached to belt for troops (Painted by W. Staggs)
Ultra Saber Tri hilt (used during parade, bad idea, looked terrible in the light) Have since built a day blade insert for main blade and side icicles.
FX Saber. Great item but rounded tips and smooth blade will be customized

Here are some V1 pics

Wow, saw some of these pics earlier,amazing job!

Great work !

Looks awesome!!

AMAZING!!

You really did a great work. Awesome looking costume!

Fabric from JJ Industries arrived. I built new outer robes and redid the hood,scarf and cape. I also reworked the neck seal to be more accurate. Ran all the upgrades past my GML and I am good to go. Here are some building pics and from a troop at the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra tribute to John Williams.

Wow this is amazing! Have you ever been open to doing commission work? I'd love to have something like this but unfortunately lack the skills..

Looks fantastic! Can you tell us how you created the blades on the saber?
