Title: 'Star Wars Room'
Post by: WEDGE ANTILLES on January 04, 2016, 09:24:45 PM

setting up my 'star wars room'.

a bit of a challenge, to decide whats worth displaying and what's not.

I ended up focusing on the 1:1 scale MR and EFX props.

(no room for mini-helmets or mini-sabers; no room for action figures or hasbro toys).

(gave these all to my daughter -- "star wars is for girls", afterall)  :angel:

^ spent some time on that last shot of Vader -- composed by hand, no cropping nor photoshop -- I'm quite proud of this shot.
(the 4 'life sized' photos on the shelf were taken at one of the LFL exhibits -- no photoshops here either)

^^ costumes are my own creations.  I've worn them in public.  Anakin is sporting "Museum Replicas" boots & belt; the rest is home made.
obi-wan has a belt from Claudio @ customprops + resin bits from a guy in the RL; the rest is home made. (including boot spats).

Looks great not too cluttered
Great display, man I wish I had the room to properly display my stuff!!

Great job

My jaw dropped! That is a super cool room!! So many stuff to just awe at! I have a Star Wars room as well but it consists more of vintage collectibles, a lightsaber, authentic poster, and cut out among other things. Really impressive room though, especially since they are home-made.

side note-- If you're ever thinking about selling any of your stuff just message me :) well done!

Nice room!!! I'm slowly "sneaking" items into my theater room so wife doesn't stroke out.

Did you make your own patterns for the costumes?

Title: Re: 'Star Wars Room'
Post by: WEDGE ANTILLES on March 24, 2016, 08:35:16 AM

yes I did.  the pattern looks something like this:
http://imageshack.com/a/img845/8121/02x7.png (http://imageshack.com/a/img845/8121/02x7.png)
(diagram is not drawn to scale).

the measurements shown in purple will result in a men's size 'large' tunic. (roughly size 44)
you'll need to adjust the numbers to fit your own frame -- the original purpose of this diagram was just to show how the pieces fit together -- again: this is NOT drawn to scale.

(also: the 'rear skirt' and 'elastic waistband' are optional features -- most people don't bother with this part -- http://imageshack.com/a/img198/393/5hgj.jpg (http://imageshack.com/a/img198/393/5hgj.jpg) )

enjoy.

[edit]

for the tabbards:

I don't have a pattern sketch, but you can extrapolate one from these pics:

Nice! Did you source the fabric locally? Or is there a place online that still has it?

Title: Re: 'Star Wars Room'
Post by: WEDGE ANTILLES on March 24, 2016, 08:59:38 AM

I got my fabric locally.  the anakin is garden-variety "crinkle cotton", this can be found anywhere.
 
the obi-wan was found in a bargain bin with no tags -- I have no idea what it is -- but it looks like this:

^^ (if you take these pics to your local fabric store, they might help you identify it).

the closest I can find online , is something like this:
Handwoven Natural Fabric (http://www.dharmatrading.com/fabric/cotton/handwoven-natural-fabric-55-inch.html?lnav=fabric_cotton.html)
(must be washed first, to give the obi-wan texture)

and this:  (same thing, but in a heavy-weight version)
Handspun Handwoven Natural Fabric (http://www.dharmatrading.com/fabric/handspun-handwoven-natural-fabric.html)

Quote

This heavyweight handspun natural colored fabric is just like our hot selling HNF handwoven fabric - but heavier. This one has a heavy coarse weave that has some slubs throughout the weave. After washing, this fabrication becomes very textured and crinkled. It will no longer have a flat weave surface after washing. This makes it great for those Star Wars costumers (we're thinking Obi Wan Kenobi or Yoda coats) and for anyone wanting a natural rustic looking fabric. Great for theater costumes or rustic home decor projects.

^^ on Rebel Legion they say this IS the screen-used fabric -- but I can't confirm this.

Nice, I'll have to post some pics of my man cave soon as it's finished.  About half of the room has Star Wars related stuff.  Lol it also spills into my office.  :cheesy:
