Starting on this build even though the CRLs aren’t out yet. I’m working towards being as canon as possible. I’ve got a belt from BritishPixieCreations and the armor will be coming in sometime in June by StardustArg. I also have what I believe are the correct boots, which is a story to be posted as I get closer to the finish line.
Black series Lightsaber:
I’m assuming I need to get rid of these markings. Does anyone have a good technique without ruining it?
I’m having a difficult time with the flightsuit.
The entire show has color filters over it. Any screencap I’ve grabbed has to be altered just to see what she’s wearing because it’s so dark. Which then means all the colors are skewed. So I’m going to use the official promo photos:
The lighting seems to be more natural here. Also shows off her paneling. It’s a darker brown than the rest of the flightsuit. The Hot Toys version is black.
But it’s not as black as her turtleneck in the official photos so I’m pretty positive it’s not black. It’s most visible between her legs.
But I'm not sure if it's just a darker brown, a dark grey, or a lighter black? But it's definitely darker than her flightsuit brown. And stretchy.
Anyway, back to the main part of the flightsuit. I bought a pattern from UniverseSupplyCo which needs to be modified, but in her instructions, she says she spoke with someone who worked on Ahsoka and the flightsuit color is actually more similar to a Din Djarin brown. What is the brown for Din?
Anyway, here are my fabric swatches. I have a Pixel so it did lighten the fabric just a tad, but I think it's pretty close to the real color. The smaller swatches are canvas and the big swatch is a cotton twill.
Morning sun:
Evening sun:
Placing the photos next to the promo images, it looks like the smallest dark brown is close, but it also looks like the larger twill is close too? Help?
Also cannot tell which wig color is better but I think it's the right plum one. What do you think?:
To summarize:
1. How do I remove the symbols on the lightsaber without ruining it?
2. What color is the flightsuit paneling?
3. What color fabric swatch is best (and do I need a different color)?
4. Which wig is closest (not too many wig options out there so I might be limited with choices)?
