Darth Revan: Work in Progress Update: 4/09/13Darth Revan is shaping up into quite a good looking figure so far; no real major issues yet (knock on wood!) and should be complete in a few more weeks. As you all can see, the cape is completed, and the lower body robes are all but finished, besides some last minute additions I have planned out. The center red robe is a piece of plastic cape cut down to size, shaved in back for a smoother fit, and glued into the top belt for stability. I went with a blood red tone, a mix of guards red and british crimson. The cape is hand cut and hemmed at the neck; it took me about three capes worth of work before this one did the job. Most of the time spent on making the cape was devising a method of attaching it to the figure,and cutting and fitting patterns out of paper to get the right proportion to the figure. The magnetic shoulder armor really helps with the lay of the cape, and also provides a pinch point which can be used to pose the cape at the shoulder. I had planned on sewing a wire into the bottom so the cape could be posed around the figure's legs, but found it was unnecessary and decided to leave it out of the final cape.
This will probably be the last work in progress photos I will post before the final reveal in a few weeks. Stay tuned for "Darth Revan: Dark Lord of the Sith, Sith Wars Edition"!
