According to the CRL, they should be ok, but I'm sure someone with a bit more experience would know better than me.

I was wondering about bucket paint. I was interested in painting my DP with a semi metallic, is this allowed? Nothing extreme, but just a little different. I guess I am simply asking if I would be allowed to use a paint I choose as long as it matches the robes for a ROTJ RG?

I used Tamiya Color Chrome Silver X-11 Acrylic paint. (I hate Enamel paint)
The clear coat was a acrylic high gloss varnish. ANY varnish or clear coat on rub 'n buff (that I know of) will ruin the shiny coating.
Mine is still kind of dull, but I think is it much better than having my $150 outer robe ...

I finished my first Force Pike today. Started off using Rub n' Buff but it would not stop rubbing off even after a day and a half of buffing. So I painted it with metallic paint and gave it a clear coat. It is all one piece, but sturdy.

What is the main difference between ROTJ and AOTC guard robes? I am looking for a visual for a pattern, even if just a sketch to base a robe off of. Everyone I ask just sends me in circles...can ANYONE draw up a picture of the few parts to the ...

I figured as much, the bucket looks amazing (I'll most likely buy one if and when you do a run) I always give big respect for people being the pioneer of a new build.

That looks great, I was thinking of doing the same thing for mine but using something a little different for the emitter to give it that spiked look. Did you use paint or rub and buff?

That helmet looks amazing. For the paint were you going to use that color or something with a more violet tone? From the reference pics they looks kind of like a blue/violet. Or is paint going to be up to the individual making the build?
