Pinning this 

[M.J.]

I’ve started this in open area, if anyone wishes to start a write up, you’re more than welcome.

You start by using the Tusken CRL as a template and go from there.

we are still hashing details on other threads, please use those. This is confirmed information. 

When we start please speak up, if a fabric is known by a different name. If you see items we missed etc

This CRL is for everyone to contribute not just those making it. Though please no guessing in this thread, we have other threads with assumptions.

If you have confirmed items please post up photos.

please no submissions of costumes in this thread.

I think that’s it…..let’s get this Warrior up and running 

EDIT:

I've started on the Helmet, please if you have any corrections or adding please let us know

The Crl say eye stalks have slots but I can never see any on bobf . The eye stalks looks way shorter than regular Tuskens and no slits .

[M.J.]

Good catch Melissa, I remember many moons ago thinking the same thing. 

I just added aswell the tapper part of the cheek is level with the eye slot. I noticed that when double checking. 

Does that sound ok as well.?

[Mother of Jawas]

The eye stalks are shorter, don't taper, and don't have slits in them

The snout is also shorter on this tribe of tusken. 

There's a random "ribbon" of some sort coming from the top of the head with white dots in a pattern on it.

This is a photo I found and what I used for mine. I used a black ribbon and used double sided tape to attach to both sides.

[M.J.]

so sorry Diana, I've posted above of what I had. 

We are still trying to retrieve our information from the host site.

We don't have Undersuit: Tunic, gloves and shawl.

From memory I wrote up the gloves.

post photos and we can go from there

[Heavy]

I have all the pics on my computer, hopefully we can rewrite the CRL by memory together. 

So sad that this has happend, but we are working as fast as we can and our webteam are amazing

So glad you had the photos! You guys are amazing! I was so happy to look at the forum this morning to see this. Thanks! If you need my help with anything else, just let me know. 

[M.J.]

Diana I’m so sorry but the beads, I nearly died when I realised I didn’t have that info, can you please rewrite that again? 
You did such a good job the first time and I meant to take a photo as I’m going to copy it when I build it.
We never saw this coming and if we did couldn’t do anything it was a third party. Though we are no taking action it won’t happen again.

OK, there it is. I'm glad I still had my notes. So now I hope that its all good.

[Nezhdanov]

I’ve had a look through the bead description along with the bead image and it makes sense to me and you can spot the elements mentioned in the text easily enough.

Only a slight issue is on the image of just the beads, one of the long copper beads on the left has been cropped but is seen in the other images so not a big deal but thought I’d mention it.

I’ve backed up the 30 or so crl images posted recently in original format onto my phone so they can live with the other hundreds of Tusken images so hopefully there are plenty of back ups!

Looking through the images again reminded me of just how much great work went into this costume, it’s great to see!

I’ve also backed up 25 reference images from the series, exhibition and jewellery images that have been posted on different threads for this costume [emoji4] I hadn’t done that before now so I think I’ve got all the Tusken variants including some of the BoBF ‘kid’. Should we ever need them!

Thank you soo much Diana, I'll add it .

Can you do the garments too 

[DesertWarriorDiana]

OK, here goes...

The underdress

• A black, one piece heavier weight fabric underdress has long sleeves, a round neckline and is approximately ankle length.

•There is a slit on the left side from the bottom to the waistline seam.

•Heavy weathering overall, including diagonal lines and spots on the top half of the underdress as shown in photos. 

 

Pants

• Heavily weathered strips of black gauze-like fabric wraps around the legs and all over the pants. 

 

Armwraps 

• Heavily weathered strips of black gauze-like fabric wraps around arms,  completely covering from wrist to under shoulder shawl. 

 

Shoulder Shawl 

• Shawl has heavily weathered horizontal strips of heavy black fabric. 

• A slightly curved reddish colored fabric piece is in the middle,  from the neckline to the bottom of the shawl.

• It is long enough in the front to allow space to see details on the underdress.

•  Shawl is longer in the back. 

• The shawl is snug on the shoulders.

(I wasn't sure if it needs to be included but also, do we include that there is some specific weathering on some of the strips?)

 

Obi

• Black fabric obi, approximately just wider than the belt,  has a channel on the bottom for the chain that the beads appear to hang from.

 

Boots

• Heavily weathered strips of tan/brown fabric cover flat bottom boots that are approximately mid-calf tall.

 

I hope I got it all. I hope it sounds good.

[M.J.]

I just copied that and take a look this evening.

Diana you're champion doing this again. Mind you I could dong myself for not saving the first time but we didn't predict the stupid Host site

[Nezhdanov]

I was going to screen shot the whole crl thread so I could advise better on what all the names of the materials and elements were so I can advise better on my garrison if someone wanted to do the costume. I didn’t get round to it but hindsight can be a bit harsh [emoji4]
