Tusken Male premade kit needing advice

[LadyKnight33]

I purchased a completed Tusken Male Kit. I'm pretty certain I do not have everything I need for approval for the 501st, but perhaps the Rebel Legion. 

Items I have:

Helmet, Belt x1, Outer robe, inner robe, cumberbun belt,  pants, gloves, boots, beathing piece, gaffie stick.

The pants provided to me were an orange dickies pair, which is why i'm leaning to this being from the Rebel legion. But I had a pair of brown crotchless pants laying around from some other random purchase of interesting clothing and that's the one I have pictured.

The questions I have: 

What pieces would I need to aquire for the 501st approval. (probably the belts)

Is the Helmet ready for the 501st?

HOW best would this be worn? the outer robe left loose? or closed? It is long on me. I'll get photos with the costume on as soon as I can.

Hi and welcome!

Unfortunately I cannot see the images you have on your link, so I can’t help advise on what you currently have.

There are also many Tusken types. I am going to assume you are talking about the ANH Tusken or AotC Tusken.

Let us know which Tusken type you have and we can help further but hopefully these links will help you understand what you need [emoji4]

Not sure why imgur is having issues. changed it to public. It looks like I'm aiming for the AotC version.

Your helmet is missing the leather wraps around the snout, so it is not 501st-ready.  It could possibly use a little more weathering.

We will need to see the robes unfolded to check their seams and weathering.

Otherwise, you're missing the arm wraps and chest bandoliers.

[Nezhdanov]

I can’t see the images, I used to be able to see images from imagur but there must have been a policy change?

Anyway, if it’s AotC there shouldn’t be a breather like this that goes around the neck. This is a ANH thing.

In the image below is a ANH breather, AotC doesn’t have one.



These are examples of AotC Tuskens.

The head wraps are glued down more than the ANH Tusken.

There is a thick neck wrap for AotC compared to ANH.

You will need one Bandolier worn across the chest or around the waist. The second image gives an idea of the type of bandoliers needed.

The robes should be loose fitting as seen in the images.

The second image shows the arm wraps quite well but the sitting AotC Tusken is wearing the robe differently, covering most of the arm wraps.







It’s a bit difficult to advise when I can’t see your images but hopefully these images will help. The AotC crl will help as a guide also [emoji4]

LadyKnight33 If I can see the images, perhaps you could try inserting the URL in the box that says OTHER MATERIAL so that the photo appears directly without having to click the link. Another option is to change your hosting provider, like imgBB; I'm currently using it and it works well.

Is this on your phone or the PC? 
Working fine for me on both. They block VPN connections for some reason so you'll have to turn that off if you're using one.

I think it’s a region thing, i get the message…

I have accessed imagur images from peoples threads in the past so it must be a fairly recent thing.

What type of Tusken are you going for? 

If ANH you'll need 3 belts in total. 

I'm guessing those two sleeve things are for the arm wraps? If so you'll need to wrap those in the same material as the helmet. 
The helmet you have needs wrapping on the mouth bit as mentioned before as well as weathering. 
The trousers which you'll probably never see if the boots are tall and the robe is done right are supposed to be tan or brown pants. 

If the inner robe is too long that won't be an issue to fix, just trim it slowly from the bottom until your feet poke out from underneath.

Oups, sorry I didn't see that you were going for AOTC version. 

So you'll need one more belt, neck wrapping if it's not included and just inner robe as well as the leather nose wrap and arm wrappings. But if you have the outer robe you could also go for the ANH version if you wanted to.

Didn't know Imgur started blocking UK! That's crazy.

I was surprised too as I had been able to in the past? [emoji4]

Apparently it's the new online safety act. :/

Want me to upload the OPs pictures to these site? You should be able to see them.

Do the links I posted work?

Thanks, I can see those now [emoji4]

Ok, so I have had a look at the images and I think this originally would have been an ANH Tusken with a few bits missing and incomplete.

There are positives and negatives to either completing this as ANH Tusken or completing as AotC Tusken.

I personally feel it would be easier to turn this into a complete ANH Tusken as it would require less work but will have a few costs.

Let’s start with the ANH costs you would need to complete the costume.

First, there needs to be three bandoliers for the ANH Tusken (you don’t need three bandoliers for AotC). The prices will vary depending what type of bandolier you go for. The good news is that military surplus or new recreations of bandoliers can be found and quite a few people still make bandoliers that would suit the costume. The other good news is that you can mix and match a little so there is some leeway in what to get. The crl linked here has a section on bandoliers and the types that are suitable.

https://crls.501st.com/kc/tusken-raider

The second ANH cost would be some leather or leather like material to wrap around the mouth area (this also would be required for AotC).



The leather or leather like material should look like this image below.



On your head there is head wrap material in between the eyes and the tusks, this should be leather or leather like material as in the image below.



If you got a bit of bull denim material, you could wrap some looser head wraps around the head you have as the ones you have are a little tight for ANH. Just one or two wraps should do to loosen the look.



The ANH head wraps should be more loose as in the image below.


If it were me, I would try to redo the folds into the mouth area as the head you have doesn’t have many.



It should look more like this image below (this would be similar with AotC).



You could check with your local garrison if they would be ok with your mouth folds as they are.

The breather you have should be fine (see above image for comparison). Your boots should also be fine. Without seeing the robes being worn I will tentatively say they should be ok but I can’t be certain.

If this image below is your waist sash, it may be too dark. This might be able to be covered up with a waist bandolier so the colour difference could be resolved that way.



I can’t really see your arm wraps or gloves but they should look more like this image below.



Another view of the type of ANH gloves needed.



I think you could get your costume up to a good ANH Tusken standard but would require some work and more bandoliers.

See what you think you would like to do and hope this helps [emoji4]
