teh1337bucks Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Hi all! My name is Justin and I live in Ramona, looking to become a member of the 501st to participate in some great volunteer opportunities, and get to have a lot of fun while I'm at it. I am currently working on a costume (darth maul) and I'm finding it hard to find all the little things I need to get 501st approved. I bought a robe and belt off of Jedi Robes America and I'm just buying the rest of the pieces one at a time with each paycheck. I'm hoping to have everything finished by the episode 7 premier. If anybody has any tips or info to get some of the pieces for a deal, any and all help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks everyone and I hope to be serving with you all soon!

I'm still doing a lot of research for my Darth Maul costume, if I come across anything you need I can send it your way.

Impatience Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Right now I'm doing a lot of trimming on my TK. Once I get that done I'll be hitting up garrison folks to help with sizing. Then hopefully I can have a little E6000 party with me and a few beers and I can bust this thing out. Still have quite a few soft parts to get, but that just means I have to get off my lazy duff and start looking (under suit, belt, balaclava, etc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overlander Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Welcome, Justin! We are having a garrison armor party / meeting this Sunday afternoon at our Lesley and Paul Farquhar's house in Lakeside, if you are available. Paul is a Darth Maul, so he would be a great resource. You can message Lesley at "BrieKalan2" for details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk Welcome Justin! We do have 1 possibly 2 armor parties going in November. I helped my husband make all his Darth Maul items. The hardest thing to source are the boots! The original ones Ray Park wore are no longer available but there are some good substitutes out there. Have you gotten onto the Sith Lord Detachment forums yet? They have an entire forum section devoted to Darth Maul! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teh1337bucks Posted October 9, 2015 Author Share Posted October 9, 2015 I haven't gone onto the forums yet, but I have been looking at the 501st costume reference page, the biggest issue I'm having is the lightsaber. I would like one without blades that doesn't cost me an arm and a leg haha. I'll go ask the DSL forum and see what I can find Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amidala Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Hello! Maul saber huh?! I love maul! Uhh all crls are different. Mine doesn't have a blade on my Pre-Armor vader. I don't have a lightsaber on my palpatine. But I do have a saber on my Starkiller. My recommendation is to ask on the sithlord forums. Second you could also ask the lovely GML who can also answer that I'll be honest I've never seen a mail without the blades Sent from my XT1060 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stutz Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Welcome Justin! Yes, PLEASE head over to the Sith Lord Detachment: http://forum.501stsithlords.com http://forum.501stsithlords.com/index.php?showforum=7 That's the best resource for all the information you need to complete your Maul to 501st standards. And I highly recommend starting a WIP (work-in-progress) thread. There are a lot of folks there who have travelled this road before you, and they will be a great resource in helping you get approved with as few hiccups as possible.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk Some Hasbro sabers are approvable, but for Maul--they want the brushed aluminum/metal. The old master replicas sabers that are the best models are still found on ebay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
