Approvable and Non-Approvable Materials

Approvable Materials

  • Fiberglass

    Fiberglass is a composite material that is made up of very fine glass fibers.

    photo is only for example.

  • Resin - Cast or Printed

    Resin casting is a method of plastic casting where a mold is filled with a liquid synthetic resin, which then hardens.

    Resin printing lets artists 3D print high-quality objects that that they cannot get from filament-based fused deposition modeling (FDM) printers.

  • Metal - up to a certain gauge

    This will be on a case by case basis.

  • EVA Foam

    Ethylene-vinyl acetate foam is a versatile foam material with a closed cell structure. It is a great material for constructing different part of costumes and props.

  • ABS/PVC - Sintra Board or Styrene Board

    Sintra Board is an affordable, durable, lightweight and moisture resistant board that can be cut, routed, machines and heat-formed.

    Styrene Board is an easily machined and fabricated impact-resistant, versatile and economical plastic.

  • Filament - Printed

    Filament is one of the most common used materials to create costumes and props.

    If printing with filament - an effort must be made to smooth out all visible print lines. If you have questions, please contact your local armorer for best practices. Print lines in areas that are not visible, i.e. backsides of plates, overlapping areas, insides of helmets, do not need to be sanded. Un-sanded filament will be taken at a case by case basis.

Non-Approvable Materials and Motifs

  • Chainmail

    This is not approvable.

    photo is only for example.

  • Laces and zippers

    Laces and zippers should be hidden on the costume or kit. except where it is appropriate under the guise of the disability clause.

    photo is only for example.

  • Unmodified Tactical Gear

    Unmodified tactical gear will not be approved unless consistent with canon examples.

    photo is only for example.

  • Crossover Kits/Costumes

    Crossover kits or costume elements clearly depicting other ip’s outside of the star wars saga will not be approved.

  • Anthropomorphic Motifs

    While Rogues of Mandalore recognizes that the Star Wars Galaxy is home to vast alien species, Rogues of Mandalore aims to set parameters on differentiating from the fur suit community. As such, we will not approve anthropomorphic motifs and armor add-ons. Exceptions will be made for alien species, though significant efforts must be made to ensure consistency of presentation with that alien species.

    examples:
    Canon mask in conjunction with helmets
    Associated prosthetics
    Alien “gloves”
