Looking at ordering some soft parts such as flight suit and vest. Has anyone ordered from cucblack? How are they?

Depends what you need them for.... As far as being accurate... theyre not. I'd go with Arkady

I’m not really going for 100% accuracy, just something good enough with a pretty quick turnaround time. I want to order from arkady but she’s pretty booked like 6 months out. As long as it’s decently accurate with good figment and material

I wouldnt call it decently accurate.... it looks like bobas flight suit from 20 ft away.... but I wouldnt say its accurate other then it resembles it. I recommend Arkady who is a great member to deal with. 6 months in this game is nothing

He had a horrible reputation on the scout boards years ago. People seem to like him again but I would never recommend anyone ordering from him.

People *LOVE* cheap and fast. Cheap/free/fast etc will build you a nice collection of supporters until that reputation catches up.

I have a flightsuit and vest from him. I ordered it back when I had no idea about anything. Not terrible at all, but I had a few issues with it.

Colour on the ROTJ jumpsuit was too grey. I spent a lot of time bleaching it and leaving it in the sun. The wrists and ankles have zips instead of straps.

Vest neck to shoulder was a little wide on mine which leaves the shoulder armour drooping too low.

Awaiting Clothears suit and vest. Wish I’d have gone with them from the start.

I am going for Level 2 ROTJ. I just placed an order with Arkady yesterday. Although I don't have it yet, like you said, 6 months out, she is a pleasure to deal with. The photos she has on facebook of her work are amazing.

Can you post some pics of the soft parts?

I’m not going for 501st approval so I’m looking for something that’a a lower price and I won’t get ripped off or anything

 

[01Hawk]

My personal experience was everything didn’t fit ... not even close on my scout stuff.

Arkady is worth the wait and the price is much more than reasonable. Buy cheap, buy twice.

Dark grey was colour on arrival with the Cucblack/KriptonTop vest. Light grey was after bleaching with Bobamaker vest/neck.

These are a few years old....but yeh the suit didnt fit very well, the vest wasnt anywhere close to accurate.... it basically was a short sleeve shirt!

Fett 4 Real...yikes.
