No, I don't have any other tabbards, I just went to a seamstress and got a few strips of leather... it's really not too hard to make, just... bothersome.
All I did was use photos for reference on the length. I tried to make them as wide as the SST ones, as the width seemed correct (they taper a bit towards the ends).
And yes, he's still on the good ole' buck!
I like the buck for Anakin. He did look a bit lanky in ROTS, so after careful consideration I saw no need to beef him up with a TT. Also, the biggest impediment to the articulation is the ridiculous material Sideshow used for the boots. They are so frigging stiff it's a joke! The other thing is the lack of wrist articulation, and that is also independent of the body, so...
I do highly recommend making the pants slimmer and tightening the belt. Simple mods that can do wonders for the overall look.
The tabbards is a bit more time-consuming, but not that hard once you find the right leather. I didn't even have the proper tools, I just used a ruler, a pencil and scissors!
And thanks! I'm glad you like him!
The Anakin would need more work around the attachment area as I made the hole a bit on the big side but I think they look pretty cool ! The other plus is that it can be posed with the head looking down to look more menacing ! The hair also sits nicely behind the collar of the tunic too.
However, if you could blend the head more with the neck in the attachment area like the obi wan as you said, it will reach Perfection!
