Always loved the 40k universe and decided to make my own little costume. Decided to make it more "reserved" than other commissar outfits though. Looking at it I think it came out good but will need to tinker with it more till NYCC 2013. Well here's how it is so far!

The hat is off center? Maybe I don't notice because I'm laying down.

Looks good. [S]just wear the hat down over your eye[/S]

That's a problem though lol. There are many commissars in the 40k realm. Can say each planet has there own versions of what a commissar would/should be.

Hmm maybe use some gold pastel paint on the edges of the shoulder guards to add some detail and the sash it seems is missing gold too but looks really good

That's the thing though. I chose not to add any gold. :P
There are other commissars that chose not to have much red . Or ones that were blue and black. Then there are the Cadian commissars. Commissar Yarick. There is no real "correct" commissar.

Was just a IDea meant the highlights on the shoulder cuz then theyd stand out a bit more they seem to blend in to the suit color to well and dont stand out
