Inflatable PORG - Darth (Sian) Cooper Build - Darth Cooper - Tuesday 14-Nov-2017 Hi all, Over the past few months I have been working with a company based down in Melbourne that manufactures custom inflatables. As a lover of Porgs (apparently they taste like chicken), I am now in the final stages of creating a custom inflatable Porg costume. This inflatable will sit at approximately 190cm in height and feature a battery operated internal fan. It is made from a durable polyester material which will be fully colour printed. Below is an example of the latest 3D model the design team and I have been working on. Please note that a texture/gradient still needs to be applied to the colour to add a 'feathering' effect. The added texture makes a significant difference to the overall appearance of the design. In terms of the feet, I have invested in a pair of caricature chicken feet slippers. Inflatable feet were unable to be manufactured at risk of the material rubbing against the ground and creating holes/tears. The wings have arm holes that will allow me to move the wings up and down ever so slightly. Overall I was very limited with what I could achieve with an inflatable design, particularly in terms of the shape of the body and head, however I think that the end design is coming together rather well. Fingers crossed this should be manufactured and shipped in time for The Last Jedi AU release date. Clearly such a design will never be 501st approved, but this could potentially make a cute mascot to hang around future event setups. I'm sure that the kids will get a kick out of it... and that's the main thing.

The Knights of Porg need this RE: Inflatable PORG - Darth (Sian) Cooper Build - Darth Cooper - Thursday 16-Nov-2017 Below is an updated version of the 3D inflatable design with colour. Once again, how this appears on screen will differ to the final product. I cannot make the body of this any larger as the internal fan will be ineffective and not powerful enough to blow up the entire costume. Ultimately I think this is the version that will end up in production... then I'll have to keep my fingers crossed that it all turns out ok!!
