a big fan of this little 90s series
anyways - thanks to Dan and Rook over on sci fi heroes for resources and replicas, I have been slowly building and collecting parts for a build.

my replica of Paul"Joker" Wang's helmet is here - http://www.therpf.com/f9/show-off-saab-paul-joker-wang-flight-helmet-replica-208090/

completed ground pounder

with the correct hockey armour

screen used M590

I actually own a screen used set of flight armour from Ep1-3; but it really is small

so I fd the original base motorcross armour

and modded it to match the armour seen in the remainder of season 1

my replica

completed with heroic pose!

my replica costume of the SAAB pilot

Sweet! I've got one of the helmet kits (still unfinished). I was gonna get the rifle a long time ago, but that got delayed. The only place I could find the proper chest protector was from some motocross shop in the UK. And they had NO interest in shipping it to the states. (Really? I'll like pay you guys. With money. To purchase it. And to ship it. Isn't that what stores wanna do? Sell stuff? Ridiculous.)

Very cool that you've got both uniforms, though! And the flight helmet looks great, too!

Very nice. I really liked this show, so there are more of us around. The SAAB pilot gear has been on my to do list for quite some time. I'm still looking for the motocross armor myself. I plan on doing a helmet conversion using a motorcycle helmet I have as a base. I think it will work well, however this is a ways down my list right now with too many other projects ahead of it.

I thought I was the only person left in the UK who cared for this show and had a kit. I've mostly completed a pilot's rig (using generic British markings based on the one "Brit" walking past in the background in one scene). Suit was easy, armour turned up locally on Freecycle and I had a helmet made for me. One day I'll find a couple of like-minded types to meet up with and intimidate the 501st!

You are not alone Diver71, there are a few SAAB fans in the UK.

I have a small SAAB site, I am currently working on updating the pictures.
