AT-AT Driver Costume Construction

[Lupus Yonderboy]

Very nice.
If you decide to go ahead and make a couple, I'd definitely be interested.

Clutch........ Your suit is looking sharp. Keep up the great work.

I was looking through the Chronicles and noticed the hose hookups on 4-lom. Could these be a distant cousin to the at-at driver tusks?

 

[Clutch]

Small update. Got the chest armor pretty much the way I want it. The front and back connect at the shoulders via 2 nylon straps. They are velcroed on the chestplate and snap on the backplate. The ribbed plastic pieces are held down with flat nylon cord like a stormtrooper's.

Two black elastic straps hold the sides together and I put two snaps in the front of the jumpsuit that snap into the chestplate to keep it from riding up.

The ejection straps are velcroed to the back and front armor. I was too afraid to make them snap attachments at this point because velcro has a bit of play to it.

Up next: attaching the shoulder bells and chestbox.

I took this picture standing in front of a mirror. I then flip-flopped the image and digitally removed the camera.

Opinions anyone? Here we have two different sizes of commpad on two different style gloves. One commpad is scaled down 80%. Which one looks better? Or do both look off?

Bigger, mo' betta. :thumbsup

 

[WookieeGunner]

From a Rebel pilot a suggestion. Leave the straps velcro'd. The first time they get caught on something and rip free instead of tripping you up, you'll be glad you did.

 

[OldKen]

hard to tell the exact size, but the larger one is DEFFINATELY closer.

 

[jimbobond]

The larger is the best and I'm deff up for one if you go ahead and mke them

 

[stormtrooperguy]

i think the larger looks better. and if you happen to have some spare resin, i'm sure my wife would love one

Look at what just came in the mail.

If there's enough interest, I'll get some cast.

i've been itching for some of these since i started on the at-at helmet a while ago. i'd love a pair.

 

[Moore3160]

I put together an AT-AT in 2003 put alot of work into it. The hoses were hard to find I went to all the used vacume clear shops till I found the right hoses. In 2005 I sold my suit :cry WHY :cry What was I thinking.
Seeing your suit brings a tear to my eye.
:angry Now I know. Mush build new AT-AT suit.

That suit looks great.
Of all the costumes/helmets in SW, the AT-AT pilot is my favorite.
Group project anyone?

Group project would be a great idea. What do you have in mind?

I constantly look for the helmet greeblies (with only a wee bit of success )

Not trying to take anything away from Clutch's excellent costuming thread maybe if a group of us are interested in finding the suit / helmet greeblies then we should start a new thread and bounce a few ideas off each other and see if we can find any more of them? I have an idea of what a few are but just can't find them.

Anyone interested http://www.therpf.com/index.php?showtopic=115890

Let see if we can't finally find these.

Cheers Chris.

i'd love to improve our AT-AT gear here. ours is not at all accurate, and i'd really like it to be.

I would be interested in a set if you cast these Clutch.

Ok, Firespray, I'll add you to the list in the JY. Thanks.
