AT-AT Pilot Pipes

[FB Trooper]

Was wondering if anyone has any advice on what to use for these. I'm talking about the pipes on the AT-AT Pilot costume that run from the Helmet to the chest box!

I currently have washing machine drainage pipe but it seems a little thin. Anyone else got any better ideas or links to where i may get something better?

Bear in mind i am based in the UK so any links to sites outside of the UK would have to be able to ship abroad.

Thanks in advance guys for any and all help you may be able to offer :thumbsup

i used the washing machine drain hoses, for lack of a better solution.

i've seen plenty of vacuum cleaners with hoses that looked great, but they have been expensive... $100+ per hose, since they have all the electronics in them for the machines.

i haven't gone so far as trying to track down a hose manufacturer.

If the problems that they're too flimsy just run a stiffer hose inside them or do you mean thin as in diameter ?

Yeah the diameter of the hose is the problem. They are perfect when it comes to flexibility.

The pic below is of what i have, just not wide enough

I thought of him, but after reading his thread on the costume i noticed that he used the pipes from a hair-dryer. So unless i can find 2 of the same hair-dryer i don't think it's going to work. Thanks for the suggestion though :thumbsup
