I was thinking the same thing. I haven't found any buckles like them yet. They DO make 1 inch roll pin buckles, but the frame looks nothing like these. Right now, I'm just planning to use some rectangular frame sliders. But I'm keeping my eyes out for the proper buckle.
So, no RPF love for the new pilot, Poe Dameron?

I am sure the SPH-4 helmet where not used for the movie helmet.To much differences to the movie helmet. I think the designer where inspirit by this helmet but made a 3D model and print them out.

I was considering putting together one of these. But something tells me after the movie comes out, many prop makers and companies will start mass producing accessories, jumpsuits, flakvests, etc. for this costume. I think I'll just get the boots and gloves and let someone else do the heavy lifting 
I'll get the rest of the costume stuff later. I'm willing to wait a year or so. I have no desire to rush to be first. Oooooh look at me, look at me!!

I don't recall a group buy thread for hoses. Is this the thread: http://www.forum.rebellegion.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=801235#801235

Ditto, I feel the same way. I'll be collecting bits and pieces as I go-- things like the hose and stuff-- but for the flak vest and coveralls and such I'm sure people will be producing them sooner or later... I know that someone is even working on making the gloves, so those should be easier to find. I'll wait until things are more readily available, that's just fine with me.
Besides, I've got other projects to work on. Gotta finish my latest B-wing pilot costume, revamp my Jedi costume, finish my Palpatine and I'm also slowly working on a First Order TIE fighter pilot... XD

You guys may still need your costumes, but as least our bears are taken care of.

Cool, I didn't know anybody had modeled the chest box. Somebody mentioned on an earlier page that a Rebel Legion member had suggested a group buy of the hoses, I don't remember who it was and I don't have the time just now to dig through the thread for it.
Btw, for anybody in the US, I found a fantastic fabric for the flight suit at Jo-Ann fabrics. It's a 7 oz orange stretch denim. It's RN number is 13855960 if you plan to go looking for it. It's a slightly red orange and the weight is perfect, it's also a cotton/poly blend so it doesn't wrinkle as much as a cotton. It's not TOO stretchy, either, but it won't matter if you're flat lining the suit in a batting and inner lining like the original.

I got one of Gerry's chest boxes. It's 3 D printed, so requires some clean-up, but the quality is good, and it appear pretty accurate to my eye, but that is based on our relatively limited references, of course.

So my question is, what car model did they rip that seat out of? Look on top, looks like the holes where a head rest would slide into.

The attention to detail in these movies is amazing! And yes that translation is correct. It's written in Huttese.

I used that same fabric for my Flight suit. only problem now that I ran into last week, was that its going out of stock for the year. had to pick up a couple extra yards to finish up the chaps and ran all over town to get it, only one Joann had any near me within a reasonable distance, and the warehouse was out so I couldn't just order online.
