Hello,
I'm building a lifesize Tie Fighter Pilot and I need everything to complete it except:
Helmet, Chest and back armor, Chest box and hoses (all TE).
Could you please help me get quality screen accurate items?
Thanks.
 
Tandy Leather for the belt buckle blank. Sportsmans Guide sometimes has the jack boots as East German or Czech army surplus. Ebay has the boots too. Ebay has the gloves and sometimes the commpad. You can make code cylinders from chalk holders or pen lights. I got my 2" inch belt from Ebay already dyed black. Its a sword holder for rennasance ( excuse the spelling) costumes and needed to be shortened. Balaklava and neck seal from Ebay too. Aluminum helmet and buckle greeblies from elvistrooper.com Theres a guy on Ebay who makes top notch leather holsters for around $50 or $60.

My shoulder plates are crooked in this pic and I forgot to put on the commpad.

Can you post a picture of your belt buckle? I have a TIE helmet on the way, and while I wait, I'm gathering reference pics.

Thanks.
 
Here's what the ART OF STAR WARS exhibit mannequin and the MoM (small inset photo) exhibit mannequin looks like:

BTW code cylinders are something a lot of us add for fun, but they were not used on screen.
