Re: TIE Pilot costume

Just got word from RA that my armor and box kit is on its way!:thumbsup

I have got the jumpsuit from costumebase, and its great! For the price I thought it was gonna have some problems, but none, its really nice, and Im very happy with it.

The cogs is the only bad thing with it, and I have already removed them, and will sew on the vinyl cogs instead.

Made a commpad. I went for the quick and dirty look. I made it flat as the originals. Its really tricky to get the amount of wonkyness right. The originals looked like crap. :lol

Re: TIE Pilot costume

Looking good, or should I say crappy on that commpad. Looking forward to seeing the RA stuff too.

For the belt I think the right belt might be the same as that used for Vader. Looking in to it at the minute, problem is that repros appear to be 5-7mm smaller than the real ones apparently. Still you may be able to find something nice along those lines and keep a hidden fastening.
 
Re: TIE Pilot costume

Except some small stuff, this is on hold until I get armor and box.

Re: TIE Pilot costume

Got the armor and box from Richie yesterday! The cardboard box
looked like it was runned over with a truck (thanks mr post man...).

Thank god the stuff was packed well and no damage was made to it... :-D

I got good and fast communication and it was made on the time given by RA.:thumbsup

Re: TIE Pilot costume

Done some work on the box and armor. The rotocast box plastic is really easy to work with, but leaves some serious dust. lol

Anyone know how the original armor and straps is constructed? Best alternatives?


Thanks for looking.

The new Sony Imperial 5000 megapixel... LOL!

IDK why that last pic just made me laugh.

In all seriousness though, that looks AWESOME Nazgul! Nice work!
 
I got nothing to add than a job well done and enjoy it man!!:):thumbsup
So....this is basic? i'll wait for another update for sure :D
 
I've completely missed this thread. Should teach me to check out this section more. That's an awesomely cool TIE pilot outfit you got there. Well done! :cheers
 
Thanks everyone! :cheers

Yeah the camera pic looks like some bizarre "Look I joined the imperial navy and got me a camera for it" comercial.:)

Truth is, taking a good pic on this without daylight is really tricky.
