So, no RPF love for the new pilot, Poe Dameron?

Mperor · Nov 20, 2015

Hi Guy's,

I'm the 'new one' just hitting this thread.
Awesome references collected here!

About Nomex, found something:

Meta Aramid (Nomex) Fabric
Component: 100% meta-aramid fiber
Weight: 60-250g/sqm

The orange one looks quite nice , maybe the structure is a bit rough...

On the Helmet question: I will try to work with a Motorcycle base for a prototype:
Kochmann Redbike RB-850 pilot helmet
Basic shape quite good, including the back.neck partition, but needs adapting the helmet base such as the 'ears' and the mowhawk.
It suits well to add the oversize visor shield.

Best thing, the price: about 99€ ( about 105*USD)

Have a safe flight

That is a really great budget option! I just got my SPH-4 in yesterday and plan on getting started this weekend. For the black "ear rings,'' i found these motorcycle speedometer covers that will do nicely with minimal modding:

New tv spot with more pilots but not much detail.

It's getting there (it's flipped in the mirror)...

Finally finished my scratchbuild chestbox. Now I can start with the rest=)

I don't think I found it but I think the bezel idea for the side of the helmet is really close. I looked up air craft bezel and found this on ebay

This is coming along great! What technique are you using for the rectangles?

Hofpig · Nov 24, 2015

Hi Guy's, A few weeks back I ordered a big chunk of the bits I will need for my costume. Today I had a knock at the door(the postman) and I had two packages. This was a good thing, by the feel 1 was the pair of boots I had ordered(not an exact match but will do) and the other was a mystery until I opened it. The other large yellow package was the arm/collar trim from the Etsy place via South Korea(the same as the boots.). It always amazes me that I can order stuff from practically the other side of the planet and I have no problems but if I order in my own country I end up with days of nasty emails and arguments over the colour a belt actually is. Long story short PLCE belts shown on Ebay 1st lot pic showed tan/desert but were actually green. 2nd lot have been sent green supplier admits it is there mistake but refuses to send the correct ones out until they get the others back(understandable really) despite I have send them proof that they have been sent. Anyway I now have most of the parts I need to start mine off. 2 x orange boiler suits to bash into the flight suit enough webbing to lift a small car and the boots, gloves and my control box has been printed(just awaiting arrival on that puppy), so maybe I aught to get started?

According to the article, Poe's blaster is called an "Eirriss Ryloth Defense Tech Glie-44 blaster pistol."

Well, I've made a start on the cowl to fit an airsoft P226. Finally, I can dig into some TFA prop making.

Looks pretty good any plans to sell kits?

Thanks! (And yes kits will be available. There's a thread in the classifieds so please keep any talk of runs there.) I'm currently waiting for a Sig Sauer to come in but in the meantime I've got a resin casting of a P226 to build around. I'll post any progress shots along the way.

New pic of Poe from Empire Magazine. I am sure these are making the rounds.

Hofpig · Nov 25, 2015

JOATRASH FX · Nov 25, 2015

Another w-i-p. Looks like my full metal airsoft P226 came in, so I might pick that up tomorrow.

Are the collar attachments magnets??
I have tried the "normal" hook-in-loop (3 of them, here I see four...) and that is NOT practical if you suit up yourself...
But strong magnets would make more sense.... Any takers on this??

Adding some updates on my overall build

Here is a completed flight suit V2, with redesigned chaps and pockets based on the display costume in NYC

Pen Loops

Glasses Loop

Base of the vest

Back of the vest

Eirriss Ryloth Defense Tech Glie-44 blaster pistol, the very best there is. When you absolutely, positively, got to kill every first order trooper in the room; accept no substitutes.

Mperor · Nov 30, 2015

how can I get my hands on one of those blaster beauties?

oh about the flightsuit:
Great job!

constructive comments:
- Your color looks a bit too 'red' on the pictures, it should be more a very dirty orange, goi'n into red.
The pockets on the original costume, especially the one on it's hips (on the outside) are very wide, and form worn out bulky pockets.

The fabric structure you use is pretty cool, looks like the good texture to me

all together a very good job!!!

By the way (this is an insider)
I had the pleasure to see and handle some of the screen used costumes on an internal event in Denver, the one of Poe was there too, together with Rey's and others.I have checked the label in the original Poe suit, they are definitely made by Bermans & Nathans in London, same as the original suits for Luke.
So, special produced for TFA, it's not a common stock item.

Greetings,

Stef

The fabric looks way more red in the pics, blame my crappy basement lighting and iphone aperture. It is decidedly more orange in person. Here is a better pic for comparison.

I used a poly double knit, doubled up for the fabric the weave seemed close to the suit. It is very soft and I will probably use it to line future cordura suits.

As for the pockets, I compared measurements, based off identified parts to calc out dimensions. The shin pockets may look smaller here as that particular suit is an XL for a friend, the pockets were measured from the smaller Jessica Pava suit on display in NYC and the Poe reference pics and probably look more to scale on my medium suit.

The blasters were from AprilStormProps on Etsy

I did a quick'n'rough test-print just to check some of the details and the fit. (I had to make more room inside for the Sig Sauer.) The final print will probably have the lower mesh box as a separate piece. It's a tricky one to print because there are undercuts that you barely notice (such as under the mesh box) but that need to be there if it's going to be close to screen accurate.

So, no RPF love for the new pilot, Poe Dameron?
