Showoff: My Rogue One Blue Leader General Merrick Costume

I recently completed a replica of General Merrick’s Blue Leader costume from Rogue One which I debuted at Toronto Fan Expo.




I scratch-built the flight suit with a teal fabric, fully lined to give it the puffiness.




The commpad was 3D printed by someone else, painted by me



Chest box made by Darth Hair, painted by me



Leg flares were 3D printed by someone else. I made the holder. These are the same as the flares used in TFA



The flak vest was made by a friend of mine for an ANH pilot costume. I did some tweaking on it, including weathering it more beige, shortening the shoulder straps, and changing the under arm closures. I plan to redo this in a few weeks to make it more accurate, as there are a few differences between the R1 vest and the ANH one.



Harness was made from pleated elastic I found online and dyed grey



The belt is the same roll-pin military belt used on the TFA pilots, with added silver webbing loops and air hose connector "mini flares."

The helmet was made by Darth Hair, painted by me




I have a more detailed build thread on the Rebel Legion forum, for anyone wanting additional information or images:

Amazing work as always my friend! It honestly looks like you stole it right off of the set.
