Reposted from another thread:

Yup, the Richie's armor chestbox was $60 for the "kit". As nice as it was cheaper is good too.[] I was contemplating making one myself out of wood like a tutorial I saw, but being ABS already It'd save me some trouble in the painting.

I'm really thinking of making my own squares out of acrylic and doing some "fancy stuff" to make the the switches turn on EL sheet behind them. I think even the seasoned costumers would get a kick out of that. It'll be a warm-up for the helmet too. When I go down that road... functional it will have to be.[]

Here's the kit I bought:


Non-repost:
I happened to see this for sale. I think it's a good compromise too on moeny and time spent in. Once I am satisfied with it I'll be ready to move on to some harder stuff.[]

I know there are some Rebel Legion people here. Any X-wing pilots by chance?

Yeah, I'll be going for parts like you guys too. Flighsuit, flakvest, code cylinders, hose, ejection straps, etc...

I want to get the "armor" stuff out of the way. I'd go bonkers to get a real APH helmet but I'm thing a richie's armor kit will do. It's enough to get me in the legion.

and destroy a at-at? []

i wonder if this will be the next brotherhood of the sith, darth vader costume thread. xwing, you should rename it brotherhood of the jedi, luke skywalker costume lol []

At last we will reveal ourselves to the jedi, at last we will have revenge.

[xwingband]

To be recognized as a character you have to replicate their helmet. I want to do a custom helmet so nope... no brotherhood of the Jedi in that sense.

Since you are doing a custom costume are you adding a lightsaber to it? and are you staying with the orange color flightsuit?

Rancor 5 from AlderaanBase.com reporting in. X-wing, check out the Dewbackwing.com for hints on the costume. Also, here's our costuming resource for the pilot costume. I'm using a Rubies helmet for now. I'm almost done with a Wilco Models helmet kit. It's a bit more solid than the Richies.

You can have a custom helmet and remain "canon". You can't however remain canon with a different color flightsuit. I wouldn't be able to do some events because of that.[] Just like the Disney thing with Vader that'd be a bummer.

Erik, I'm already aware of both of those sites. I know Pappy from DBW because I did the RP Board for a while.[] Wilco... huh? Can you tell me more about that?

I didn't want to use a Rubies because of it's issues. It runs small too... I have a BIG head so that really never went into my consideration.
