Overlander Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 I'm in for a classic pilot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PunkRocketScience Posted April 21, 2016 Author Share Posted April 21, 2016 Okay... So here is what I've found so far for the classic X-pilot... Not an endorsement of any of these products, just letting you know what I'm using! But first, here is a link to the costume requirements on the RL site: http://www.rebellegion.com/x-wing-pilot-episode-iv-vi-y-wing-pilot-episode-iv/ And the pilot sub-forum: http://www.forum.rebellegion.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=632 Here is the helmet I decided on from Darth Hair: http://www.forum.rebellegion.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=52880&highlight= I'm also going with his chest box (combined shipping!): http://www.forum.rebellegion.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=25275 I already had a orange flight suit from Wampa Wear: http://www.wampawear.com/x-wing-orange-flightsuit/ And one is made by Far Away Creations, but you will have to email for info: info@farawaycreations.com But if you are the sewing type and want to do your own, here is one that could be used as a base (it is the same one I used for my AT-AT driver): http://www.automotiveworkwear.com/RedKap/CT10/coveralls.html For boots, I'm going with these: http://www.imperialboots.com/?product=classic-jack Gloves: http://www.leathermystics.com/gauntlets/gauntlets.html Aluminum Greebs: http://www.elvistrooper.com/xtool.htm I'm planning on sewing the flak vest and strapping myself, with design help from Lesley. Here are a couple of tutorials: http://www.forum.rebellegion.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=19556 http://www.alderaanbase.com/reference/xwingcostume/ Lesley has a source for the strapping, so we can put in a group order. Finally, if you haven't gone over to Sunrider base and signed up for an account there yet, you might want to do so: http://corellianscribe.com/board/ That's all I've got for you right at the moment... But it is quite a bit of info! I hope that it is helpful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrieKalan2 Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 For those who are a little price strapped, you can make the leg flares and belt flares from wood dowels, kilz, silver metallic paint, clear coat, polish and patience! I can indeed get all the grey strapping and oD green strapping needed for this through strapworks--and we get a wholesale discount because we're also a retailer. We also need to look for buckles and stuff for the strapping--I have to go look for the source. And don't forget we all need Compads!

PunkRocketScience Posted April 21, 2016 Author Share Posted April 21, 2016 I have a mold for the comm pads, so I can pour those for the group. I just need to know how many and then get resin. The belt buckles can be found at either Wampa Wear, or Fenix Props. We can probably save a little by doing a group order on those. http://store.fenixprops.com/content/store/view/&item=105 http://www.wampawear.com/hardwear/ These appear to be the correct tuck clasps for the vest: https://ohiotravelbag.com/products/item/ec06071f-c854-4cf9-a004-0c20a769e91b/L-2331-NP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oswegojeff Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Are we able to buy any of these items as a group to get a discount or together so we are all progressing at the same rate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khazara Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 It appears that we will need an additional suit that we can use for donor fabric to create flight suit pockets. It definitely makes sense we all get the same supplier so the material matches and we can share. I read that one extra suit should provide enough material for 3 pilot outfits, we can probably order an XL size to get the most material.

There is definitely enough extra material in a donor suit for 2 others... Not sure if you would get three in it without doing some careful layout...

Yes, strapping, buckles, for sure. Would have to check on other items. But we do need to hold each other accountable on getting this project done on time! As always, the casa will be open for sewing workshops and general help when we start getting supplies in and start working! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far Away Creations - I know their armor takes a soooooooper long time (over a year, providing almost no communication about timing or delays) but they may have different people involved for making sewn products RedKap - I have this same RedKap coverall in black for my biker scout. I can't seem to find a "Long" version vs Regular in anything smaller than a 42. Which might be ok, I think the pilot coveralls might need to fit looser than my scout - will do more research.

PunkRocketScience Posted April 21, 2016 Author Share Posted April 21, 2016 I know that Lesley was having issues finding a RedKap that would fit her as well... We aren't locked into a specific supplier, I just posted what I knew of. We can check with CosplaySky as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrieKalan2 Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 I reached out to Wampa wear to see if he does custom work...probably not, but looking anyway I talked to Gabe Flores, his was made by CosplaySky...when I looked on their site today, orange jumpsuits weren't there. We may have problems finding suppliers as many are probably out due to TFA/Rogue One. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagleskull Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Very excited to start this build! By the way, is anyone else having problems with Wampawear's page? I click on links and get nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad Droid Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 I'm excited for this too... never really thought about becoming a Rebel Pilot, but all this Rogue One hoopla has me all worked up. Would need lots of help when it comes to sewing, straps, and details, but in a group setting, the motivation is definitely there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khazara Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Got my access to Rebel Legion forums. I read that someone contacted WampaWear and they are making orange jumpsuits and should have them available to purchase by end of June. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khazara Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Imperial boots is now accepting orders. Rebel pilot boots are $100 + $65 shipping (!). Ordering higher quantities doesn't save, it just increases the multiplier x $65. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PunkRocketScience Posted May 4, 2016 Author Share Posted May 4, 2016 I just checked their website and it says that the shopping cart is disabled until Friday, May 6th and the current ordering "wave" will only only be open until May 13th. A very limited time! Get your orders in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
