So . . . would anyone be interested in making an X-Wing pilot with me? I'll be starting my Wedge Antilles costume this coming month. We already have one member (whom I will leave anonymous until they speak out) but would love to see this become a group project. If you're interested, leave some feedback.
Several of the Imperials will be on-board (and increasing our base membership). Link to the Georgia Garrison Board thread; http://forums.ga501st.com/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=2615
Just to keep track of where I'm acquiring my pieces, I'll list them here.
Flightsuit: Ordered orange two snap-front coveralls, these will need to be modified, http://www.workingclassclothes.com/product.php?productid=16279&cat=256&page=1#images
Chest box; local vendor making a 'raw' kit for them for a good price. If you're interested, please let me know ASAP. These will need to be painted, buttons and greeblies added.
Helmet; Check the sale forum on these message boards.
Flak vest, belt, harness; PM me for ideas, or refer to the sale forum on these message boards.
Boots; German Jackboots are preferred. These are boots I've used for Luke & Dooku, though I took them to a shoe shop and have the top 'flattened' to removed the curve, which has shortened them a bit, http://www.crazyhorsetack.com/mendevdresbo.html
As mentioned previously, these are the vendors/companies I have used, so feel free to choose your own supplier(s) for your costume.

Shoot me a PM with some prices and places you are getting your gear. I will price it out and see. It was nice this weekend to see a large group of pilots in one place. _________________ Size matters not. Look at me. Judge me by my size, do you? Hmm? Hmm. And well you should not.

Refer to the GG post I linked in the first thread. It has a rough break-down of prices. As far as the helmets, I ordered mine from Jedi Mickey here on the boards. |

I might be able to swing it if I wait until later to get the helmet. Let me look a bit further into it and price it out. _________________ Size matters not. Look at me. Judge me by my size, do you? Hmm? Hmm. And well you should not. For my ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is. |

You can still get the costume approval without the helmet (odd, isn't it?). |

I'm very interested.... but having to be careful of my credits ATM.
I've spent way too much money lately... all worthwhile stuff, including home and car repairs.... but I can't wave my hand like Qui-Gon. (Of course, it didn't go so well for him that time, either... LOL)
But I'm very interested.
I understand Tranquility Base (Alabama) has about 15 pilot costumes in the approval pipeline... some current members, but some new members. All of the pilots in a group looked great at the Huntsville troop this past weekend.

I'll be interested as well, but it will be beyond CV and DC when we have more $$  _________________ 2008 SABER IDOL CHAMPION

I've had a couple questions in regards to the movie helmets, so I'll provide some info on them.
Here is a great resource on the canon helmets.
http://www.starwarshelmets.com/original_rebel_pilot_helmets.htm
Here is a group image of the most common decals used on the helmets. This doesn't include the larger designs used for Biggs or Red Leader, but it's a good start.
Hope this helps! |

I have pdf's for patterns of all the pockets needed for the flightsuit if anyone is planning on modding their own. Just send me a pm with your email address and I will send it to you. _________________

Does it matter where we get our flight suits at? Because sometimes when you buy things from different places, they tend to use different dye lots on their merchandise. I am just wondering because I didn't know if it would matter if the colors were off a bit. I know that's sometimes a problem with the RFTs.
I might get a flight suit to start out with, and just get the other pieces when I have the extra money. I figure that's a good place to start. I may have some seat belt webbing to make the ejection harness.....I'll have to check with my father inlaw.....he works with a lot of cars and may have some handy. _________________ The Funkiest Buns in the Galaxy!
