 |
|
Here are some picts of my completed 181st Tie Pilot costume. I am considering the Widow's Tears, but I don't want the helmet too busy. Anyway, here are the picts....
Naturally, I will be subitting for 501st approval, but we will see. Got some fine detailing to do.
Thanks for looking!

That is very nice. Right about the tears, might be too distracting. Clean & sharp as is. Did you cut in holes in the mouth area? Always thought that was a good area for air circulation, just never had the dremel nerve to do it. Cool.

Looks great still, but you have to get your post count over 50. Become more active on the boards

That's really impressive work!
I am also doing a 181st TIE Pilot in addition to my ANH TIE (already a TI in the 501st Legion).
I am still waiting the new Costume Reference Library standards to complete it, but I can tell you that the helmet won't make it for a 501st (Omega Wing will do I guess): there are no special markings allowed like the crest you painted red...even if it is beautiful from my opinion!
You lack a harness, the third hose and arms protections as seen with Baron Fel, but these are details, your 181st TIE is pretty cool man!

Yeah, my costume was done before the official 181st standards were created. I decided to go just 181st, not necessarily 100% Baron Fel. Since the costume standards are now being set up as we speak, I will be making the appropriate adjustments.
Are guards I will add. The third hose if debatable becuase it is not in all the references and a decision hasn't been made as to where it goes. If done, I will attach it to the back of the vest like Bossk, and not let it hang down like an elephant trunk.

I love the look of this costume. I think I could also mod mine as I have a second jumpsuit.

Ever since I read "The Making of Baron Fel" I've wanted to do a 181st Tie Pilot Suit. It's just something about those red stripes that screams "Don't fly against me or you will die!"
