Del Meeko WIP


Recommended Posts

Hi! 

Still pretty new to the 501st world but I got my Tie reserve pilot approved this month! So happy to be a part of the 501st officially! Anyways in-between getting that done I've been slowly working on my Del Meeko. 

I have around 85% of what I need for it. Things I still need to do, waiting on. 

- waiting on my boots.

- need to find the shoulder ammo pouch 

- need to figure out how to pad my helmet, add fans and speakers/mic? 

- install red bubble lenses. 

- hoses

- compad 

- weapon holster 

- finish painting helmet and armor. 

- finish gluing and painting DLT-19X. 

 

Whats done (for the most part) 

- chestbox (besides mounting it to the chest)

- flightsuit (need to add patches) 

 

Also whats the best way to attach the armor together? Snaps? Velcro? 

I'm still reading and watching a bunch of videos but thought id see if anyone had any best practice tips or anything. 

 

Finally I have attached a link to my google drive with images ill be updating as I progress with my build.

Great job Tyler, I always enjoy seeing another Inferno kit coming together.

For the armour I'd definitely recommend velcro. I tried a few other methods but nothing else was as reliable or simple as that. I epoxied the hard shoulder straps to the rear plate, then used velcro to attach the shoulder straps to the chest plate, and then more velcro to attach the side plates.
