I'll share the first new updated print off of the Del buckle STL. Two coats of primer and some paint and this will be ready to mount. I didnt get a pic of the four square openings on the bottom but they are square and look correct per the game model. 

You can link back to the file Mike Ford made here

some work before the freeze sets in. I got my pipes set and sanded the hell out of this print and welded the parts of the forward scope assmbly together. Its at the final putty round now, heavy application to make it "rounder".

Helmet and armor are still sitting in my box ready to go. I got a 3 pound bag of leather last night at HL so I can make the real leather straps for L2 approval. I got this big bag of mostly black leather thats perfect for the tac rig straps, for the princely sum of 6 ducats.

Flightsuit is from Jim Tripon in the Phillipines. i got a few minutes to try it on and run around the house before I had to leave.  Its heavier than the Wampa Wear suit, which is a lighter weight canvas. 

Id love to get some feedback on the appearance of the suit since I am looking to go to L2 Specialist approval. I know its missing the padded shoulders, Ill have to get me some and velcro them in.  The fabric IS heavier, and I dont feel that the material wrinkles/ scrunches nearly as bad as the WampaWear suit. I believe the window for the commpad is large. It is supposed to show the entire commpad through the window, unlike most TIE pilots where part of the commpad is typically hidden.  

Feedback welcome!

Yes, Ill take care of that tonight and get pics. I got in it, wore it a bit and got out and left the house. It felt good. I spoke with Jim last night and he said he does not wash the suits/fabric so it "might" shrink some and Im ok with that. 

I specifically asked for no waistband elastic so we do not run into the scrunching issue we have on the back of lighter weigth suits , where we see the fabric scrunched together. 

 

Further research questions:

Tac Vest

The L2 spec is for a leather strap for the vest and I have that big bag of cowhide scraps. I have smooth and textured. 

Looking at our CRL research this appears textured to me, so I plan to use the textured leather for the straps. I will need to join some of them together to make the straps and the overstrap but six dollars for a bag of scraps is a lot better than 60 plus dollars for a hide that might or might not work. 

Commpad 

I have the file printed out out for the commad, but to be honest that file is a pain to asssemble and ive had them crack in half becase of how its designed. Im strongly considering modding one of my other Commpads. I print them all the time and its not THAT different however the size is specified in the CRL so I would just need to adjust that.
