Hey guy i totally new to this .... can anybody show me how to do luke's helmet on hoth gear ?
 
Welcome aboard!

I'm sure the others will chime in, but I'm pretty sure you'll need a

Hasbro X-Wing jumpsuit
Bespin Luke Belt and boots
Yavin Luke coat
Tomy X-Wing Helmet
Body and a head you are happy with

It's gonna also depend on how comfortable you are modifying stuff, sometime expensive stuff. The experts here will help, no doubt.

And above all.....post lots of pics!!!!!


And as a PS-1 thread would've been sufficient, and this one is the most appropriate. Posting the same thing in 6 or 7 threads is bound to get you some ribbing from some of the fellas. Welcome just the same.

welcome welcome welcome... yep I will second what Darth said, for the gloves there are so many choices its just finding good ones you like. I am using some at the mo which are fine but I am gonna switch em to ATAT marmit ones, in fact I am gonna totally redo my Luke.

But if there is any thing you need my friend please just ask, so many folks will help you out.
 
I need to take a long look through this thread cause theres some really great pieces!

Had actually thought about using my Yavin Luke coat for a Snow Speeder version, might have to give him a go at some point now.
 
i made a hoth x wing jacket a while ago out of a Dragon 1/6 WW2 M41 US Parsons jacket. cut up an old pair of khaki pants in the shape of the collar and painted everything with acrylic paint. added a piece of ribbon along the sleeve as well. paint makes the fabric a little stiff but nothing too bad. hope that helps!

Ryan that looks so good and i love the coat looks spot on.

I started on my pilot yesterday (big thanks to dorgs) using a yavin luke jacket. He's not finished yet as i want to do a snow base and do something with the helmet, but i'll post a piccie up later anyway.

Sounds like a great idea and looks great, too. Wonder if it would work to use dye remover then hit it with orange?
 
loving your pilots chaka :)

Here's my WIP snow pilot.

He needs more weathering, a snowy base and the helmet needs a bit of painting and weathering.
 
Cheers man Dorgs cast em for me then it took me about a minute to millputt the comm which im happy with :) Im gonna try and make him pretty heavily weathered like the gloves i painted.
 
Hey Hey top chuffintastic Cbob. Those slacks look amazing and the collar is brilliant. I really want to do mine again. The straps on the chest box are also spot on. I cut the plastic loops on the back of the chest box to sit tighter to the chest.

LOVE IT
 
Yeah i really need to do the chest box so i'll get on that cheers. I made his helmet mic last night and done some helmet repainting.
 
Tomy x-wing helmet, chin strap moved and mic added, but i need to show that yet.
Praji gloves cast by dorgs and i sculpted the wrist comm.
Sideshow Han blaster and holster.
Hot toys slim TT body.
Narrow shoulder (Gambit) TT head with hair removed.
Hasbro jumpsuit, chest box, straps, leg tube ( i made smaller tubes though) holder.
Dragon boots.
Sideshow Yavin ceremonial jacket repainted.
Pilot white vest thingy i made myself until Vivisect makes his cos i want 1 :)
