My Ep2 Clone Pilot

It looks like you just came out of the digital set.

Great job man!

You have set the bar man.

Arturo

That's a gorgeous costume my friend, top notch job as always.
I'd like to make a clone pilot some time down the road, so don't be surprised when I start PM'ing you for details.

Seriously! That kinds of brings doubt that it's Cruzer in the photo. There's no way he's as tall or taller than those people.

J/K looking good man.

Lewis, you could still be a Jawa dude.

Oh Snap!

Thanks guys for the compliments.

Seeker, the weathering is actually based on the ref. pic in the Chronicles Prequels book, which I believe is from the digital files.

Does your Orthodontist also dabble in Hair Replacement, or do you have a seperate guy for that?

Actually, I think I haven't had an orthodontist since I had my braces back in jr high and high school. I believe that's when a lot of people have them, but then there are some people like my wife who have braces later on as adults. She's doing that invisaline thing, and she really recommends them. As for hair replacement, why would I have a guy for that?

So did I miss you on Sunday at LegoLand? I was only able to attend on Saturday, but I heard Sunday was fun as well. If I lived closer, I would have surely attended that day as well. It was neat to hear some of the kids know exactly who my character was. I even had some kids ask me if I flew particular ships, I would just say yes to all the ones they'd mention. I guess I now need to brush up on my ship classes!

Dude, you know I have access to a complete costume if I ask nicely enough!

Great looking costume! I'm glad that I was able to see it over the weekend at LegoLand.

marshmallow

I think you've just found yourself a call sign there Cruzer!

It looks absoutly awsome mate!

Amazing costume mate !!! I love the 2nd pic !!!

What helmet is that ??? (the ep.II clone pilot costume is one of my very favourite ones !! I hope I can complete one someday, with the chest tank, and the amzing helmet !! GREAT WORK DUDE !!! You MUST send me more pics !!!

i do the same thing in my fett... i'm 5' 9" natively, but between the shoes, lifts and helmet padding, the top of my dome is just around 6'

Bloody fantastic job on a costume we rarely see.
Excellent work

Then, the prerecord voice commands and voice amplifier are controlled by tact switches located in the finger tips of my left glove

Oh yes...bla bla bla!

This is what happen when Cruzer touch the girls with this electric glove!

I'm 5'9" out of costume, I don't do any lifts or anything, but I think I come out to a modest height for Boba.

Oh my god!!! That is so funny Lorenzo!!! LMAO

It's ok Fabrizio, I still think your "manly" looking.

Lorenzo don’t let anyone give you any gripe about you’re height, you’re not short dude, just funsize ENnnnn!!!

Kidding aside you’re clone is looking great; the addition of weathering really sells the definition and depth of all the curved proportions on the armor, really liked the direction you took with it. As for the chestbox I don’t even know where to begin about the ingenuity you put into that, all I know is you’re spending waay too much time in the garage these days sir and its paying out in spades.

Holy Cow! I heard about this and I am really stunned. Well ...no, not really...Cruzer your work is amazing as always, the glove... what made you think of that?
I agree with Andy though, too much time in the garage.

You are one crazy guy, that setup is awesome! The weathering really makes the suit pop!

very impressive. awesome clone man! best pilot ive seen yet.

wow... i missed that at first!

i've got my hasbro board set aside for... something...

i've been thinking about putting mine in my comm pad, after seeing a thread on clone-empire about something similar.

but that method would let me use the mic too.

now, if i can get the sound output to my normal voice amp.

It was very difficult mounting the tact switches in the glove tips. It's awesome when its all said and done: Being able to press my fingertips against my blaster to talk or play some of the prerecorded messages is very convenient, but I probably wouldn't do this type of installation again. Getting the wires soldiered to the very very small leads on the tact switches are enough to drive most people mad!

Cruzer,
Do you still have the reference pics saved somewhere? The links from your earlier post are broken and not showing.

Totally agree.

me too - so I'll be watching your creative genius come together so I can follow where you lead. Ever since i bought that helmet the samples were something I wanted to do something with....

Sorry about that. I forgot that I had moved things around. I corrected the mistake with a link to my photobucket album...or here it is below. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

I've gotten a handful of requests for copies of my chestbox since first debuting the suit, so I hope to begin the mold this month.

Cruzer,

Your pilot is indeed one of the best I have seen, and I think the fact that you aren't all that tall says even more about it, because you look proportionately very good, where a lot of shorter people tend to look just that... short! Way to pull off the look very effectively! We need to talk to you about that because Mirax needs some SERIOUS help!

Thanks for the link, it's tough finding good shots of the chestbox and yours is definately amazing!!! What size hoses did you use there?

Great looking suit Cruzer, I cant wait to see it in person!
Darren
BTW, let me know when/if you start making the chest box available, I am interested in getting one.

This is what you need a set of. Add 1.3” or 2” to your height and Air sole for ultimate comfort – wear all them all day long!

DW,fortunately I actually started making the mold box today for the chest box, so hopefully very soon.

Thanks again guys

Cruzer, that is good news. That is the nicest clone pilot's chest box that I have ever seen. It will be nice to see this molded; I offer any assistance you might need. I do a little molding, myself. ...And I know a little something about cloning.

Will you be at Wondercon?

Thanks man for the offer, as I know you know more than just a "little something"! I started breaking down my chestbox last night so I could consider if it should be molded as one piece or as multiple pieces. Any suggestions you have would be appreciated. Thanks

Sounds good. My wife works at a hospital so maybe I'll start visiting her at work more often .

Man did I start hanging around here again at just the right time. I'll be keeping that in mind.

Glad you understood me...I meant to say "medical" industry.

Very cool about you being interested in EP2 clone pilots!

I didn't even notice the missing 'c' until you mentioned it .
Yeah, I figured it would look good next to my TIE and I really want to build another clone!!!

After a closer look at my box and ref. pics, I've realized it's not really constructed for molding and there are some inaccuracies I'd like to fix before producing these for other people. So with the help of Sci-Fire, I'm going to begin building a new box that'll be molded for Hyperfirm production. Here's a preliminary 3D model that postmortem created. His 3D modeling skills are amazing, as they should be because he does this kind of stuff everyday...lucky guy!

Ooh, that is pretty!

I was surprised at just how small this box really is. After scaling it in Autocad, it really is small. It will be cool to see this thing lit up and worn. God I love Star Wars and how many silly objects there are to make.

What kind of helmet are you wearing? Who is the maker?

Wonderful job there.
