Tutorial to make a prop Star Wars X Wing Pilot costume.

[@DwayneHicks426]

This guy deserves more views.

[@ro63rto]

With Secret Cinema a few days away, I'm surprised he hasn't had a major uplift in views.

[@lflank]

Yep. The snowspeeder pilots also wore the same thing. :)

[@GARY42353]

i hope he is still alive

[@lflank]

I'd be an X Wing pilot. :)

[@lflank]

I made the shield, the crossbow,the spear and the longbow, the chainmail, and the helmet, and bought the swords. Back in my younger days, I did medieval re-enactment.

[@whiskeylung]

Your costumes are pro! Another great video tutorial.

[@GARY42353]

he should have his own tv show

[@imyugioh]

this guy is so creative, this design looks incredibly screen accurate except for the helmet, its a little too wide, but other than that. it looks awesome!!!!!

[@MrFoolD]

0:12

[@lflank]

Yep, I forgot the belt. To make the belt, you need, well, a belt. :)

[@kristinaF54]

Great video. I always wondered how the harness was actually worn, thanks for showing it and explaining everything so clearly.

[@joginator]

man, this looks so awsome! cant believe that home made stuff can look so brilliant!

[@Thermodynamix.Cannabis]

Thanks for the Flak Vest instructions. Worked very well!

[@supersk8erboy7]

all of your costumes are so acurate!!!!!!!!!!!! and your videos are so awesome 1,000/1,000 keep up the good work!!!!!!!!!

[@TOMTRAPSATROUT]

brilliant, great tut!

[@ObiWanShinobi12]

Maybe I'll say it again but I love your films!!!

[@TheTukTuk2008]

Cool dude! Great costume!

[@Gustavflyer]

I was going to applaud your effort.

[@androidgreek4806]

DIY Respect to you, effort and ingenuity made your outfit as good as it is, good on you, thanks for sharing

[@eldeadbeat]

thanks for this video it gave me some good info on how to make my own keep up the good work May the force be with you!

[@lflank]

Yep. You'd have to modify it to add the "rams horn" on the sides and the "mohawk" ridge along the top.

[@nian89]

This is great! Thank you so much for making this video :)

[@jrmagic43]

sick this looks awesome!!!!!!!! keep up the tutorials great great job!

[@florapolitis7902]

I love this Helmet. May the force be with you^^

[@dude97x]

ULTRA-AWESOME!!!

[@ilikestarwars473]

Its cool how you are one of the few people who doesn't care entirely about screen accuracy.

[@kennerfreak7]

cool. i have a space camp fligh suite so could i use it. i cant wait to finish it. cool costume

[@southerenboy98]

omg lflank are the *most* amazing star wars fan i have ever seen good job 5/5 keep it up oh btw i have a light saber vid and you were the one who inspired me to do it :)

[@NavalPictures]

I don't know why he doesn't have more views, It's great!

[@shredwarfare5446]

Man you're good!

[@DarthOptimus207]

i love you're costumes and nice weapons at 6:34

[@dangkoen]

Nice videos, dude. I was just wondering, if you made those swords and shields yourself. How did you do that? I mean I kinda wanna make classical antiquity-style swords and shields.

[@lflank]

Not if you want it to look right. You can use an old motorcycle helmet or something, but then you'll need to make the mohawk ridge at the top and the rams-horns at the sides.

[@GARY42353]

this video is a awesome video

[@sighkedelic]

@lflank To be fair, since both the 501st and Rebel Legion are recognized by Lucasfilm as the official costuming groups, the screen accuracy guidelines are exacting for a reason. Both groups have extensive costume making forums with resource links and tutorials. The emphasis is on learning new skills (ie sewing, metal or leather work) rather than just purchasing a costume. Having said that, for a quick, quick and impressive costume, great job!

[@AngelLuvcheto]

awesome

[@78selhurst]

Good work

[@ted-3dotmov]

I miss watching this guy

[@GARY42353]

your the coolest

[@eleanorward2131]

Thanks for posting this...off to find some wooden dowling and aquarium tubing :)

[@Nogger86Germany]

good job

[@GARY42353]

your a cool dude

[@Hum0ng0us]

I'm looking at my Power of the Force Luke Pilot action figure (who's actually in the HOTH flight suit) and that tube going from the chest box is run through the side of the left leg down. Just in case this helps! Your flight suit looks GREAT!! I'm all jealous over here! ^_^

[@ConciseGlue]

This is great. Look to dress like this to episode 8!

[@universalfraeser]

Fantastic. Thank you for the video. Do you have a link where I can buy the helmet?

[@angy101rulz]

You should make your own. Way cheaper and looks almost like the real deal:)

[@GARY42353]

guess what i found a red like orange suit at good will store that looks like the x wing suit, all i got to do is add long sleeves , it fits me perfect, i got the suit for 5 dollars

[@sighkedelic]

@waruishoujo To be fair, Rebel Legion standards are exacting because they are recognized by Lucasfilm as the premier Rebel costuming group. While this fellows quick and cheap costume looks pretty neat to Joe Public (& I applaud his efforts) it's not very screen accurate, The Rebel Legion site has loads and loads of links, tutorials and forum entrys on making the pilot costume (& many others) accurately without a huge expense. It usually means more "sweat investment" than cash.

[@anthonymoreno9225]

were did you get the boots and gloves from?

[@gaarainblood]

dude you did a great fucking job oh that

[@scubamax222]

you should make the following: Imperial officer rebel trooper and darth vader

[@joenies]

@wiplock2 I tottaly agree xD

[@DavidThomas1973]

Porkins lost some weight i see

[@CylentShadowStudios]

classic video

[@actionbricktv5355]

where can i buy the helmet and Suite?

[@lflank]

I spray painted the base colors, then used permanent magic marker for the detailing.

[@brucebloot]

THANKS! Agh, I was looking for a pilot costume, but couldn't find one. WHY DON'T I JUST MAKE MY OWN?! Thanks!

[@GRFalkonas]

Virginity lvl: X-Wing

[@r4y0fth3sun5]

Use the force Iflank. :)

[@misterballistics]

really? I am a colonial reenactor, 17th century henricus melitia. Great flight suit! you have out done yourself once again. so, when is the rebel soldier outfit coming? ;)

[@SaberFreeeek]

So many T.V. dinners, Im worried you arent eating very well. LOL

[@ericamann9216]

i think he got the from me

[@GARY42353]

guess what most of the real star wars stuff in the movies is home made

[@GARY42353]

i made me one and its on my site

[@waruishoujo]

This won't make it into the Rebel Legion will it? :C

[@ericamann9216]

y wing costum

[@practicaldeduction6862]

I'm not so sure, most of your costumes look like they might actually make it into rebel legion

[@lflank]

Nope. The Rebel Legion and the 501st are Nazis about screen accuracy. To get in either one, you'll have to spend the big bucks. This costume is not intended for the Legion--it's intended for people who want to make low-budget fan films.

[@ConciseGlue]

lflank perfect

[@GARY42353]

check out my stormtrooper costume

[@ericamann9216]

h lives by me

[@ericamann9216]

[@ericamann9216]

[@rezsky404]

Along with 2 darth maul force fx lightsabers with removable blades. Then I can attach it to my belt and wear it for show.

[@rezsky404]

For halloween this year, I'm going to dress as a star wars geek. First I'm going to jinx.com. clothing inspired by video games and geeks. They have star wars the old republic t shirts from the game if any of you have played swtor before. I'm going to get the sith empire tee, hat, and necklace.

[@Xserozon]

Wow, that's a lot better than those stupid cheap children costumes that are made in China!

[@Gustavflyer]

Why.do you compare the 501st to Nazis??? Dude, chill with that comparison, no need for that! U was going to applaud your efforts.

[@KNSchlosser]

Trust me... That x-wing would not make it... There's minor things that they would shut down... like the code rods and leg flairs out of dowels...
