Chask's TIE Build
« on: March 26, 2025, 10:57:06 AM »
Hello there!

As a long time fan of SWO and the Legion, I'm finally at a point health and finance wise where I can happily put together my first kit. I'll be starting this as just a Reserve Pilot, but the intent will be to carry it through into a full TIE build down the road.

At the moment, I have some Engineer Boots I picked up from Andy & Bax years ago. https://imgur.com/a/bootref-Fvzq3Xx (Please excuse the poor pic quality, they're from when I first actually bought them 8 years back, better pics are on my to-do). Thankfully they still fit, so unless I'm mistaken the only thing they need is to cut off the ankle straps and knock the shine off the buckles. I also have a belt from WampaWear, though the buckle needs modification or replacement since I did not get it with the disc.

future plans to finish this all out are to get a flight suit from Wampa and perhaps the rest of the soft goods/accessories from there as well. The only possible hang-up I can foresee is the hat. My head is unfortunately on the larger side, right at the max end of Wampa's sizing chart at 26in. In the event the fit ends up being too snug, I'd greatly appreciate any suggestions for sourcing a larger hat, either premade or custom.

thanks for reading, and I look forward to getting to know everyone!

Updates! Items arrived from Wampa, and there is good news and bad.

Good news, the hat fits perfectly! https://imgur.com/a/zPDUCDB

Bad news, the flight suit is just a tad too small, and it'll be mid-April before the size I need is in stock. On that note, however, I have noticed that the sleeves are going to be far too long. Anyone here have experience with shortening the sleeves and relocating the com window?
