Awesome! What are you using for tubing on the vest? (the tubes that go horizontally across the chest)

Those are half dowel foam rods.

Foam Half Dowel - 1 metre

Half Round foam dowelling, made from high-density EVA foam. Great for rounded edge detailing.

Awesome, thanks brother! Did you go with the 10mm or 15mm? I ordered some of each

So, just resurrecting this as I am currently building a few suits for the new movie release.

But I still haven’t seen it anywhere, other than the 3D models that were posted. I happened upon what I believe are the same buckles used in the film on the still suit cod straps:

So, they only ship within Italy or to verified companies, so I have an Italian contact whom happens to be a member of this board who’s ordering them and shipping them to me.

Will verify their the correct ones when they arrive.

They’re bronze, so just need a quick paint job, but I’d say pretty accurate

Would this work good for a dune Base suit, before all the foam and stuff gets layered on? Inspired Bo Katan Flight Suit With Free Boba Fett Gloves - Etsy

What are the black and white oval parts used on the cutouts for the straps? Thanks for any help!

Those are some 3d printed, flat, plastic oval rings that I ended up painting black and gluing on top of the slots on the hip pads. The screen used costumes have them as well, and I'm assuming its so that the strap that goes through them doesn't rip the hip pads? I'll try to find some pics...

Here you can see the oval-ish parts on both the groin cover, and the hip pads where the straps go through

Thanks!, Yes I noticed them on the actual suits and assumed they were there to prevent tearing. I will design some to print, just didn't know if they were a bulk buy or something.
