Actually those pix are from Promo stills and a few screen caps that I posted over on the ASAP forum research threads back in the day, some time before the SciFi Heros forum,
I was supposed to be a mod on that forum (SFH) but since the only way I could see the show was on DVD all the threads where spoilers so I stopped going over there.
I do have a TOS uniform, still need to finish the leg board and find a helmet.
It's funny every time I wear it at Cons I run into Richard Hatch.
I was in his promo trailer for about 2 seconds, sadly all my closeups where cut and I'm just in the background in one scene, but I am in 3 scenes on the first episode of I.M.P.s and play 3PO in return of Pink Five in the Endor scenes.
You may be able to bend the tubing, perhaps annealing it first than slowly bending it over something, I was just thinking of plugging the back ends.
A possible pilot would be nice, as it is the arm to the joystick should be more out stretched and not so close to the body.
I managed to hollow out the helmet and found a head in my spares box that fits fairly well, still needs a lot of work though, I even removed the wiring on the top to replace once the helmet gets smoothed out some.
Depending on how well the builds on the 2 I have already go I may get a few more and do battle damaged fighters.
