I'm leaning toward building up the whole suit but I very much doubt that I'll troop in Clone Pilot too often as the bucket is in my opinon, rather fragile. You'll understand once you see the bucket. So, perhaps in a year's time if I'm lucky, the clone pilot will be done.renzaijh wrote:Great work. What you have is better than the cannisters provided by the prop maker. Are you assembling the full costume or is this a helmet/chestbox for display?

Other than the size, I think its very close. To look for something similar by itself is already not an easy task.
So, I can imagine how hard it is to find a perfect match and some hardware shops kept every small items behind the counter so one cannot browse easily.
The hose on the screenshot does looks like those old bicycle brake grommets. However, I never seen one so long before. I would try the bicycle and motor bike shops.

Paul, for the black corrugated hose you can try using those tubes call 'wire loom' which are used to organise wires together. They come in a few sizes and I think the 0.75" diameter one would be perfect for your helmet.
These wire loom have a slit right down the centre but you can always insert a smooth tube inside and glue it to that tube.
