I know I am very late on this one. (I am trying to get caught up since the Holidays) Someone wanted info on materials like the Lenses and the screen for the...

well the saga of my mask is still not over it would seem. i got the mask and armor in a box marked one of two, box two of two still hastn arrived so the guy is...
Hope your box 2 of 2 arrives soon. Vader without his helmet is just not quite the same. There tend to be some areas on the real deal that seem to be a little ...
G'day, I have decided to make my own helmet. I'm doin this first before I spend heaps on cloth, boots, circetry, speakers, etc on the actual suit. I'm 5 foot...
G'day back at ya. I'm always glad to hear people say that they've decided to make their own helmet. As for how to do it...well, I guess that can seem a little...
Great! Thanks. Just a question... what type of plastic do you use to make the sculpture? Is there a guide on the net that can help me on the best techniques...
There's not really much on the net (that I'm aware of anyway) that constitutes a guide to Vader building. Most sites are interested in the purchasing of said...
Ok, I'm deciding to "renovate" my entire costume, and in doing so, I'm going to need a to know a few things. This is where you come in. could anyone tell me...
Well, it seems to me that Vaderkinde had a nifty idea for making the rocker switches on her site...which can be found on the links page of this club. The...
Coin Slots. Balsa wood is a good way. To get a smooth effect, use some paint called Black Gesso. It's made by Jo Sonja's and can be painted on to fill in...
rocker switches = easy. not EXACT match, but REAL close. Radio shack has a red toggle that is just right. I used these on mine. For the ones that are ...
Radio Shack has a switch that works for the chest box switches? I've never seen those. How big are they? Gypsyboy ... shack has a ... that are ... my chest ......
First, thanks to everyone who told me how to make the chest box goodness, but now a new question, how many people are going to wear their costume to ep3? I'm...
Check out http://home.att.net/~darth_vader_7071/chest_plate.html It shows how they were installed and a close up of one of the switches. The pics are a ...
G'day, I'm making the chest box and belt boxes first just to ease me in. I was wondering. To do flashing lights n stuff. How do you link all these things up...
Well, for something as small and hidden away as the inside of your chest and belt boxes you might want to try using some hot glue. Just twist the ends of the...

G'day, I have bought pretty much everything to make the chest box and the belt. Just a couple of things. 1. I have the exact coax connections for the rods (as...
You are very right. I am a silly person. Electronics!....not electrics. I was just thinking about wires...not circuitry. Duh. You can't use a glue gun for...
Well, I dunno about cutting the whatsit connectors, because I've never done that, but as far as the LEDs go you shouldn't need any special wire for that. The...
All I need to do is two of these circuits for each of the belts. http://members.optusnet.com.au/~dewar_s/Vader/BeltElect_lge.jpg I have given up on putting any...
There is an option, but not a great one. You can buy all components with extended leads and do a wire wrap on each piece, but for the $5.00 you can pick a...
... Somewhat true, but if any jarring happpens, you can loose the connections. Also, contact me directly, I think I have a way to help you on the chest box ...
The flasher LED sounds cool, but is it possible that if you need them to flash at different intervals that you would need to rig them up to separate batteries?...
Actually, one battery would be all you need. The only problem is getting them to flash at different rates. Since I have not worked with them yet, this is ...
Thanks. We look forward to your return. And I should have thought of resistors. Oh, well. GB ... getting them ... this is ... in series ... have got 2 ... get...
it would seem that the person who somehow either didnt send or they lost the helmet they were sending to me, has agreed to send a replacement. my girlfriend...
