Guys, I must admit. I am cheating here some. Due to time constraints, I cannot give my mask the necessary attention it needs to be correct. Please forgive ...
One thing I forgot to add. If these are not a good mask, please give me an idea of a good place to look for one. I have a "mission" to get Vader right (at...
I just went to the parade...I live just a few miles from downtown atlanta. I had to make the choice between spending money to get in or spending money to...
The first one (#2190271500) is a real Classic Action. The other is (posssibly a recast of) an early Altmanns (which is nicer than the new ones for some...
Chris- I think the first one actually IS a C/A....looks really nice. However, that 2nd one is definitely an Altmann's, and while they're nice quality helmets, ...
As many are seeing, I have a BUNCH of questions all of the sudden. Well, I have an excuse. I went to Dragon-CON and after another run with my latest ...
I've never heard that they were different, just a morror image of each other...but I havent researched the shin armor like I have the mask and shoulder armor. ...
The Vader's shin-guards have a little difference between the left and the right shin. The left shin is a little bigger (taller) than the right one. The...
I have a set of ABS shins and they are not a "Mirror image". Not only is the left longer, it is also slightly different shaped on the top. I will post a...
Guys, Vader7071's post yesterday really got me thinking. It's time for me to get serious about my helmet, too. My wife is threatening to kill me if I spend any...
That would explain why it looked to me in a lot of pictures of the accurate shin armor why one always looked shorter than the other. =\ GB ... Well, ... my...
Hmmmm..so you're saying use fiberglass? That's what I've been trying to avoid, as I've never been very succesful with it in the past (I've done some auto...
I found out Vader Painter is workin gon making some helmets for sale here soon. You may want to wait to see what he makes. I am. Another question, chest box...
WOW, that's some serious stuff there. I honestly cant tell you what's movie correct.I'm just happy all thre lights on my belt are finally working..speaking of...
I prefer ESB light sequence. Side note to all, I am working on writing a STAMP program for a controller to make the lights flash correctly. For all those who...
I'd give my left arm for a realistic vader helmet at that price. By all means, if you know where I can get one for 2-300 let me know, I'll buy it right now....
I have decided to not bid on either of those helmets, so have at the first. Thanks for the sequence, I'll do the same and we can compare notes. -- Chris Vader...
You're probably better off, I'll be SHOCKED if that C/A goes for anything less than 700 bucks. No way I can pay that. One can dream, though. It's insane that...
Being a Vader costumer I watch helmets all the time. I have a full sized fiberglass helmet. I bought a raw unpainted kit for $250 and finished it. Mine is not...
Yes, I agree with you for the first helmet. But once you have the mold you can clone your hlemet thousand of times. Daniele ... From: ron2150@... To:...
Part2 of the Rant.. Sorry but the guys you should be tough on are the guys that bought Several C/A helmets at cost $100 and are selling them for $800 now. The...
That thought makes me want to pass out!!! It took me 3 months to finish 1... imagine trying to make 1000!!!!. Imagine what George Lucas would say to THAT. I...
Ron to be truthfull, I completely agrre. Any way i can help the temple save a few bucks, I'll do it. Plus I also want to help the temple be CORRECT for the...
