That looks fantastic. I can't imagine why you wouldn't be accepted into the 501st based on those pics...unless of course they think you're trying to fool them...
That thing about doing everything twice is not rare. I usually do almost everything at least twice...at least where vader stuff is concerned. GB ... the same ...
That's fabulous! The only thing I can see to "criticize" is that the upper side rod connection where the two halves meet doesn't seem to be quite lined up. At...
Hy my friends, I put new pics (Brazil Vader folder) for my upgades in the Vader's Costume, Coments is very good!!! Now I hava a Don Post Classic Action,...
WOW That's unbeleivable! Excellent work. I agree with GB, I cant see anything to nitpick about! Cant wait to see your progress!! Alex ... From: Michael...
This is awesome! Yet another fantastic looking project posted in the pictures section in just a few days. That new helmet, armour and chest box really top off...
Do you still have that rough helmet? Would you be willing to sell it? Let me know. Thank You, Kevin (Vader wanna -be) ... Kevin, There are still a lot of guys...
Sorry about that, It was suppose to go to Ron's private email. Kevin ... Do you still have that rough helmet? Would you be willing to sell it? Let me know. ...
I have a question for anyone out there who may have the info I'm looking for. This is with regards to versions of movie-used masks. I'm very familiar with the...
GB- Have you checked out www.starwarshelmets.com under "real props" then under "Darth Vader"? That is the single best source of info that I am aware of... Alex...
This is a comparison on the different Vader helmet used in the ANH movie. http://web.ukonline.co.uk/bingo275/ANH%20Vad%20helmcomps.htm Daniele ... Da: Michael...
LOL that's the exact same site that I just referenced....great minds think alike! Alex ... From: Daniele [mailto:lightside@...] Sent: Wednesday, June...
Alex, Just checked out your pics. Awesome!!! You know when someone here gets finished (When is it ever REALLY finished)it helps others get fired up about...
Yes I have, but I haven't seen the info pertaining to that, if it's there. I recall a reference to the "fat lip" ESB Vader, but no mention of the sharp edge...
Yup. Read the whole thing. It didn't answer my question. All I can say is that it looks *maybe* like the bottom lip edge may be sharp in some of the pictures,...
Trying to get some picture of a fan-made prop job doesn't help I think. That's because every prop maker bases his work on the referring pictures he finds...
Ron- Yeah, still quite a bit of work to do. Electronics arent done yet (still wiring stuff up), height needs added to boots, shins arent right yet, stitching...
GB- The only thing I could suggst at this point would be checking with some of the Vader people at the RPB or RPF. There was a thread there not too long ago...
Alex, Thanks for the compliment on my helmet but until my suit is finished its just a conversation display piece, besides painting one is not as hard as you...
You wouldn't be the first. I collapsed through a false wall during an appearance one day......major disaster. (curses manager for not letting me leave the...
Well THAT was not very Sith Lord like. That is what I am hoping to avoid. I have worn a complete suit with the old DP standard and it was bad enough but it was...
Heat is going to be a problem! Here are a few ideas I have: 1.Pants only leather on the front, back done in cotton. 2.Black mesh panels on the back of the...
Now, I may need reminding... what exactly are RPF and RPB? I may want to join up myself. I think I'm still a member of the Darth Vader Forum, so maybe I'll go...
Although I didn't have a well-made Vader costume when I was 14 (think cardboard and electrician's tape) and I didn't have a collapsing problem due to heat...
GB- RPF is the replica prop forum. http://rpf.prop-planet.com That would be your best bet, lotsa friendly guys over there. Show them your scratch made helmet...
GB, RPF is the Replica Prop Forum http://rpf.prop-planet.com/index.php RPB is Replica Prop Board http://www.replicapropboard.com/ Similar sites for prop...
Well, the idea of using different material in the back is certainly a good one, and we all know about the fans in the helmet. Here's something that I intend to...
Well, the link isnt working. Just copy that URL into your browser. I dont know why but long links always seem to get cut off. Sorry about that! Alex ... From:...
