A new Hyperspace web doco just went up, I guess this is kinda off- topic in regards to the group but it does have some cool footage of the creature shop and...

You have all the tools you need. A good hair dryer works wonders. You can heat up just the section you want and form it without changing any other areas....
There's a folder in this groups photos section called "Dynodes" and it has really good reference shots of the real deal from a number of angles. ... ...
It certainly looks accurate enough to me. It seems to be cast off a Deluxe or something (Don Post that is) and modified. I've always had a level of respect for...
Oh, and I plan to get some shots of my reveal in progress, but my digital cam is not working. I'll see about getting one of those disposerous cameras (is...
The Riddell is *almost* accurate, but it has some detail problems. For one thing the proportions are a little off, and some of the miniaturized details are...
I thought that TK 'reveal' helmet was the real deal! Here I was thinking that they were taken at MoM... Guess it shows how good it does look. :) GB, I'm sure...

At last! My pictures. Let me know what do you think. Be nice...it's my first try. http://es.geocities.com/espadaschile/vadercostume.html Regard. David, ... ...
Everything is looking good, I see your Bodysuit turned out quite well, I think that the pleather is the route I will be taking too. You scratchbuilt that...
Yes…The helmet is taken of a Don Post Classic but I increased the measurement. I need now, cut a little more the neck because that scratches my armor all the...

That is damn good for a first try!!!! I wish my first try was like that. But I did go very cheap to start with. I am moving into a new house over Christmas...
I wasn't able to view the pictures in your album. I look forward to being able to see them though. ... the ... <boebert@h...> ... too. ... only ... to ... ...
Don't work on fiberglass indoors though. Unless you have a very good vacuum hood that constantly removes the smell until it's fully set up you will be making...
David sent me the link directly by email. I just wanted to post to the club in general that I'm very impressed. If this is a first attempt, I can't imagine...
Wow, Thanks GB, Will be a Honor! http://www.picturevillage.com/photo/showalbum.php? aid=20552&uuid=15831 Do it your self! David.(I need a nik name, any...
Man I wish I could keep up with the volume of emails I get so my responses would be more timely. The ANH material you are referring to is (IMHO) the plastic...
I also have a question reguarding Sintra. I'm fixing to go (today even) and buy some for making a friend a slave Leia costume, and thought it'd be great stuff...
Like I said in the sunbject, how did they do vaders suit for the movies. I was thinking about cutting many 1 1/2 inch strips and sew them together to make 1"...
It's posted. Let me know when you get a club nickname so I can go and add it to your link. GB ... to ... I'm ... <vessel@t...> ... increased ... job ... the ...
It's funny you should say that, because I have some of that craft mesh in my workroom, of course, and I was just looking at it thinking the very same thing....
My recommendation would be to do it in layers at a time. As you bend any material there is a greater stress on the outside of the curve, and the greater the...
That will make a *LOT* more work for yourself. Trust me, that's going to be more sewing than you will want to do, and it will be heavier and thicker because of...
Im not quite sure what you mean by layers, but I bought a huge sheet of 3mm sintra, and simply cut out the template from it. I then used a heat gun to bend it...
remeber this about the sintra, PVC glue is the BEST for adhereing it together, BUT it does not give once set, so for example, you cut 2 pieces, and glue them...
I cheated. I bought a long sleeve t-shirt. Bought the leather with batting on the back and sewed the material on the t-shirt running 1" seams. That gave me...
Has any one ever noticed that push pins (aka thumb tacks) are about the right shape for billet sensors/tusks? I was sitting at my desk today when one caught...
I used those on my first version of my Vader mask. It looked pretty good, but of course it doesn't have the knurled part, or the rounded part on top, but they...
If you can find some metal or plastic dealies that look like the knurled part, you can add the domed end by inserting a screw into it...that is if it will...
