SCRIBBLER Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Aloha, All! I've been making some pretty good progress with my next build (Yes, S.W.A.T. status is going to have to wait yet again.) I'm shooting for late-Summer / early-Fall in terms of completion. I want this to appear as accurate as possible. Being FIlipino-Hawaiian (Samoan) who likes to surf and play b-ball, I think a muscular build will be no problem. Anyway, here are some pics of my attempt at one of our 2 bosses...lol Scribbler's ANH VADER build so far (with some of my 'scribbles' shown, as well. haha) ... My workspace (Nice to be able to work from home...) Y'all know that I gotta represent the Legion! Right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthChridan Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Yoooo...really fat Which armour is this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCRIBBLER Posted January 27, 2013 Author Share Posted January 27, 2013 @ Daniel - Not sure honestly. I got the helmet from a fellow Garrison member 2 years ago and the armor shown is one of 2 different ones that I have. The other (not shown) is Portumac. The cape and inner robe will be ready in a couple of weeks. The 'breathing unit' and voice modulator will be the final purchase. I have everything else. Man...this project is $$$$$. I think it might be my last, as well. Whew! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotty Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Vader is not easy to do. I have just about finished my ROTJ Vader, it has taken some time but worth it. Good luck with the build Michael, its alot of fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smally Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Gotta love this build, Mike. Any further on it? Quick question: What make are those X-wings you've got hanging in your man cave? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCRIBBLER Posted February 21, 2013 Author Share Posted February 21, 2013 @ Smally - Those are the Hasbro Vader is not easy to do. I have just about finished my ROTJ Vader, it has taken some time but worth it. Good luck with the build Michael, its alot of fun. Thanks a lot, Scott! Yes, I totally agree and feel that it will be worth it when it's done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCRIBBLER Posted February 21, 2013 Author Share Posted February 21, 2013 Gotta love this build, Mike. Any further on it? Quick question: What make are those X-wings you've got hanging in your man cave? I should have the VADER up and about by Summer. $$$$$ (Fingers extremely crossed! lol) As for the X-Wings, they are 3 different variations of the same 'new' Hasbro design. I just modded the DAGOBAH one to show the markings of BIGGS (and put his figure and droid in it). The one in the middle is the 'Electronic' version (lights and sounds) with the permanent Luke pilot and the other is the WEDGE version. ...and last but not least I usually refer to them as Rebel Trophies! Muahahahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havoc6538 Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Yep, Vader's not cheap, but you get such a great reaction when you wear it, then you have to spend your day trying to act like an evil Sith lord but with the biggest smile on your face. Once my Sandy is finished, I'll be taking my 6 year old Vader costume off-line for a bit for upgrades (armour and helmet mainly). Your kit looks great so far, really nice helmet and armour. (And loving your man cave too.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
