    If i am right it looks like your vader chest box has the ROTJ lettering on it?

    And your helmet is flat black like the ROTS vader instead of 2 tone Black and gunmetal like all the OT vaders.

    what type of vader are you going for ROTS, ANH, ESB or ROTJ ?

  2. Looks great...I think you meant "muscle suit" not "musical suit", though a musical suit would be pretty cool.

    I'm sorry i was reading music while i was typing LMAO

    lets see a frontal shot?

    I'll have to look on my comp i deleted almost all of the shots of that suit since i sold it, that was a shot i still had in my photobucket

    found 2

  3. We have around four Vaders in our group, too. Only one of them IMHO is 'right' for Vader, yet he only stands at about 6'2.

    If I was 6'5 and had a big chest, you're darn right I'd be sporting a Vader costume!

    I stand 5'11 and 145 pounds my last vader costume i stood 6'5 and with a foam muscle suit i made at the time. I filled out the costume well i think

    hope i'm not hijacking

  4. Yeah, people in the know will know, but probably no one else. Considering that most Vaders seem to start at $2500 and go to $4000+, the fact that you can do good one for the cost of a TK is quite impressive, IMHO.

    I guess if you were the prime Vader in your garrison & it was your primary costume it might be an issue, but if you're a backup Vader I think it's fantastic.

    I've *love* to be able to do a Vader, but at 6' I'm just way too short. :(

    thats what shoe lifts are for

  5. Your vader is Great for a 1000 bucks but if put up next to an accurate vader the differences are as plan as a TE next to an FX suit. I'm not knocking you or anything but i have spent alot of time on vader. Talking with people and dealing with people who are the best in the biz.

    Here is a shot of Gino's ESB that i am sure is worth way more then 5grand

  6. For under 1000 bucks I would say you did well.... My ANH vader project has been going on for over a year now and has cost me almost 3 Times your vader but I am aiming for accuracy...... God it's is so costly

  7. great hero helmet!

    especially here in a sandtrooper related forum we don´t see that much hero helmets, but your´s surely has the look!

    great result!
