Interesting vader fact

At Memorabilia the other day, I got a very short chat with Brian (or is ot Bryan - I always get them mixed up) about the original vader helmet.

DID YOU KNOW...
... That aparently, the round bit at the 'nose' of the original vader helmet is the shape of Brians thumb, as he used that to sculpt around....
... And you can take that to the bank...

... Or did you guys already know this and I'm just waaaaay behind everyone?

Just thought it'd be an amusing little fact...

Before anyone asks about the whole AA thing - I don't know enough facts to get involved in that, so I'm staying out of it...

I never new that.

Billy

I thumb my nose at it.

Pretty cool fact... very cool...

I knew that. It was what old RM and GL said to Mollo and Muir. Make Vaders nose the size of your thumb.

:P Thanks for sharing, interesting.

It&#39;s interesting little facts like that are neat to hear about. Especially when talking about classic iconic characters.

Great little tidbit. Thanks.

I have no idea . Thanks for the info&#33;

Was at Toys R Us tonight and stuck my thumb in Vaders nose to demonstrate for friends.

i didnt know that at all.... cool new tidbit

but, i would avoid putting any digits in lord vaders nose.. it doesnt sound very hygenic

Ya he showed that to me as well...that&#39;s one way how to tell an original...Vader&#39;s left side of the U-shape is more tapered...and the right side is more square...like his thumb

Right... so who is offering casts of Brian&#39;s thumb?

I&#39;m in for two.

That&#39;s great little factoid, thanks for mentioning that&#33;

I&#39;ve put my thumb in Vader&#39;s nose before and wondered about this but never knew it was actually how Brian did it&#33;

I&#39;m too lazy... it sits too far away...

Thant&#39;s funny i always wondered about that part.. My Thumb fits Perfect...Wow the things people use to aid them in sculpting is Cool

Well, I just put my thumb in my Vader for the first time. Guess I&#39;m no longer a Vader nose virgin...

I&#39;ll admit it..........I&#39;ve done that so many times....what with all the helmets I&#39;ve painted over the years. I&#39;m ashamed to admit it, but my thumb has been up the noses of so many other people&#39;s vader helmets that I should probably start a support group...........LOL
