Thanks, I'm hoping to one day add a quasimodo to my collection as well.

The mannequin that I am using is a pretty standard 6ft shop mannequin that has been extensively modified. The hight has been increased, the shoulders widened, arms lengthened (not yet finished) and the body has been heavily bulked up to prowse size. With the helmet on, my Vader stands at just...

I bought the lenses off a member on ebay. Fenixprops. I bought both his amber and red lenses but installed the amber. I liked the look of the red, but amber is more true to the film

Hi everyone, After moving house again, I've recommenced work on my Vader again. This project has been going on for years now, on and off, but I'm now getting to the cool part; seeing major parts painted and on the verge of being finished. This is the exciting part of the project. Here is the...

Love this helmet!!! Can't wait to see it finished!!!

Re: WIP ANH Darth Vader - Photo Update Post #51 Thanks :) I'm hoping that handling it will add some natural wear and tear. I was also thinking about trialing things steel wool to create a worn look.
