Re: Check Out My New Vader!
Thanks for the complements!
Helmet/Armor: This was a "w-c-fx" set purchased unfinished off of Ebay. If I had known this was SPFX I would have gone elsewhere - deal with this seller at your own risk! I have heard of people who got ripped off by this guy. I waited 2 months and had to get ebay involved, but he finally delivered. I painted these myself. It was originally ESB-style, but I modified it to ROTJ prior to painting. I made the cape hook from a piece of brass rod.
Cape, robe, leather suit, and gloves: all purchased fro Ebay member "argentina-worldwide-custom-props" Top notch seller, and quick turn-around.
Fiberglass Shins are from Ebay seller "southwestpropshop" - theses are a bit rough arounds the edges, but the price was right.
Cod piece: RPF Member: 'Artison Props'. Best/most accurate cod I've ever seen and a great person to deal with as well!
Chest box: RPF member 'Ace Replicas' machined aluminum ESB chest box. This thing is just crazy cool, and he's also a great guy to deal with.
Belt: I scratch-built the boxes/electronics and cut/died the leather. The buckle came from ebay. I removed the glossy powder coat from the back plate, and then painted it flat black and weather it. The green lights came from RPF member "tk2647" and the other greeblies were sourced locally.
Thanks again for the comments!
