Re: Check Out My New Vader!

Looks great!! Very imposing! I like that Carbonite Han too!
 
Re: Check Out My New Vader!

Thats really nice. What did you use for a BODY?

Thanks! Like I said back on page 1, I made the mannequin from PVC pipes, wire and bubble wrap. This is a temp. solution until i can get something better :)

Thanks again,
 
Re: Check Out My New Vader!

Cool Vader! Thanks for listing your resources as I am slowly beginning my build here. Do you ever wear the outfit, or is it just for display?
 
Re: Check Out My New Vader!

Beautiful work. Why does it matter if your manaquin is made of bubble wrap or not. You said you plan to change it, but why? looks great to me.
 
Re: Check Out My New Vader!

Don't be so hard on yourself. It's a great looking figure. I wasn't sure if it was on a mannequin or on a person. Very lifelike!
 
Re: Check Out My New Vader!

Sorry, I didn't take any pics while I was building it. It's just a simple PVC skeleton with wire joints in the arms. Then I fattened him up with rolls and rolls and rolls of bubble wrap.

Here are a couple pics of Vader with his roommate:

Thanks again!

who's that man on the wall? :confused
 
Re: Check Out My New Vader!

Do you mind if I ask how you have your Vader supported? As in, what type of underlying "skeleton" are you using?

I have pieces for my lifesize Vader, but I have no idea how to go about creating a skeleton/stand.

Thanks!

EDIT
I'm a fool. Found my answer on second page:

Very nice Vader! Would never have guessed the suit was on a pvc pipe mannequin. Very impressive result
 
Re: Check Out My New Vader!

Thanks! I'm still tweaking the mannequin, and I recently changed his pose.

Here are a few new pics:
