Sweet! Are those taken with your mannequin or are you in there?
 
Re: ANH & ESB DARTH VADER - finally complete!! - new b&w series post#103

WONDERFUL representation!!!

One thing I´m still in awe about is the flexibility/ poseability of your mannequin (esp. the arms):love!

You already mentioned that you built it yourself using "simple" techniques, bubblewrap over a wire-armature...

With all the pics you´ve taken of your DV standups, do you happen to have any pics of the bare mannequin?
I´m sure there are quite a few people, who´d like to improve their own displays, so your input would be HIGHLY appreciated ;)

Any and all information how you´ve constructed/ modified the mannequin would be a massive help.

Thanks in advance :thumbsup

Thanks guys!

As far as the mannequins go, I didn't use any bubble wrap, just heavily modified run of the mill fiberglass mannequins and foam. No bubble wrap.
I've never taken any pics with the suit off. Maybe the next time I have to completely undress one of them I will.

Bubblewrap will lose its air over time. Not a good choice for filler.
 
Re: ANH & ESB DARTH VADER - finally complete!! - new b&w series post#103

For sure. Definitely stay away from bubble wrap. Best to go with foam.

foam is good. I also use it for all my pose-able Star Wars stand up figures. But it only lasts for around 15-20 years. After that it becomes brittle and transforms to dust. Cotton wool, which I also use, lasts "forever".

Wow - they look so accurate that they should be in the LF Archives!
They would be so much better than the hotch potch displays that tour about.
These displays look like they've just walked off the set of each film - amazing/ obsessive :)

Probably a bit late in on it, but the force choke picture tells the best story. :)

Thanks guys.

Here's a new one with one of my pics photoshopped onto a background.
Going for that production photo look.
