Hi.
I am making my own Darth Vader ANH costume for a budget of under €500. I have a lot of propmaking experience and have been using silicone molds and resin for a long time. Today I started making the pants. Knowing that only the front of the thighs will be visible I took and old pair of bluejeans and opened up the seams. Added fake leather to the front of the thighs and made all the seams along the legs. I could not quite get the bubbly apperance of the original but close. One leg took allmost 2 hours so its slow work.
I also made the chest box out of wood, will ad pictures with description and prices for those who are interrested.
The Helmet, shoulder armour and leg armour along with the gloves are the things I have to buy, the rest will be homemade.
