Well, there are some amazing costumes in the ANH and ROTJ threads. Now let's see some of the ESB Vader.
I have a feeling that this is going to be the shortest of the 3 threads.

So, let's see 'em.

Cheers,

Kraig

Edit- Spelling :unsure
 
I just love these threads... just a little stomped that I cannot contribute at all, as I'm not a costume guy, but am really looking forward to seeing what people got. :thumbsup
 
My in progress ESB Vader.

Had to get some money:

I think mine is mostly ESB, I'm not overly concerned with being accurate to a single film, just wanted a Vader. All criticism welcome.

I sold all the parts from my ESB version to make way for my WIP ANH Vader, but here are some old pics of what it looked like. Not super accurate, but I learned a lot from building it. I finished all the hard parts, including the helmet from kit form, myself:

Hopefully within the next couple of months I'll be able to post some new pics with updated items.

Hey, I didn't know you were Kelli's man. Her costume website is awesome, I check it every few months for new stuff. I was at ComicCon in '04 and '05 but managed to miss her completely except she was the first ever CC photograph that I took on my first time in '04.

I'm hoping to get a pic with her in '07.

I would expect that the bulk of the Vaders out there are ESB? This should be the largest of the three threads...nice pics so far.

Mines not really accurate, but I guess its closer to ESB than ROTJ...
Feel free to rip into it regarding innacuracies :)

NEVER... This isn't an accuracy thread, this is a show off thread and if you have the kahuna's (SP) to do a Vader you should be commended... Not a lot of people have the time, talent or money to do so, but if you did you deserve praise.

You've done well my friend and so have every other Vader builder in this trio of threads.

Sometimes it's not about how much money we can throw at Vader, it's about the effort put in.

Cheers,

Kraig
 
Another great post Kraig, you're very insightful lately. :)

I'd like to add that it is also about the passion you have for the character that also makes a big difference. Some people build a Vader for no other reason than to show him off. Others who truely care about the character build him for pride and happiness.
