Darth Vader Saber and severed hand

[moffeaton]

What do you guys think?

 

[Art Andrews]

think you need to work on it a little more. Just not quite realistic enough. Where are the burn marks and all? And that is not a screen accurate glove at all....

 

[Darth Detroit]

Not bad. I would singe the edges of the leather, and char the brass parts too though. Just my 2 cents :thumbsup

 

[JaseTheHACK]

OK- I'll call it-

Screen used.

PS- What do I win?

Impressive.

I'm STILL trying to figure out how guys get invites there.

 

[TomSpinaDesigns]

hey, that stuff looks familliar.

I'm sure you guys had a great day... Bob's a super guy..

Tom

 

[moffeaton]

He remembers you and Brandon as "super talented guys" and says hi. Seems like yo need to send him a mask, lol - he loved your work.

So say we all.~

 

[TomSpinaDesigns]

Thanks man... glad to hear. Would be nice to have a piece of my work in Bob's basement. Hmmmm

What saber is that? It doesn't look like the usual vader rotj..

 

[Clutch]

Yeah the wrist doesn't look like it was 'cut'. I hear that Bob is lugging some of his Alien/Aliens collection to Wonderfest this year. Wh00t.

 

[moffeaton]

I'm sure the wrist wasn't cut so much as "launched" from a wrist mechanism, maybe?

 

[Darth Lars]

You got to fondle the real "severed hand" saber? :eek

So... what material are those grips anyway? You should have taken detailed measurements. There are people here who are very interested in a run of highly accurate grips.

the "real" one, i think, was just mounted on a ball joint. probably set to loose and when hit with the stunt saber, pop off. vaders forearm grows about 5 inches or so in that shot when hes wobbling on the stairs.

i remember a set of pics involving a guy holding it (friggin giant hand too), and another where they showed off the scotchlite properties with a flash on the camera.
