How big is Vader's chestbox?

[Jumpin Jax]

Rough details, how many inches square, roughly how tall? Thanks,
JJ

Well it all depends on which one your going for. There is big differance in inches, width and Height between ANH and ESB/ROTJ. C

Like what?

Ok, anyone WITH a box want to throw out some dimensions? Doesn't really matter which one, hence the term "rough." Any, all, whatever :cool

I heard from a few VERY RELIABLE sources that the ESB and ROTJ are 6.7/8 square while the ANH is 7 inches square.
I've got the same Honeywell light covers that were used on the ANH (on the ESB and Jedi too) when you blow up a photo of the box to the above measurements the light covers are exactly the same size as the Honywell ones I have.

7", perfect for what I'm on to. I'm going to whip up a quick and dirty mold and needed a rough parameter.
Thanks man, and that avatar cracks me the **** up :lol

There ya go...

I forgot to ask, about how tall is the ANH box?

 

[darthvaderv]

Tall? It should be more or less the same all round,(6.7/8 - 6.15/16) as a square. Although ANH is not a perfect square all round.
See the thread about the ANH chestbox in the Costume forum, that may help :thumbsup

 

[defstartrooper]

I think he means the height as in how thick it is

 

[darthvaderv]

"1".038 thick for ANH if memory serves.

That's 1.038 inches?

 

[darthvaderv]

Correct :thumbsup

I thank you all for your help in the matter! The sizes mentioned above are ones I had found before from internet searching, but the person who posted them wasn't sure about it. I too matched sizes to picture with the coin slots I got off of eBay, but that was way after built my box. I patterned mine from some Star Wars reference magazine from the 80's and again, was pretty badly off! The only measurement I need now is the thickness of the box, not including the switches, buttons, etc.
