I got a new Vader helmet in the mail today!!!

[Anakin Starkiller]

Well today my stunt vader helmet arrived in the mail and I am totally psyched. This is the first Vader helmet (well except for the Rubies supreme) that I have owned, and it is of course still unfinsihed, but I am nevertheless really excited. Any tips from the pros?

Here is the Kit

I can't offer tips, but I CAN say that is a damn fine looking kit.

Awesome, I read about that before...made the duel scenes easier... never saw a kit like that...

Thanks for the support. Mike did a great job with this kit, and I'm really excited about working on it.

It's also quite accurate. The Stunt helmet of ESB was worn by Bob Anderson. The cheeks were cut out and replaced with film, and the neck was cut away and replaced with a see-through piece of polycarbonate.

This following prop photo courtesy of Jez' site shows what I'm talking about. The see-through piece of the neck is broken a little. VaderMonkey's kit has quite a resemblance.

There was a chap making these on the RPB a while back. He used the original helmet as reference, IIRC.

Not sure if these are from the same source, but they look very nice indeed.

Nice kit!

Also, I just figured it out! IIRC: "If I remember correctly" I had been wondering about that one.

Same guy... and the kit, from what I have seen, is superb. :thumbsup

Oh man... so tempting. That would be an awesome trooping helmet for those areas where I'm terrified I'll trip over people.
