Interesting vader fact

[uk trooper]

At Memorabilia the other day, I got a very short chat with Brian (or is ot Bryan - I always get them mixed up) about the original vader helmet.

DID YOU KNOW...
... That aparently, the round bit at the 'nose' of the original vader helmet is the shape of Brians thumb, as he used that to sculpt around....
... And you can take that to the bank...

... Or did you guys already know this and I'm just waaaaay behind everyone?

Just thought it'd be an amusing little fact...

Before anyone asks about the whole AA thing - I don't know enough facts to get involved in that, so I'm staying out of it...

I knew that. It was what old RM and GL said to Mollo and Muir. Make Vaders nose the size of your thumb.

Thanks for sharing, interesting.

Ya he showed that to me as well...that's one way how to tell an original...Vader's left side of the U-shape is more tapered...and the right side is more square...like his thumb :thumbsup

 

[HAL9000]

Right... so who is offering casts of Brian's thumb?

I'm in for two.
:thumbsup :thumbsup

That's great little factoid, thanks for mentioning that.

I've put my thumb in Vader's nose before and wondered about this but never knew it was actually how Brian did it.
