My ANH Darth Vader costume

[snedders1]

I have just completed my ANH Vader costume.
What do you think ?

The Helmet and chest armor was from SPFX

the belt and chest box was made from someone of this forum so not sure as to where all the parts came from.

The cod piece was from corpse guy on Ebay

gloves from Ebay

Body suit and cape and robe from custom props.

I have just to add the saber hook to the belt.

Looks great from thumbnails. Having trouble loading full size pics.

Please use photobucket or some other outside service as the on-board attached picture option is really slow and freezes my computer.

From what I saw it looked rather nice. :thumbsup

Looks great to me! Not being any sort of a Vader expert, I would be interested if your post contained more information, the source of your parts, what you may have modified, what you are still (if anything) working on.

So, tell us more. Thanks!

Ah, now that's working better. For ANH I think you should push the belt boxes closer in towards the belt buckle. And... you're missing the lightsaber. Is that a coming addition?

Thanks, Thanks for the advise. Saber will be next to add.

looks good.

Very good costume there. My only suggestion is to see if there's a way to make the torso portion of your suit have more wrinkles. Everything else makes a very passable Vader.

Buddy of mine suggested taking the leather suit, wadding it up in a big ball as tight as you can and wrap rubber bands around it to hold it in place......or string or whatever you have..............leave it for a few days. Then it will have the familiar ANH suit wrinkles in it.

That's the equivalent of what we bachelors do when we don't fold our clothes immediately after taking it out of the dryer. Good thinking! :lol

I've heard that you should mist (MIST ONLY) with a little bit of water before you wad it up into a ball.

Nice! ANH has always been my fav

Easy solutions are sometimes so close, if we're only willing to think different :lol

 

[vaderdarth]

Yes the water will help hold those wrinkles produced by the wadding up process.
