My ANH Vader costume- LOTS of pics

Yes, thanks for the detailed post! Great job! I am realizing the ANH Vader is my fav.

I am getting more and more inspired to finish my Vader, the reason I joined the RPF in the first place.

WOW, that looks fantastic. I'm totally impressed with your DPCA conversion, it's bloody brilliant, great work:thumbsup

I know you have quite the Vader helmet collection, that means a lot coming from an expert like you. The helmet was lots of fun, let me tell 'ya.....

Looks really good! I like seeing the rather unique helmet set-up too.

It is kinda weird, but I just wasn't happy with most of the Vader helmets I could afford except the fiberglass Don Post. Sure I'd love a JB or GH or SPFX or VM or anything, but all of them are just too rich for my current financial condition. I did want a really big ANH style dome with a sharp top ridge, and the Italian one was exactly what I was looking for.

It's not easy to get the overall proportions correct for a wearable Vader costume but it looks grerat. The amount of work you put in really shows and it looks like it's getting a great reception with the public. There's nothing more rewarding than finishing a suit like that and others getting enjoyment out of seeing Darth Vader in person. Sure we could discuss accuracy all day but in the end it is how much you, and your fans, enjoy the suit that's important. And at least for me the fun of having (or had) a suit is constantly improving it. Thanks for sharing! :thumbsup
