My Finished ESB Vader !!

[ArtisanProps]

Well, After a year of intense work this is my finished Vader..
I had a little trouble with lighting, I'm not the best Photographer so,
While i love the pics I will Probably take more to try to capture what he
looks like in person
Thanks to everyone who helped me, You've all been a great help to Me, and
Everyone else for that matter


Here's a rundown of the parts of my Vader Costume

Helmet: Me I casted it from a friends Helmet, but since this subject is touchy i will just say the Originals origins are unknown
Armor: Ghost Host (Nice Guy and hell of a nice set of armor)
Chest Plate: Gino (Gino is the only way to go for this piece)
Leather Suit: TMP ( Fantastic quality in size 46,46,42 this suit is a must for anyone wanting their vader to look the best)
Belt Boxes: Me (Something i've started to make for other people)
Gloves: Me (A pair of Leather Gloves I Modified..I'm also considering making these too)
Cod: Me (Can't believe I'm still making these for everyone I'm glad you all love them)
Cape and Robe: Me ( I really wanted Kevvader to do mine but he had a slight set back on scheduling)
Shin Guard's: Sith Armor ( I really couldn't turn down these at the price he's offering them )
Boots: Ebay ( They had a Pair of size 13 extra wide Riding boots, so i jumped all over them )

Wow, that looks AWESOME.

That is a spectacular job. You should be proud.

Is that a mannequin or are you wearing it? ('cause if you're wearing it you really nailed that Vader look).

Any chance you took some picture of the bulked up mannequin. I'd love to see how you did the arms and hands to get the "hands on belt" pose. Pretty please???

Actually No I didn't take any pictures of him with just the padding and that's not like me..I can tell you that I first used 1" foam around his body and then cut out pieces still using the 1" I cut out Chest and Stomach musles and Glued them onto the Foam that was already on his body.. and that was it.. after you put everythig (armor, cape, ex.) on it really comes together.. the thumbs are behind the belt keeping the hands in that pose and in place, but I plan on making a permanant way to attach them
