This is the clearest image I could get, hope it's clear enough.

Thanks for the update.

nightrider, did you use flash for that picture? If so... try to get some off-set light going from lamps and such and take a picture without flash, as flash tends to wash out details.

I am Jealous..lol....That is on my before I die I must have one list...Not to be rude but After all is said and done on it what did it set you back money wise ? I always wanted to know how much money it takes for a sweet Vader like that ?Just a Ballpark would be nice...Thanks!

I actually took the pic without flash, I don't understand why it came out so blurry. I took several shot and they were all the same, I'll try and take a better one later.

As for price, I was fortunate enough to be able to work out some trades for many of the pieces and came out cheaper on this one than my first Vader which was actually nowhere near as accurate as this one. Here's a break-down of what you could expect to spend though if you were out of pocket for everything.

JB Helmet-$850
JB Armor-$700?
LA Suit-$400
KevVader Robes-$600?
Gloves-$40
Chestbox-$500
Belt Boxes-$500?
Boots-$75
Shins-$60

Some of those re just estimates, others may know more accurate prices for some of the pieces.

Okay, here's a cleaner shot.:thumbsup

The billet switches will be replaced with more accurate ones soon, these are just some off an old GT box.
