My Vader Reveal - LOTS of pics

[Reel Fakes]

Hey gang,

I've been working on this for the past few months (not counting the years I spent gathering parts).
This is actually the second reveal I've done, so I already had a lot of the parts, but this one is a lot more accurate than my last effort.
It's based on a Ketzer casting I got in the junkyard a few months ago. There are still a few "place holder" parts, but I'm satisfied with it for now. It fits together nice, and look awesome so what more could a guy ask right?

Check out the attached pics and tell me what you think!

Wow! I wish I had half your skill and patience. If I tried that, people wouldn't be able to tell what I'd made!

Fantastic work. It shows how a Reveal should look like. I especially like that it doesnt look like a Frankenstein Vader (Sideshow) when dome and mask are connected...no visable bolts or anything like that.....very well done.

You´ve sourced a Ketzer cast ???

Wow, that looks awesome!!!
I am still hesitant to start my own, since I plan to upgrade my natty15d mask and don´t want to slap all my real/ metal parts on it...just to discover a better base is being offered

What are the origins of the Ketzer Cast? What makes it that good compared to other ROTJ casts?

 

[rorschach999]

I concur! This is the probably the only Reveal Helmet I've seen that has done that the best!

Thanks guys!

I came into this thread thinking, "oh another reveal...well let me look cause Vader is awesome so why not."

a few seconds later and my jaw was on the floor. WOOOOOWWWW! Talk about detail! I don't think I have ever seen the inside part of the upper facemask done like that before...so freaking cool!
