Very cool suit,man.
The new armor looks also very good.

Thank you .

My Noisetrigger gloves arrive safely on the front lawn .

 

[vader45]

For old time sake. My original set up.

Does this scream vintage or not?

I received new wooden articulated hands but i have not been home to attach them to the mannequin. Hope to do it soon!

Oh and a new updated Cod is ordered from Doug/Artisan Props before he permanently closed his list for good.

Doug will be no longer making Vader parts?!

That's correct. I got on his list before he closed it for good. I received my cod today!

The top is an old cod I bought in 2012 and the bottom is one of his last cods. It's lighter thinner smaller yet more accurate!

2 more weeks Shadow FX has quoted me on for my new helmet. I can't wait to suit up again!

I just ordered a new belt from this Etsy seller since Doug stopped making belts when he got to my order!

Black Leather Press Stud Snap Belt Choice of Widths & Press Studs Handmade Real Leather Add Your Own Buckle

I asked the lines to be placed like the belt in the costume book. Despite no stud next to the buckle the rest of the detail does match all of the reference material I have such as line placement and the different shades of the green lense covers.

Great work on this, this looks incredible. You really fill out the Vader costume, how tall are you? The proportions seem pretty good!

Thank you! I'm only 6' so I wear 3" lifts. I also wear a padded shirt underneath the suit. Some shots are on a mannequin so I hope you don't confuse those with worn shots at events. All of my worns are with my old Kent Stone helmet and armor. I'm waiting on a new helmet so I can suit up again with my new helmet and armor.

How about this?

My new mannequin hands can hold the lightsaber.

Couple more shots.

Update on my helmet from Shadow FX.

It's almost done! It just needs cut buffed and everything installed. This helmet is very sexy!

I really can't wait to suit up again!

 

[Halliwax]

Really nice piece man... super shiny!!

 

[vader45]

Vader patiently awaits his new bucket while standing on n his new favorite spot!

This is what happens when one is up late and bored. Moving stuff around!

I was hoping to have the helmet in hand for this event but I don't see it happening. Shadow FX told me he has no set time frame for the buffing but said it's very close.

I may go as Esb pilot Luke to fit in with the theme!

 

[vader45]

My Shadow FX helmet arrived!

I can finally troop again!
