Show off thread: ANH darth vader

[darth buffalo]

Hi guys

Want to show off my ANH darth vader
First of all I want to thank the persons that made this project possible for providing parts and valuable information.
A big thank you to: Ghost Host, Vaderdarth, Sithlord, Russrep, Artisan props, kurtyboy and others I may forget

HereÂ’s a taster, later there will follow more detailed pics

[PantheraGem]

Can't be too many Vaders, or too many pics of them. Cool. :thumbsup

 

[HAL9000]

I don't know what it is but that pose reminds me of Homer Simpson - I think it's
the light catching the eye areas. :lol :lol

Otherwise - looks cool :thumbsup :thumbsup

Looking great :thumbsup Well done.

Can I make a helmet paint suggestion though?

I'll wait for a response before I make my suggestion as I don't want to derail your impressive Vader show off thread. He really does look great, it's just that I spotted something. I'm happy to do it via PM if you don't want it in the thread, it's just that it's something that will make you go "Oh, ok that makes a difference".

Cheers,

Kraig

Is that you in the suit? Looks excellent. :thumbsup

Ok, this is by no means a critique.

ANH Vader's eye lids were black on both sides, however, the right eye (left if you're looking face on) the black stops at the bottom of the crease and at the top of the nose bridge. The left ( right looking face on) has black on his lash but goes all the way around, including the flat part of the nose, leaving the curved bit going towards the slots silver. I made that change on my first Vader and it looked so much different. I'm no expert though.

Here's a pic of one of my ANH Vaders....

See the crease on the right eye (left looking at it) how it stops and is an almost straight line. Also the thin brow should remain silver.

MAN I suck at explaining things, but I hope you get what I mean.

Well done Mate, it does look great.

Cheers,

Kraig
