STAR WARS (Samurai Darth Vader)

I know I've been terrible at updating here, but at the same time we had to take a break from this to try and finish the Ronin Fett armor. Looking at attaching the jetpack tonight ;) so definitely swing by that thread. Any ways alot has been done since the last update, mostly by my wife's hand she had been sewing the panels that hang down from her waist. Last night she was able to finish them and I was able to complete strapping for the most part, need to probably re-do some stuff so it will hold better to her body.

Here is the list of Items we where able to buy and finish in the past couple of days leading to this almost complete version.

Made Items:
Waist panels
Waist belt
Tonto blade on waist- made form MDF wood
Fo-leather Panels

Bought Items:
Red Rope for belt
Platform shoes (still need to make a foam shell for the outer layer design)
Gloves
Flight Suit- black

So here is one progress shot, I was very terrible with updating the shots but once I get back into this project and have more time on my hands I promise more to come. These are the leather panels my wife finished last night.

After that assembly of everything was put together and we test fitted everything right before midnight on May 4th what great timing!!!

Now I know given her size its not scaled to exact Vader specification, but my wife is a petite 5 foot tall lady so I'm pretty satisfied how it turned out with what I had to work with. (Evelin if you are reading this don't get mad, I love how short you are :love....)
Anyways I'm hoping once the cape is finished and we start assembling the shoes, I can capture the real essence of the Bandai Tamashii Nations Action figure.
This weekend we will be attending Anime Fan Fest in New Jersey Debuting this, If you see us come up and say high we love to geek out with other makers and Star Wars enthusiasts. And for those who don't attend, keep your eyes peeled for future updates with the cape, shoe design and assembly, and Custom Lightsaber we will be making for this.
Until next time!
 
Already have a 3d model just need to print, I'm hoping to have it done within the next 2 weeks. This past weekend we had to use a standard Darth Vader Saber for a convention we attended but definitely need to change that ;)
 
So this Past weekend we debuted our builds at Anime fan Fest in NJ, and we walked away with Best in show!!! Such an amazing weekend and we had the pleasure of meeting other makers and nerding out. Cant wait for another one. Just going to throw up some pics taken by our favorite Photographer Jason Laboy for now. But don't worry this build is far from finished we still have much do, and I have to remember to take better progress shots haha.
