This just Reaffirms why I should start investing into a Vader :hs:

First and foremost, I will never take pictures of myself in tight t-shirts AGAIN...for the record, Im working on it :unsure

I was part of a troop this past weekend in Pensacola for the Ronald McDonald house Plane pull event. Unfortunatly, we never got to pull a plane...they kept finding other replacements for missing spots. :confused

Anyways, one 501st member from Georgia, who trooped as a Vader aloud me to put on some of the gear. Despite the helmet being a tad too tight, everything he had fit me perfectly. My shoulders line up directly with the bells, the cape is just the right length. Although not seen, he had rubies shins which too, fit me perfectly.

*sigh*

For my stats, I am 6'6" tall and 316lbs

Just a hypothetical question- What QUALITY vader parts would someone offer me in a trade for a set of MR westars? From what little I do know, I dont think I'd get much, but Im just curious. If I were to do a vader at some point, I'd go ESB

Sweet dude. If you are 6'6" you HAVE to be Vader!! Even if you have a slight gut, the Vader suit can hide that a little. Vertical lines do wonders

Anyway, go for it!!!

Just start buying the costume 1 piece at a time.

It took me almost 4 years to get a complete set-up. Cost was about $2000 but spread out over 4 years it was minimal. I made what I could, painted it myself, looked for deals, balanced accuracy with what I could afford.

I started with this:

That was a good deal if she came with the upgrades! Score! :lol

tubachris85x, you definitely got the height and from what I can see, a good stance. I think ESB would suit you well.

I want my binkie


Seriously though, I would absolutly LOVE to do a Vader. I have a problem of wanting to one thing one day, then another suit another day. I just never have the money I need to get any of this gear in one shot. I try to save money, but that never seems to work out for me
