Vader's height??

[Hedjii72]

I had the exact same problem. I had a huge area below the chestbox. I went back down to 6'4" for the mannequin, and that all but disappeared.

For my display, I am using the flexible mannequin from DarkShadow. This comes already bulked-up to Prowse's measurements. It is very flexible and can be posed into any position.

got any pics? his normal-sized ones rock.

 

[ddocvjm]

No pics yet but all the measurements are Prowse sized. ( height, chest, shoulders, waist, biceps, forearms, etc.)

Just saw the 1980 Clapperboard show - Dave Prowse states he's 6.6

Prowse told me that when he played Vader he was 6'7". Don't know if it's true, but that's what he said.

In the Clapperboard interview it's what he says.
It's from the horses mouth so to speak. - I'll see if I can put the clip somewhere for you guys.

Ok this is what I have found. I went to Dave's personal site and went to his image gallery. Found one with him standing standing straight with Lou Ferrigno. Have to take into consideration perspective Lou is farther away from camera so he will appear smaller. Lou's stats

Height: 6' 5"

Weight: 275 lbs

Now ofcourse we all shrink with age and we do not now if Lou is standing on his toes or a box... :lol . So I will let everyone else be the judge.... :unsure.

David told me personally that he was 6.7 tall and wearing the costume he was 7 feet tall.

I just thought i would get in on this a little
I think the mannequin being talked about is good if you don't alter his torso.. it seems to me
that David Prowse is more leggie then anything so if you just try and maybee get a bigger heel
or maybe just leave the mannequen as it is you should end up with really good results :thumbsup
