It will be my first costume build and it will involve a lot of vacuforming and will be something that as far as I know, none else has built. With that said, I prefer to do stuff that is very unique. I have looked at a lot of stuff here and I forever humbled by the contributors on this forum. They never cease to amaze me with their imagination and abilities. I would suggest that you not look to buy and enhance something that someone else built. I understand that apprehension at starting from the ground up but the reward is worth it. As far subject matter, I would suggest heading in the direction of popular but different. What I mean by this is look for something popular like star wars but rather than building a screen correct Darth Vader, look at some of the concept artwork from McQuarrie. His take on what Vader would look like is similar but very different from how we see him in the films. Someone has already done this example but it’s a great illustration on how a different approach to something so iconic can be realized. A genre that has become popular is Streampunk and a Steampunk Darth Vader would be cool. But you can apply this method to all sorts of things. I have seen a steampunk Boba Fet that was completely original and the artist pulled it off perfectly. So with these different approaches you can take the popular and build something very unique.I hope this helps, and spend some time looking at some of the builds here to get inspiration.</blockquote>
