Re: My Star Wars costumes...
Hey thanks for the complements! The Vader revealed look was something i always wanted to do because its really a pain in the a** wearing the helmet all night... so the makeup is mostly a full latex bald cap that i scored on eBay several years ago... it was fan made and came unfinished but it covered my whole head and already included the main head and face scaring... it just needed to be trimmed and painted... so i trimmed it up and cut out holes barely big enough for my ears to fit thru, and had one of my good friends, who is a very talented painter/designer, help me out with the detail on the scaring and stuff on the head piece using acrylics and then applied the head piece my self using spirit gum and lots of latex to blend the edges... then just applied water based make up with a stippling sponge to blend the burn effect... the whole make up process took about 4 hours (not including the time spent on painting the head piece) I also had some nice sith contacts from crazy eyes, and the jaw piece was made piece by piece over time from an old school rubies mask and lots of random parts bought on eBay... I was pretty pleased with the result...
The best part was the look on peoples faces when my wife's car blew a fuse under the hood on the highway and i had to jump out and fix it... not everyday u see Burnt Vader fixin a car on the highway...
