Thanks everyone for the compliments!! I don't get to create many new things these days but every year for our local con I somehow manage to drive myself over the limit and get something huge done
Is this going to be at C5 too?
We are working on it
My original plans of hauling it in my trailer fell through cause well... it outgrew my trailer. We had to make two trips to get it to our local con last week so a few folks are doing what they can to help us get it to CV.
Great job to all involved. :thumbsup
Where/what was this built for?
I'd love to get some pics of my ESB Vader standing in that mini set to emulate this shot.
.
We built it for the mountain garrison of the 501st. I had built a Death star wall panel set that we have used for about 5 years as a photo backdrop at our local con trying to raise money for local charities. I wanted to make something a bit more impressive and always wanted to try this so we went for it. It was very stressful, expensive, and tiring but it turned out nicely.
Of course I wouldn't mind some exposure and maybe get some work some day and oh... be able to pay some bills and do what I love
... I'll try to update the website with all the projects from the past year:
www.FarAwayCreations.com ... since I haven't updated the site in over a year.
Feel free to bring your Vader to the droid room.. I'm sure you can get some pics there. I wanted to replicate that shot with one of our local Vaders too.
What did you use to do the fake snow paint/flocking effect??
You answered it... flocking
It's a messy process but really looks like what the original set had.
