Hi All!
So this is my very first post ever!
I thought I'd share pictures of my custom Carbon freezing chamber base for my Medicom Vader.
I'm no big fan of the tiny stands that come with figures so I decided to make my own. I love the moody atmos of the Empire scene so I've had a go at that.
Here's an idea of what it's made from. An old wall clock, a custom grill I had laser cut from a Illustrator file and an old Vader money box I stole the voice board from.
The soundboard and speaker, minus unwanted wires. The two connectors that activate the sound would later be connected to a generic button.
The 5m of LED's where stuck to a plastic circle I cut to the dimensions of the clock glass. They came with a handy power socket I later fitted into the base to connect to a 9v supply.
Cut the gels to the same dimension.
The base of the clock had handy spaces for the soundboard, speaker and separate battery pack.
Sprayed everything gunmetal and then a layer of matte black. Used sandpaper to bring the silver out on the edges.
And here's what I ended up with.
There's a switch in the front that activates an Imperial march and a Vader soundbite...
Also there's a switch in the back to easily turn the lights on and off...
Here's a video of it in action...

Hope you like it, any questions welcome.
