LOOKS fantastic. Can't wait to come over and wreck it ;) Awesome job, seriously my friend!

Re: Darth Vader life-size Bust I'm not going to argue with you. I tried to explain my post. I know what my own intentions were when I wrote it and that's really all that matters.

Re: Darth Vader life-size Bust Just being nice as many of the male species get their feelings hurt when someone has a different POV on something. Lots of discussions on here get out of hand when people shove their opinions down each others throat and I didn't want to offend those who are...

Re: Darth Vader life-size Bust I agree with this whole heartedly for this particular piece. I saw this up close and personal at SDCC and IMHO, it really didn't look so good. If I'm going to be spending that amount of money, I'm sure I could get something that is a better representation. No...

I voted for sabers, they just look cool.

Just got this over the weekend. Commissioned piece by Jeff Confer, an absolutely super talented artist and gentleman. I'll definitely be going back for more. Size is 14" x 16" is You can see his other stuff here: JPC Art JPC Art II

eFx stormie helmet painted by Jesse James.

Thanks for the kind words :) I also like the pics from the person (sorry, can't remember your user name) who added the padding to the armor to bring the shoulders up closer to the helmet. Great job on all the mods everyone! QGF, I will also get, when available, a completely new dome if...

Here are a couple of pics from the side. I have his head positioned as far down as it will go against his chest. I've never done the hair dryer thing so I can't say, but it seems it might be a safer bet. I dipped the front part of the dome sides (not the entire helmet) in the water 5...

Helmet with mods. I put it up in the other thread but that seems to have very little traffic. Now I really, REALLY am digging my Vader. He was awesome before, he's magnificent now! IMO, it really makes a difference.

Re: New Vader Photo's I think it's a combination of four things. 1. The helmet does need to sit below the eyebrows 2. It needs to tilt back more, which does help with the overall look IMO, 3. the bell part of the dome needs to have been made longer in general as it is short compared to...

Re: New Vader Photo's I did some mods on the dome. 1. Sanded the inside "rails" down quit a bit 2. cut off the tab 3. sanded the sides of his head 4. dipped and boiled to bring out more flare. I caution against this though because the paint began to get that flaky look to it, not too much at...

That's the difference! That 1:1 costume is just that, 1:1 and much easier to make look like the real thing AND it's NOT mass produced. It is WAY more difficult to get film accuracy when something is 6x smaller in scale and is mass produced quickly to get product out. I'm overall happy with...

Here are some comparison pics of the different 1/6th Vaders. The vintage one is about 1/2 an inch taller than the SSC! I remember when I thought the Hasbro one was REALLY cool! Not so much. and just a regular picture of him...

I chose other. My favorite Star Wars character is the Stormtrooper.
