[Flapper97]

Very cool!

 

[Cocoboloboy]

One of the best custom Vaders I've seen. Very nice work.

 

[galactiboy]

This project is looking amazing... can't wait to see the finish

looking good mate.. Any updates?

 

[Rogue Trooper]

Great looking, very natural standing vader. Really dig those holding the belt hands.

 

[Chakaman]

Love the pose of Vader holding his belt. AWESOME!!! The casted gloves look outstanding!

Super job!!

 

[risingstar]

That looks like so much work...
Great turnout!

UPDATES??? UPDATES UPDATES UPDATES???? PLEASE?!?!

I wanna see how awesome Vader is when he's finished...

 

[katkuru]

Sorry guy's not much to update, real life is getting in the way again. My camera is also down, but I did manage to cast the head and paint the gloves. I'm dying to finish him too, the mask is harder than I thought! Thanks for the kind words and interest!

ok... that's too bad, really cool custom. And since I can't afford a SS vader on eBay for $200, I'd like to see how this turns out so I can get ideas for making my own... although I'm pretty sure I can't sculpt hands very well... maybe if I practice every day for a couple years I'll finally get something good, but I haven't even mastered headsculpts to the point where I am comfortable with the "finished" product...

how did you custom make the suit?

 

[katkuru]

how did you custom make the suit?

Suit was made by stiching lines every 1/8th of an inch on to pleater, then a jump suit pattern was made. All credit goes to the wife.

 

[katkuru]

Quick update, finished the paint on the head, and also glossed up the gloves. Still need to modify the cape/neck with a longer chain and finish that darn mask!

that sculpt is siiiick! very well done. he looks evil like vader should. it's going to look crazy with the reveal helmet.... if that's what you are going to do. what base sculpt was that you sculpted over. looks so cool, great work man.
