has anyone cast a replacement helmet for those of use that are lazy or scared to ruin a helmet????

Well, I posted this in the Customs section, but this looks like a better place to put it.

My goal here is an ESB Vader, as screen accurate as possible:

I painted the lenses, obviously. Painted the collar armor and shoulder pads, and added a new chain.

I used a Hasbro Darth Vader suit to make ESB/ROTJ accurate gloves. Not 100% satisfied, but I think they look good.

Here are the gloves on the figure:

The chest box is a recast of the Kaiyodo 1/6 Vader kit (nearly impossible to find!). I attached the Sideshow straps to the back and painted it.

Also note the ESB accurate lightsaber hilt.

Ben also repainted a Kenner Talking Darth Vader/Anakin Skywalker head just for fun. Here it is with the Kenner neck brace:

Not that I know of, just curious how much would you pay? I've been thinking of doing it along with the cathode saber mod but not sure if there is enough interest.

Is that an extra Vader you have, or are you just too impatient to wait for SST to release their ESB version?

For the amount of changes and the amount the next Darth Vader figure may cost this may be a wise investment

 

[Steel]

Great minds

And no Photoshop tricks, the size difference IS that significant.

HOLY CRAP! I love the Medicom version..but that size difference is insane!

Let me start off by saying that this figure blew me away. As soon as i pulled back the magnetic flap and saw him staring back at me I was in awe. All I can say is if ever there was a figure that was worth a year wait it was this guy. After some futzing and adding some padding here and there, it looks like Vader stepped right off the screen and onto my detolf! Bravo Sideshow

 

[pixletwin]

Great post.. I may steal that.

 

[Commtech]

Beautiful picture Rice! Even with the custom shop background!

 

[Bustajesse]

Film accurate or not, when I get mine, I am painting that damn right atmosphere sensor silver. I can't stand that one is black and one is silver.

[tylerdurden]

please don't ruin such a great figure by using it to re-enact that stupid scene.
