Official Sideshow 1/6 ANH Darth Vader PHOTO Thread

[zeiss]

The Hurricane dome seems to use the hasbro dome as its base with some nice mods like the widow's peak. It is larger than the Sideshow dome and fits the faceplate much better. In general, I thought the helmet originally looked too small in comparison to the body. Now, it looks closer to the proportions seen in ANH.

Nice shots, mata787....you've got those Imperials' uniforms looking sharp and crisp. Well, done, sir!

Hey guys,

Thanks.

Love the picture
Where's the 'Death Star Plan' coming from?

Thank you. That is from the Hasbro 3"3/4 R2-Q5 action figure, and I simply made it light up with a puck light. The same with the emperor hologram which is a Hasbro TPM Palpatine hologram figure and also added a puck light underneath.

Thank for the info, Sergiu
How big is the DS Plan compare to 12" vader? say if he's holding it on his hand?

The transparent conical stand of the Death Star is much bigger than Vader's hand. But I guess you can cut the wide part from the bottom and thus use a smaller part. Or just keep the Death Star and insert a small wire inside it to be hold by Vader.

Great.
I guess I'll be looking for it on thebay
Thanks again for the info

I guess I can start putting this where it belongs...

For those interested in the "PJB torso mod" to lower Vader a bit, here's a comp that shows the difference:

Might be helpful to see what you get.

I like how your Vader looks like, that should have looked in the fist place. The cape is great!

WOW what did you do with the helmet?
It looks much better without the gloss

 

[Spiker]

And again my modded one Note: i used the original dome, just bend and lowered it.

 

[Mandible]

Nice work Spiker. Have you got a front on eye level view of the helmet?

 

[eczamurai]

thing I hate about the ANH version of sideshow is the fact that the chestpiece isnt glossy. Or more like the fact that the helmet piece IS glossy if you want to be correct lol.

It looks inconsistent because of it
