Official Sideshow 1/6 ANH Darth Vader PHOTO Thread

[Commtech]

Commtech... beautiful Vader! the mods make a world of difference.

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

Thanks fellow freaks!

Mitchell: I just sprayed Testor's Dull Coate on it.

Spiker and Commtech, those are some sweet Vaders! That's how he should have looked out of the box.

 

[Spiker]

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

Sure

I have more photos.

Here's my SSC Vader with modded hasbro helmet and WIP new cape (cape chain will be painted black):

Very nice cape! just wondering where did you get it?

What is wrong with SS's Vader dome again? I forget.

I think the angle at which it sits on the head is wrong.

It is a custom cape.

Commtech, your Vader looks utterly fantastic. Well done!

Just took some time to actually look at my Vadar and some pictures here and I was wondering ....does the inner cape/coat not go under the shoulder armor? I took the cape and the inner cape/coat off to see how I am going to make a custom cape. putting it back I looked at some movie stills that the shoulder armor seems to sit on top of the inner cape/coat but based on most pictures here it sits under the inner cape/coat??
I must assume this has been discussed somewhere earlier in this thread?
Hmm nevermind, watching SW ANH the inner cape/coat is over the shoulder armor...

ANH = robe over armor
ESB/ROTJ = robe under armor

ANH = robe over armor
ESB/ROTJ = robe under armor

oh no wonder... yeah sorry just starting to get into Star Wars with this hobby

Not sure why Lucas changed it. Something about a more mechanical look. I always liked the Samurai look of ANH but clearly most every prefers the robe under the armor.

NAH, Lucas et.al prolly got lazy with the continuity thing, until some NERD spotted the diference and made a fuss.

This would NEVER happen (SW fans making a fuss)

I tought heard somewhere he changed it so he would look more "menacing".

Notice he did the same thing in ROTS... So there comes the continuity isseu again

 

[Customikey]

I don't think it's a continuity issue. Sometimes I like my shirt untucked, too.
