Vader Helmet Mod Tutorial

[Chakaman]

We are talking about the Vader reveal helmet. If it's a reveal Vader, It's the right one.

Thats what I thought, thanks. The Hasbro dome looks great.

Yes,Pix,I did make a widow's peak.As I recall, I took a piece of styrene of @the right thickness,flattened the joint surface,glued the piece into place with Tenax-7(a very good styrene solvent cement),then filed and sanded it to shape.A spray of gloss black and it was ready to rock...PS

Here's mine,with a Hasbro dome...

And with my custom Tarkin. As you can see,the dome make all the difference to the look.With the SSC dome it rather looks like the old Don Post mask...PS

Yep, that's the winner right there... wow does that look great!

For those of you that did the mod with the Hasbro dome, did you have to dremel the peg insode the top of the dome and the arch along the back of the helmet or did you drill a new hole in the top of the head and press it down into place?

 

[pixletwin]

Dremel down the peg on the dome.

Dremel down the peg on the dome.

Okay just the top peg right? Not the arch on the back?

FLOSI left the arch on mine.
