ROTJ Vader Reveal Helmet (was a ROTS)
Posted: Thu Apr 02, 2009 7:08 pm
Hello,
I have had my ROTJ Vader now for over a year and a half, so Im getting an urge to build my next suit. My next project is going to be a ROTS Vader.
The biggest job for this project will be the making of a reveal ROTS Vader helmet. You dont see them very often, so I thought it would be an interesting project to undertake.
I have acquired a Portumac ROTS helmet that Im going to use for this, which will have to be cut. Im pretty sure I have the exact placement of the seams that seperate the bottom half from the top of the helmet. Before I start though, I thought I would ask if anyone has tried cutting a helmet similiar to this before? The area around the tusks seems to be the only part that is questionable. I just cant predict whats going to happen when I cut there.
If anyone has any knowledge they are willing to share with me on this procedure, please speak up! Otherwise, Im going where no man has gone before. LOL
Thanks in advance for the help.
[Update the helm is now a ROTJ Version]
Regards,
Chris A.
