Re: lord vader any one?
When it comes time for the soft parts, I will be happy to help. I made all of mine myself and it was alot cheaper than buying from some of the vendors.

Re: lord vader any one?
the soft parts aren't as difficult as you might think, i did mine with mainly time and materials involved. as far as painting, i used dupont automotive paint on my helmet and painted it and the shoulder and shins as well as the chest box at the same time using 2 stage paint. the wonky weather (temp swings/humidity especially humidity) will effect paint especially if you are using rattle cans(i apologize if you aren't i don't know what tools you have) i would be interested in seeing how you do the brush strokes in the gray areas that i think is required for the ANH version, at least i think it is required it has been a long time since i looked a the CRL for that version. if you need color codes shot me an email i have the paint cans that i used (again i don't know what resources you already have so no offense intended).

Re: lord vader any one?
okay dokay, email on its way! i cheated on my TI by spraying the spray paint into a jar, mixing then using a brush to put the tears and teeth on it. may repeat that on vader. im smooting it out, we have a kid that comes by work to repaint our cars. he will do the black for a resonable price. id do it, but...... not enough time!
