ROTS Darth Vader WIP
Posted: Sat Jun 12, 2010 10:36 pm
As some of you know and some don't, I've been working on putting together a Darth Vader from "Revenge of the Sith". Partially because the garrison doesn't have one yet, but mostly because I finally gave into the "demands" that some have been putting on me to undergo a Vader build, and I liked the looks of the ROTS version.
I still have some work to do, such as trimming the chest armor padding a bit more (as it's showing a little from beneath the armor's front), and figuring out how best to adjust the cape so that it stays in place better. Also, the cape may be somewhat too long - I didn't have any trouble walking, and it didn't snag on anything, but it just feels too long. I'm still missing the chest box & the shin armor, but I have lines on them both and will be picking them up ASAP. I'm also awaiting on a new cod piece, as the one I have doesn't look quite right.
I managed to have my height measured while suited up, and I stood at 6'7" without any internal lifts or extra sole added to the boots.
Just wanted to share what I have done so far on this project, and I'll definitely be posting up more pics as I work on shaping Vader up. So this is what the Dark Side feels like...
