Re: lord vader any one?
industrial Velcro works great. good luck with fenix, i still haven't gotten what i ordered from him (almost 3 months now), i do believe if i ever get it in, there will be a posting on the sith forums about it. he seems to have become quit unreliable.

Re: lord vader any one?
which is suprising, he's always been reliable in the past. im thinking of just buying some finished spfx armor to go with my spfx helmet. i dunno, i just cringe at his prices though. i hope you get it!
i spoke with claudio at custom props, body suit ships monday! i cant wait!

Re: lord vader any one?

edit; ok, here goes nothing. got one box converted, one is about 1/2 way done. i encourage our vaders to speak up on what they think of this conversion ive done. tutorial may be on its way depending on what you guys think.

Re: lord vader any one?
due to running out of time for make a wish, and LA's chest plate being on the slow boat from argentina, ive decided to build my own set. from scratch! ive fiberglassed every thing, just need to bondo in the details and i should be good. would take a pic for you guys, but dad left the camera out and tyrael (my 10 month old husky) knocked the camera to the floor shattering the lense. thats it for now troops!

Re: lord vader any one?
It is nice to hear you tackling the fiberglassing. That's a bit of a bummer about your camera though.

Re: lord vader any one?
well, no vader for make a wish. im just a little P.O'd right now. so disgusted with vendors promising you things and never delivering!!! ahhhhh! just gotta vent. between the armor issue and now my body suit wont be here for another 2 weeks im just flat fed up. if you promise something on a given time frame and you dont deliver, or cant make said deadline, contact the client!!!! contacted CP (who promissed the suit buy last friday) and he tells me he hasnt started on it because he lost my measurements? an email would have been nice, rather than waiting for me to contact him. i guess there isnt any comon sense out there anymore. thanks for reading and letting me vent. keep tuned kids, looks like ill be a pilot next week.
