Kraam, that looks awesome!

The cape and robe from CP look great. Did you have them modify their patterns?

No, but I had to make the arm holes on the robe bigger to fit over the chest armor.

It's been a while since I have done anything to my Vader but the other day I found the urge to get on with it. I modified the arms on the manequin buy cutting them in half and using some speaker wall brackets that I had for the elbow joint. They gave me a good amount of movement. I padded him out a bit more, so he looks a bit bulkier compared to previous pics.

As you will see the pics say it all. There also is a few action shoots.

Hope you enjoy ;)

I absolutely love the new pics, and what you've done making him a little more bulky.
I think that was the Icing on the Cake :thumbsup

Awesome. I like the pose when he has both hands on the saber. Looks realistic.

Thanks guys. I hope that you can all see the parts that you made to make this possible for me to do.
I just wish that more of you could come and see it first hand. Look forward for you to come & see him, Father & Cook.

I would like to thank you all here for your help and support for making this dream come true.

Very nice display. What you might like to do is raise the codpiece a bit to bring the belt closer to the chestbox and reduce the distance between the belt and chestbox...that'll make the torso look not as long...just a suggestion.

Awesome display.
A dream come true.

How did you do the boots on the display...?
Did you make a hole ?

cheers

Looks awesome. I'm assuming that's you in the pictures? How tall is your vader?

Kraaam · **Posted:** Wed Oct 29, 2008 10:02 pm

To SL - I have moved it a bit higher and it dose look a bit better but the torso is long as I had to make the maiquin taller.

To Chiefhawk - The maniquin had a hole in the foot and came on a glass base. I used a old outdoor sun shade base to put the spike on to give him a heavy base to stand on. I the drilled through the boot to stick into the hole in his foot.

To Andrew - yes that is me, I should be smiling but didn't. He stands about 6'7" with the base.
