Days with Clays: Scratch-building a Vader Facemask (ROTS)

CSMacLaren · **Posted:** Sat Oct 27, 2007 12:37 am

I saw a prop photo in which the rectangular notches don't actually span the entire width of the bridge of the nose, so here you can see those notches were rebated.

I like this shot in particular. Everything else seems to suck....

Lots more work to do....

That's it for today!

Hi CSMacLAren!

I finally got in to the website here after an hour of miss-typed passwords and a few other problems but I saw your post that you were looking for me on the Jedi council forums!

the mask you are making here looks great to me and you do fine work...

I will keep coming back here to see your progress on it and see how it turns out.

Thanks and have a great day and a Happy New Year and a belated Merry Christmas!

My goodness, it's good to finally hear from you! I was worried something happened to you.

Drop me an e-mail, or shoot me a PM with your email address!

Yes it took me a while to get my server straightened out, my emails all sorted, and just trying to find the websites as they were all lost when my comp crashed...I also lost my address book with all my passwords and id's in it so I have to start over again....But I am here and still amazed at the work you do !

This is a tough one. I have had too many projects in 2007-2008 and felt the need to consolidate some and write off others. At the same time, since Master Replicas lost their SW license, I learned on a 501st site that some Vader vendors in the fan community were recasting the MR.

It may be that I'd be putting in effort into something that people wouldn't want.

Ironically, after doing a study with my "Goldie" project, I find that Goldie is potentially a good mod platform into a ROTS:

Anyways, I'm currently focusing on Goldie and my "Quasimodo" (GH ANH face transplant). I don't know about a fanmade ROTS at this time unless people can let me know their level of interest.

ROTS

Go back to the OT my friend. You need to finish at least one of these projects you have going :lol

Besides, imho rots sucks.

My goodness!!! How many projects do you have going here????

I agree with you that you should work on certain projects and get some of them finished before starting any more....

the three Vaders you have up above there are pretty cool and I never knew that the Vader mask could be shiny like that!!!!

How is work going on the DV Mask you are working on for me?

Vadernut,

I posted a reply to your question on the thread on your mask:

viewtopic.php?f=43&t=1124&p=39885#p39885

When I started out on the ROTS, MR still had their license. Now that they no longer have the license, I see people are recasting it to make a quick buck. It's somewhat made my project obsolete. I will focus on Quasimodo and Goldie for now - as well as yours. Check the above link.
