Some have asked to see my ANH suit. I have not worked on it for quite sometime as I am waiting to get a decent helmet for it. The hard parts and cod I am happy with although the russ rep boxes (tops) and coinslots have inaccuracies to them. Overall though they are done even though the project is far from completion.

The belt is done and wired. Once I get the helmet it will be time to make the cloaks, leather and boots for it.

I am shooting for the Tantive IV look with a slight reference to the ESB one sheet as I like some of the look to it as well.

You're brutal Mac :wink:

Here is one I did with My Rubies statue helmet with added widows peak.

This pic was taken before I put black straps on the chestbox. I use all my ESB stuff until I get the ANH made.

It looks like one of the touring displays. People get too picky with "Oooh, that's an ESB dome and not an ANH dome, blah blah blah". True, we want to be screen accurate, but I've seen screen accurate suits that look like the Hulk forced Vader's head deeper into his own shoulders.

This looks GREAT and has a very authentic "feel" to it.

Thanks everyone!

If I ever get the right helmet I have the right chin vent and mouth grill....Both are going to be different.

The pic sucks but this grill matches the ESB onesheet nicely. I will stretch it downward and rough it up a bit before I install it.
