I, like many others, have been bulding a lifesize ANH Vader over the past few years.
It is pretty much complete but I have never been entirely happy with the mannequin that I originally used. It wasn't tall enough to start with, and the pose was a bit girly looking.
I have been eying off a new mannequin from a model shop for some time but could never come to an agreement on price with the owner.
Finally I snapped last week and decided to take a few peices of my vader down to see how it all sat on him.
He is 6 foot 6 so it looks huge and the pose is very similar to the rubies statue.
I think it works well and in person was very intimidating.
Was hoping for some feedback and opinions

Looking good.

The pose is cool, perhaps he could use a bit of bulking up but def better than what most people use (Vader with static arms).

I'd say go for it.

Man, that looks killer. I like the pose. I wish i would find a mannequin like this,but most of the mannequin i could get are not taller than 6.1 feet.
Like HDPE said "Got for it".

Yep good pose. Very Vader like

...you talking to me...? :cool:

Great pose!

Looks great......the one next to him apparently likes it too;)

So did you buy it? I would and then like HDPE said, bulk it up....slightly, maybe just fill out the arms and torso a little.

Keep us posted!

Thats looking pretty cool. Replace the light saber with the Atlantian sword and he will be ready to take on Thulsa Doom.

I have 5 mannequins and hate them all....gonna have to start cutting and chopping, and make one look the way I want.

It looks fantastic...

... yet strangely unsettling to see Vader wearing a pair of red Speedos!

That looks like an excellent start!

Ha ha, I never even noticed that while I was in the shop but when I saw the photos I had a laugh.

I told him to go ahead and make me one so it will be ready in about a week. The only reason I held off for so long is that he wanted $500AU for it and you can get alot cheaper imports from Asia.
It surprised me how well everything fit on it. Even the faceplate was a snug fit and needed no packing to make sit right.
The body will need a bit of padding. All the really good vader displays get the bulkiness spot on and it makes a massive difference.

Anyway, once I get it home and get him loaded up, I will post some pics.

Can't wait to see it once finished. It's going to look killer.

That's looking pretty sweet!
