So it is time for some updates on my Darth Vader.

EVERYTHING that you guys saw few years back is gone and REPLACED! Here is a whole brand new version of my Vader on Display. Ive been working my ass off to make it as screen accurate as possible.

Here is a parts list.

Helmet: Darth Stone's latest ROTJ
Armor: Darth Stone V1(I do not like the V2. Don't find it as accurate.)
Chest Box: Pieced together with Dark Side greebles and a few from my old Porty box. Right now the box itself is being refinished.
Belt Boxes: Hammonds with the right found red lamp.
Belt: Self made, thinking about getting a new one.
Buckle: Dark Side
Cod: Artisan Props
Capes: KevVader's
Suit: 3 piece Fenix Props Leather
Boots: Replica German officer boots
Gloves: ESB Fenix Props

I have been working a lot at a new job so Trooping time has been Vacant. I built up a mannequin to display the suit on. I also had an SD card with a few worn photos but it got lost in the mail when I was sending it to a friend.

Enjoy the photos. Chest box is temporarily absent.

Youre the second person to say that LOL. I didn't think they were that dark.

Here is a recent picture of me in costume from the Akron Comic Con.

I had to send back my cape to the seamstress because the back of it still dragged on the ground and people were stepping on it! I specified only material taken off the back as the front hovers over the ground. I'm trying to achieve the taper affect seen in the ROTJ.

No, that is Stones V1 armor. Absolutely no Rubies parts at this present time.

Wow....That's the tiniest Vader I've seen loll.....Unfortunately you have a lot of inaccurate proportions of the whole costume is due to your small size.

You could always have some carry around a soupbox for you to stand on. No shame in that.

Excuse me? What the hell are you going on about? Both me and my mannequin display reach just about 6'5" which was Vader's height in ROTJ. everything is 1:1 scale. I dont even have that helmet and armor anymore.

I have the CFO for display while I troop in spfx gear.
