If I showed you the mannequins I used for both of mine you wouldn't think they worked. I just looked for the right hight ad then muscled him up with foam cuttings. I actually went for pretty inexpensive mannequins I only paid $300 for each (shipping included), and the shipping was inflated because they were coming to Puerto Rico which is Bull S because PR is a U.S. territory and everything else I purchase cost the same to ship here as it does to any other state. on the other hand they do ship on huge boxes and are pretty heavy. Still $300 and I got some really good and usable Vader mannequins.

Some pic's without the suit would help maybe to fit the muscle foam right.
I tried it some times in past, but never got the right look, cause the mannequin i have is just a bunch of s**t in it's proportions.

I know this is an old thread. I just gotta day damn!!! I’m blown away by your collection!! Also I wanted to thank you for the AP cod I got from you back when I was based in Vegas. Now ive moved to the Philippines and the cod you sold me is proudly displayed on my mannequin. Waiting for some parts to finish before I sign up for the 501st here in the Philippines

Jup really nice this one.
Like the color of the paint as well, as how the cape is sitting on the armour.
Nice work on the helmet as well. :thumbsup

Thank you my friend! Its all about the little details.

After posting the pictures I realized I wasnt happy with the way the helmet was sitting on the mannequin so I added some foam to the top of the head. Also noticed the dust from having worked on cutting the mannequin earlier the day of the pictures, so I wiped the dust and the finger prints off LOL. I posted these images on the RPF but forgot to post them here:
