With others posting their Vaders I thought I would post updates on mine. This currently is how my full ROTJ Vader looks at the moment. I recently got new sleeves(previous set were too short) and a vest with updated V seams. Im still struggling with the cape. Its 4 panels at 1/2 circle. Im trying to figure out how to tackle a 3 panel cape for ROTJ accuracy.

Im also proceeding with a ANH build for display so I can keep my ROTJ ready for events. Ive been wanting a ANH Vader for a while. This is what I have for now, the DJ helmet and Devilmaanprops chest box from Etsy. I have straps in the mail and i have DJ armor from Mike paid for and am waiting for. Shortly ill be making another purchase after the holidays. Im looking at getting the cape.

My armor from Mike arrived! I cant be more happy with it!

Mike has worked so hard to keep his reputation perfect and it shows. He was amazing to deal with and will do so for future Vader gear. Thank you Mike.

Straps added to my chest box. Took a bit of work to get rivet placement right and to get all the screw holes to line up. The straps also have incised lines as per ANH.

Here are some updates on my ANH build!

I recently ordered a completed belt rig from Black Falcon FX, cape and robe from Kelly Jo(with custom request for cotton corduroy) and a cod from CRPROPS. I never heard of CRPROPS before hand but a few on IG recommended him and the photos drew me in. In looks dead on to the Eller photo.
