I am making Darth Vader from the Revenge of the Sith. I am trying to make it as exact as possible, but on a very tight budget. I am going to be using Pepakura for a rough draft, and most likely scratch building everything. I will need a lot of help with critiquing everything, so that it comes out very close. Be very honest with how it looks, as I am not as familiar with some of the small details yet.
I already have the bodysuit done.
For a full description of how I made it go here:
Leather undersuit
I started the shins today. I am using pepakura as a rough draft, and I will most likely scratch build the shins. I wanted to be sure I have the right shape and size before I make a final product.
I started out with the printed paper.
I cut all the pieces out.
I used hot glue to assemble it all together.
I used some black spray paint to make the detail look better. Here is my first test fit.
Does this seem to look right. If it looks too wide, it is because I didn't trim the edge down yet, and I will do that after I do the fiberglass. I will be doing a lot of bondo and sanding, so this is just to get the basic shape right. I will do all of the correct fine details later.
Thanks for looking.
