Im hoping everything will turn out just like this. It a little different from the actual Vader Suit. But I liked this one.



Ill also be Doing Boba Fett's Helm. But i Have no Photots for that yet.



Tell me what you think.

THANK YOU!

Projects got alot of pictures but no reference on how you are planning on making the costume.

 

[Bryce Youtsey]

??? well i mean the whole figure is reference. i dont understand what you mean.

 

[rundown]

you mean the early concept of vader drawn by McQuarrie?



Well efx is making the helmet. It isnt out yet.

probably will go for the same amount of cash there other helmets go.



there are some other fan made helmets also just look and you will find.

 

[Bryce Youtsey]

It looks allot like that yeah. Im building thw whole suit though

 

[DavidII907]

Dude that would be so sweet of a helmet. Rock ON

 

[Heatshock]

yep that looks like the Mcquarrie Vader - do a quick google search and you should get lots of ref pics

there in fact 2 fan scultps of the mcquarrie vader as well

oh and there was a guy who did build the whole suit (not like the one in you pic, but similiar) - have a look - http://www.starwars.com/vault/books/news20100112.html

the hardest part is gonna be the the helmet I think

and also which version to use - as there are original concept drawings, the comic book etc



waht kodorei was talking abt was that you seem to have posted a whole lot of pics of what you want to do, but nothing of HOW (eg modifying an existing helmet, scratch building from card board, clay etc) you are gonna do it, or any pics of it having been done. Unlike your other posts which have.



good luck with the build though - it looks liek a toughie!

What materials are you planning on using to make the costume? How will you make it etc?

Pictures without plans is not a progress thread =/ Isnt this against the forum rules?

The progress threads without pictures rule is more for the threads that have nothing in them except "I'm doing this...". This has plenty of reference material so it's fine.

As for the other points, I don't see it as an indecision or attention thread so I'm going to leave it be.



To the OP, if you're wanting some good physical material for the McQuarrie Vader have a look for the Kotobukiya Vader figure. (They come as a pack but you can find the Vader on his own for cheaper)

ill be making it out of card board then fiberglassing and bonding it.

some of the parts im just going to buy
