yeah that helmet that you have shown here with vader does look huge on him. the helmet he made for me looks great. I don't like any of the HT mask I don't know I just cant seem to see a great vader maybe it could be the paint apps or it`s the over sized design I don't know. I know one thing the eyes always seem to look like bug eyes when looking directly in the light. now there 1/4 scale ROTJ Vader that mask looks fantastic wish they could reproduced that in 1/6 then it would look perfect. I like the articulation on the RO body but not sure which body to use as I have the body but will see.
Yeah, it's the other issue with the Hurricane Vaders (other than the roughness of the handiwork) is that I don't like any of the available domes. He provides casts of the hasbro and Sideshow DX domes, as well as a rework of the HT dome (I think) but none look quite right. It's why I'm going to see what I can do with this HT ESB Vader - even though I think the Kaiyodo facemask is better, I really want a helmet that looks good overall.
But yeah - the ANH/RO HT sculpt has that insect look to it. Even well modded I see it, though it can be made to look really good. And that 1/4 HT vader helmet does look great. Maybe someone will shrink it down like was done with the PF Indy head. Or hopefully one day Too Much Garlic will complete and sell his 1/6 scan of the original Vader helmet. Not sure why he never actually finsiihed that project.
Great photos everyone! Wor Gar, youve got an awesome pair of Vaders. Finally getting to mess with my new ESB, I think it is broader overall than the ANH, Im still enjoying the Lforigno custom capes and tunics for my Vaders, Ill get pics up soon!
I seem to recall maybe Wor-gar saying the Iforigno capes aren't quite black enough? Not sure if they are a lycra or more cotton fabric. If they are a bit more charcoal than black, maybe they can be dyed blacker if it is an issue.
