1/6 SSC ESB/ROTJ Darth Vader Modification Thread

[Kamandi]

What's the best way to detach the Anakin reveal head on the SS version? Is like to repair Anakin head then reinstall. Anyone have a helpful hint? Thanks.

I carefully rocked the head front to back a few times and the glue points let go.

After seing all the awesome Darth Vader customs using the Kayiodo parts I had to make one.
So two weeks ago I got one from ebay and I started customizing my SS Vader.

I used the face mask, shoulder armor, grieves and boot feet (the last two you cannot see them on the pics.)
Painted everything and made them fit the modded SS body.

The dome isn't fixed yet as I have to trim a bit of the flare.

here are some more shots. Im weary of doing the dome mod cause I like where it sits when it comes to his eyes, its just not long enough. i shortened the neck again a bit to make up for that.

I'm finally going for this mod.

Just a body swap, shorten this new body neck.

No mods on the original figure parts, keep it as new, except for glueing the tusks, and the cold cathode saber, which is a must for me!

Wish me luck!

Excellent custom job elvis1976.

 

[parrasmaniac]

yes, elvis, that looks amazing. Congratulations!

Elvis, that is quite possibly the best Darth Vader I have ever seen. Hot Toys will he hard pressed to make one as good.

Shoulders look just a bit too wide, but with the dome tweaked that's going to look amazing.

Does anyone know where I can obtain a replacement suit that is the quilted kind? I tried ebay for the SS V1 vader, but never see anything by itself

Incredible mod Elvis

I'm looking as well. Tough to find on eBay unless you buy an old SS version. I heard the quilted version breaks down with age.

There are custom suits for sale here. It looks wide in the legs and arms but might look better on a bigger body.

Wow.
That really does look quite beautiful.
Is this the Kayodo you used?

That's the one, good price too, but you'd want to strip that paint job

Yeah better to find them unpainted.

 

[generalgrevious]

I have an extra model kit unpainted helmet and mask if any one needs one

 

[Dr. Odd]

Here's my custom vader currently, have a few more things to finish but he's nearly complete
Thanks to Matrix for all the advice, and thanks to Galactiboy for painting the mask and chest armor!

Excellent work indeed!

Amazing.
The sloping shoulders look perfect!

 

[Yodasodabo]

Incredible Dr. Odd! Love the shoulders and mask. I'm guessing everything but the mask and chest/shoulder armor is SS 2.0?
