anyone tried the vader led arm on the RO ver? im guessing arms must be same and it could work?

Vader arm should work, that portion is modular so it should interchange.

The elbow pegs are different on both versions so need modding...but the biggest issue is that the R1 suit is a very tight fit on the arms...making it impossible to do a simple arm swap
 
Few more pictures of the Governor.

I like the hand behind back but it doesn't go with the chair. I'd take the first one.
 
Thanks guys! :bow



I'm still struggling with what pose I want him in on the shelf. These are the three finalists... what do you think?

The two hands behind the back seems strongest to me.

If you're not going to seat him in it, just not sure you need the chair unless it's to take up that unused space in the back of the Detolf. I think it's stronger just having him standing alone. Tarkin and his chair isn't like Palps or Jabba and their thrones.

The chair design also doesn't feel very Star Warsy to me for some reason - more a standard office chair with a slight Get Smart/Kaos influence at the top. It may be that you really only see the top of the chair in the movie and the lower half wasn't designed to be really seen, more just what was really supporting the prop.

Two hands behind his back, for a number of reasons.

1. Any militant or law enforcement/ security personnel should never stand with their hands below their belt unless they’re at attention. (There are reasons for this so I won’t go into detail)

2. Both hands at his sides make him appear to be in disbelief and make the figure appear very static and without enough emotion to convey realism.

3. One hand behind his back would be my second choice as long as he’s gesturing with the other hand. Otherwise he looks confused.

With his hands behind his back he appears to be at ease and it looks natural for a General or person in uniform.
