1/6 Hot Toys - MMS 279 - Star Wars Episode IV: 1/6th scale Darth Vader

[generalgrevious]

well wor-gar I did not even bother with that part. I just did inside the helmet. I did paint the brows as well for sh**`s and giggles

 

[Wor-Gar]

Only think I don't like about the HT armor is it seems a bit long.

 

[generalgrevious]

that`s why I used hurricanes kaiyodo chest armor he made me it was that or nothing.

 

[Sturtrup]

Respect, but I think that is the best anh chest armor for this reason. Anh chest armor is totally different, and longer, than the other.

 

[rhboyd]

SS STAR WARS... hate anh... anyway... it's that one. I'm gonna go play with the mod. have to study the fit a bit more...

 

[GodParticle]

When you're painting the eyebrows, are you meaning the underside only? I'm not too familiar with the correct paint scheme

 

[Wor-Gar]

Yes, I agree... compared to ESB armor length... but for some reason when I look at my figure here in front of me the armor seems like it should be about the length of the chest box, but it looks clearly longer. Could be my imagination.

Interesting.... do you notice the same thing in this picture? Only to understand if it's the chest armor or the ht overall look of the figure or the body proportion to be off.

 

[generalgrevious]

which chest armor is that from. I guess every body has a different outlook of the chest plate that he wore in ANH. some like the HT version and lot of others liked the kaiyodo style. so I guess to each there own

 

[Wor-Gar]

That actually looks more correct to me. Is that the SS ANH chest box?

I've been looking at ANH pictures for too long.

 

[generalgrevious]

I know it`s not he told me that is not the correct chest armor because I asked him

 

[zeiss]

Sturtrup, which body is your Vader using?

 

[Wor-Gar]

That actually looks more correct to me. Is that the SS ANH chest box?

I've been looking at ANH pictures for too long.

Height of chest box is approx. same as height of chest armor.

While my HT armor is about 1/5x longer than my HT chest box.

 

[Sturtrup]

That actually looks more correct to me. Is that the SS ANH chest box?

I've been looking at ANH pictures for too long.

Oh my god! Same thing here! . Ht chest box and chest armor. He is too clean and glossy at the moment but I'm studying about the painting.

Height of chest box is approx. same as height of chest armor.

While my HT armor is about 1/5x longer than my HT chest box.

Ht chest box is a bit underscaled.

 

[Sturtrup]

Sturtrup, which body is your Vader using?

The body is the biggest job on my vader. I've modded a coomodel hight (heavily modded) to give him the right proportion. And the work about that is not finished yet.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Ht chest box and chest armor.

Ht chest box is a bit underscaled.

Well there ya go. I'd swear my armor is longer, and I just measured it. Maybe I've pulled it down too far or something, or my mask isn't hanging down low enough.

 

[generalgrevious]

so did you get the helmet off yet Wor-Gar

 

[DiFabio]

Some good looking Vaders on these past 10 pages. Cool to see someone had the balls to pop off the helmet to see the innerworkings, always respect people brave enough to take one for the team and try that stuff.

 

[Wor-Gar]

so did you get the helmet off yet Wor-Gar

Not yet. I'm done for the day. Waiting now for rhboyd who is actually doing the dremeling work I believe.

 

[rhboyd]

you are correct sir!! soon... soon....
