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

Luck?

Seriously, Nikon 20.2 megapixel camera. Yeah, I've noticed outside shots are a non issue. Would explain the light idea, but inside there is a lot of light, but it does not like two objects or more it seems...

I have noticed this: when I put the subject on the bed and take a pic, it comes out good, like the nonblurry pic of hands. Light source is right over bed. When I try to shoot about a foot away on the cabinet, its blurry shot after blurry shot...

Put that Nikon in macro mode for those up close shots, Matt. If it's a point and shoot, I don't know what model you have, there's an icon that looks like a little flower in the settings. That's what you want for those foot away shots.

Thanks, dude. yeah, man, i've tried that. Clearly gonna practice some more. I really respect Para right now. Dude makes it look easy. hate him right now. Love his blue light......so blue....lol. Hey para, don't do Red man, except for Maul. Blue wrong for Maul. Red would rock. Sideshow should hire you, but they won't cause they are probably mentally challenged.

Have fun with it, Matt. I've got several cameras and they all have their own personality.

Inspired by the great work from fellow freaks i decided to mod my own a little more,i lowered the helmet a tad and painted up the chest armor.I also moved the wee plastic chain up a little more to the neck..View attachment 243151View attachment 243150View attachment 243149View attachment 243148

I used some magnets to keep the helmet in place and also dulled down the inside with some fine sandpaper..View attachment 243154View attachment 243155

Very nice, Matrix. I like the way you take the time to attend to rough edges and issues you may not see, but it makes for a cleaner modded figure in the end.

If I got a Vader I probably wouldn't mod anything, I think it's that good overall -- but you're all taking it to the next level.

*EDIT: What did you do with the hands?

Received mine last week and today I took some time and futzed it a little. I did remove the wire from the tunic and I think he looks great now. Here are some pics of my display.

The new mods look great Matrix. I really like the addition of the magnets.

Gloves look pretty slick too. Good stuff.

Great looking Vader, Matrix!

Thanks,i picked up a pair of bendy gloved hands from 'art figures' and then glued them inside the HT sleeves.

Wonderful work! Especially that magnet idea!

The one mod I have left to do is using gloves on the fingers. Really want to do that.

I salute the cajones/skill it takes to mod these figures to the next level. Jazz, Matrix, et al. Just stunning workmanship!

Awesome work matrix! That's one of the best head on shots i've seen, tempted to mod mine now

Repainting that chest piece makes such a difference.

I agree. Good stuff everyone.

I got this guy today. He is much more impressive in person than in pictures (I guess like all these figures are).




These pictures from the ****** camera on my phone don't do it justice.
