Thanks. Not even close to your STELLAR diorama.

Thanks man. We're working on a Detolf sized setup that might suit you. Of course, for those who want what I have, I am now selling complete kits

Arm exposed? How is he posed?

Either holding his light saber or using his open hand......right now I just have the cape pretty much draped over his shoulder. I guess its that extra puffiness that i dislike and wish the material was tailored more fitted to the arms.

Here's how the lens look with the old 'hasbro reveal sculpt' behind them. I cut the eye area out and painted it silver. I think it works pretty good and gives more of a realistic effect when light hits it..

Cool idea, had though of doing something similar with a photograph of Dave Prowse.

Great idea, matrix. Hard to see from the photos but do you actually see the eyes at times?

Love the silver shaw eyes mod. Bravo.

For those who are interested here's a comparison between the HT suit and the SS version. Both are on the stock HT vader body. For me i still prefer the natural look of the SS version.. View attachment 248998View attachment 248999

Yep. Confirms what many of us have been saying. SS ANH suit looks far better. Would the SS head fit the HT neck?

Thanks..and yes the eyes can be seen but it depends on the lighting and how much shines through..

You would have to modify the HT neck post for it to fit

Does the SS neck barbell need to be smaller?

So cool.

Thanks for the side by side of the SS ANH suit too, just obtained one so look forward to switching it out. I think McHaley kept the HT vest under the SS suit so I may try that.

 

[airborn007]

I think I might want to go this route too. What was HT thinking......plus I'm not a fan of Sideshow but they win here. Or I might just have my lady sew up the arm a bit to be more fitted. I don't want to spend anymore $$$ on this guy anymore lol.

Although wide on the arms (upper arms, in fact), HT suit overall effect (e.g the puffiness between the sewings) is too much better to be kept aside for the old SSC IMHO.
