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

[jedijim3002]

I'd be curious to find out.

 

[King Darkness]

Neato....After some futzing and a little custom work I am happy with my HT Vader. Looks great with his Grandson.

 

[SilverStar17]

Nice!

 

[irezumi]

Cool pics Kingdarkness! Did you shorten Kylo Rens robe?

 

[Lejuan]

nice work King!

 

[TaliBane]

I hope someone takes a crack at doing a custom ANH chestbox. Neither the SSC one nor the HT really seems to capture it very accurately.

 

[King Darkness]

Nice!

nice work King!

Cool pics Kingdarkness! Did you shorten Kylo Rens robe?

Thanks sirs, and no, irezumi, I did not shorten Kylo's robes.

In case anyone is curious I used Kylo hands for Vader, just painted them flat black and used glue dots on the inside of the leather, extremely thin and makes for a seamless fit. They are a simple alternative to HT kahkah hands.

 

[rhboyd]

that glove mod is very cool!!

 

[Lejuan]

I was going to ask how you managed to make HT's hands look good. Hmm, Kylo hands...

 

[pixletwin]

I bought some HT Vader gloves to use on my custom, just in case my opinion of them changed...

Still hasn't.

Scrawny little emo hands work for 7' tall Vader?

Why did 7' tall Vader come with scrawny little emo hands?

In complete OCD fashion, I did more modifications to my Vader HS. LOL!

•Repainted whole head and neck in, two-tone, gun metal, checkerboard, pattern.
•Painted "c" scratch on his cheek.
•Painted the triangular space between the rods on the right side of his head, black.
•Painted "horseshoe" / "7" mark on his neck.
•Added lots of weathering.

Without anything left to do to the head sculpt I think I can finally move on to modding the gloves, chest panel, belt, and belt boxes. [emoji23]

That is Outstanding! Every effort you've put into this piece has paid off, well done WTC

 

[rhboyd]

"Who stole my clothes, dammit!"

HAHA!

I'm using the SSC, ANH, Vader, codpiece. There aren't any that are perfect, but the rectangular area on the old SSC one is closest to screen accurate. The HT codpiece, is really nice, but the rectangular strip is way too wide.

I like the body shape on that, which body did you use ? Looking extremely amazing so far, looking forward to seeing what you do next. ( I'm taking notes to re-do mine)

I'm using a Hot Toys Roadblock body with modified ankles. I've also swapped the arms with the Stock Hot Toys ANH Vader, they fit into the SSC body suit much better while still having the appearance of muscular arms.

I like the proportions of the Roadblock body much better.

 

[paulcarson]

Thank you, I'll keep my eyes peeled for a loose body at a decent price.
