Iron Studios 1/4 Darth Vader

[NAZGUL-KING]

Well I jumped on the bandwagon.

Saw one of the online sites have a few in stock, the price wasn't as steep as I thought it'd so I jumped on it. Need this grail, should be here Monday.

Congrats!

Good move.
You won't regret it.

Nice, any chance for you to share what parts you are using?

Not at all. I’m hoping to start the harness this weekend. I’ll list parts once I post the next photo.

Hit a snag this weekend with the harness. No one around here has what I need, so I went the eBay route, but it ships from HK and is a ways out. Its okay though, I'll regain my sanity. This project definitely tests your patience.

So the main power supply is here - https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01HEXFQWW/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
(I studied the youtube video relentlessly, and I'm 99% sure this is the same one he used)

I purchased 3 of the step-down boards just in case I screwed up. Be advised, these are super-small. https://www.ebay.com/itm/DC-DC-Buck...e=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

I snagged a couple of generic alligator clips as well.

I have yet to make the battery-fillers, but the dremel will come in handy for that. Just remember to label pos+ and neg-

I'll update again once the other parts arrive. Remember to test the voltage before you seal it with the rubber jacket.

Awesome man, thanks a lot! I look forward to the progress

Throughout this thread I noticed a lot of folks talking about battery eliminators. I would recommend this site... I've bought them, they're cheap and they work well.

Changing a light bulb?

Thanks. He is annoyed by the noise on the shelf above and hitting the ceiling to make it stop

Love how clean your cape looks. No wrinkles at all. Whats the easiest way to remove them would you advise?

Would anyone be interested in a regular, wireless flowing cape for your IS Vader, if I got the same guy to do them that made the fabric capes for the Superman and Batman pfs? I want one, but it wouldnt be worth the guys time to just do a single one for me alone. And for what he charges, I couldnt pay the price. The more people, the less itll cost to buy one.

I used a fabric steamer like this. It took a few minutes but it did a great job removing wrinkles.
