Great images !

Regarding these light sabers - how long are these cold cathodes?

They are 6".

How about a tutorial on making a lightsaber (maybe in the custom folder?). Or does one already exist somewhere?

There are a few actually. But I Dunno, since they obliterated simplicity with the dumb divide of the Star Wars forum from Star Wars customs, who knows now?

Nice find! This could go well with the Vader figure, especially with ESB Vader when released since there is more action.

 

[eczamurai]

didn't like vader's underarms being so long so I modded them, hope you like the result!

arm on the left is modded, right is unmodded!

 

[abake]

Looks good, did you just take a saw to the arms?

 

[eczamurai]

not exactly, requires a little more, will post pics when doing the other arm

 

[shocktrooper_au]

Does it look a little strange now, as the legs looked to long before?

 

[eczamurai]

I'm going to experiment taking off a bit of his upper leg, that's a bit too long isn't it?

 

[eczamurai]

but his upperbody proportions certainly look better now, his legs are partly conceiled by his robe so they don't bother me to much, but I'll try shortening his upper legs on my spare Vader body, that might actually also make him look more proportionate compared to my other 1/6 figures!

 

[Crimsonbob]

He looks ok and as long as your happy thats all that matters

 

[coolkansaswind]

pics suck ... but this is my vader with the helmet fixed ...

Can't wait to see the result. Please take pictures of the whole process so we can mimic it.

yup. I've never seen a Stormtrooper look so tough

So... in my quest for finding the best fix for the SSC Vader Helmet, I decided to do the Hasbro dome mod that some freaks have already tried to see if that looks closer to the screen ANH Vader helmet. I was lucky to find a loose Hasbro talking Vader at my local show last Wednesday for $10 . I dremeled the inside and I just finished sculpting the front peak (??) that the ANH dome has but the ESB and ROTJ lack. I'll paint and polish tomorrow and hopefully I'll have pictures of the finished mod.

Looks pretty good. I didn't bother adding the widow's peak to my helmet, but maybe I should. Using the Hasbro dome is without a doubt the best thing you can do to make your Vader look better (kind of sad when I say it that way).

Great job man!, i can't wait to see it all done and attached to Vader.I think the key to making this helmet look great, is having the dome sitting in the right position on the head.
