Thank you again.

Wow -- the best. That's serious. I always feel like that starts a competition but I very much appreciate the sentiment, thank you! Some new kid will come along soon enough and unthrone me anyway.

Weren't you saying the KP body mod wasn't good?...

 

[pixletwin]

Well wg convinced me it can look good with tlc.

No, you need to heat up ankle portion of the boot with a hair dryer. When it's soft, reach in with a pair of needle nose pliers to pull out the boot's peg. You then use the pegs that came with the KP body to plug into the boots.

Hey, I'm still scratching my head over how to accomplish this. I looked at the KP body's pegs and don't see how they can fit into the boots, it's a ball peg that looks too big to my eyes.

 

[Tabula Rasa]

Don't know what else to tell ya. Take the pegs out of the boots, and the KP's pegs fit in with just a touch of force. It is a snug fit, but it does go on. I've put on, and taken off mine repeatedly.

Hey guys I know I read this somewhere but can't find it going back in the threads. What's the measurement on Vader with the KP body from shoulder to feet for Inforigno's cape? Still waiting on my KP body to arrive. Thanks!

 

[Wor-Gar]

Mine was 11 inches even.

Thank you! Great work, BTW. Your Vader looks amazing!

Did you already mention what your complete list of mods was?

I did. With tutorials. And a free 1-800 hotline assist number. Where have you been?

Oh, I can't get the noob pass for once - and during xmas? And I've been deep in custom Boba land before that... while doing my extremely complex C-3PO custom at the same time. I'm very, very busy... had enough b.s. yet?

And... what is that 1-800 number? (insert "how's my driving" bumper sticker pic here.)

^^^I want to see 3PO.

Anyway, yes, I did the helmet mod, the body swap to the KP-02 with KP pegs replacing the SS pegs, and the full cape+tunic lforigno replacement. I did not cut or alter any parts (like shortening the gloves).

Looks awesome. Like how the inner cape/tunic crinkles at the belt.

That KP body is basically a HT heavy muscle body clone so works great. Wish those KP's were cheaper though.

3PO is just Hasbro fig dremeled within an inch of its life, lots of "plastic surgery" on head and arms. Ball jointed head, shoulders and wrists. Unbelievably complex (for me.) The eyes have been heavily modded and new lights added. Not going to be close to perfect due to Hasbro source, but wanted to see what I could do before Tama 3PO. Will post pics soon.

Your 3P0, give it to me.

 

[swsqueakquels]

Your 3P0, give it to me.

You already built one yourself. Oh, that's right... you forgot.

Jeez these Vaders in here are looking stunning. The SSC product had so many issues, but people have just nailed it with these mods. These look like pics of the full size costume. SSC must be sweating bullets with their 2.0 just trying to match up to these customs.

 

[chRd]

Your 3P0, give it to me.

Nice work king! Cant we get some SSC peeps here

LOVE seeing modified Sideshow Vaders. Mine is spot on and is one of my favorites. Some people still complain about him being too tall, but I think he's just right.
