Yeah, my tutorial is not 100% complete when you want to attempt exactly the same. As you said, VDG, the feet have to be cut off from the boots, as they are originally one piece. The toes also have to be removed from the TT feet, and the feet dremeled down a bit to fit in the Marmit shoes.
When putting together the armor, I also unscrewed the upper torso of the body to put the marmit groin/abdomen armor on, as that won't slide up over the legs (nor down the shoulders).
I think I also sanded down his shoulders a bit to make them less wide, although I'm not sure about that. I did dremel the hell out of the arms and legs to make them thinner. I only shaved the inside of the marmit armor slightly I think, to not risk damaging it. It's always easier to replace a TT part than a marmit armor part.
If you ever acquire a Marmit and want to attempt the mod, just hit me up with any questions you have, Fiend.

Thanks, will do.

Actually most of this sounds very familiar. I did much of the same when I put together my Medix Batman. Lots of dremeling, trimming, cutting etc. I switched out the Medi body with an HT Slim and I dremeled the living hell out of the that body to get it to fit into the suit, the whole body too. I also had to cut off the ends of the feet and shape so they would fit into the boots

Well, for me personally, the only thing that bothers me about this figure is his height. He's just waaay too tall in my opinion. Other than that, I think he's pretty ace.

"I am your father" gauntlet on wrong hand, body suit too baggy, body not proportionally accurate, shape of helmet innacurate... it requires a lot of customizing and kitbashing to build an (more) accurate Vader.
