This is why your the sabre master, I took a look at this and just shook my head the thinness of the sabre hilt at the top of Old Bens sabre, I just thought no way and then eh voila the below pic, thats why I sent mine to you , btw I sent you a PM/ Email about some small connectors for a project Im working on with the BSG helms wondered if you had any advice
????

Ta.

Very cool. I'm not a big fan of the clip chip feature (like a lot of people I know are) but I hope EC takes a video of his Hurc'd up OB1 so we can hear and see.

As promised, new stuff for ALL masks from the 'basics' upwards, metal mouth screens,wide mesh backed up with fine brass etched mesh,and tinted lenses, im just prepping a Seb Shaw sculpt to go in this helmet,so fingers crossed youll just be able to make out his eyes behind the lenses...this is an ESB version

 

[pixletwin]

I love the transparency of the eye pieces.

Can't wait for more piccies.

I'll see what I can do although I don't currently have a video camera.

AWESOME!!! Just when you think it can't get better. Beautiful work Glenn!

Hey Glenn, you should set a sort of "gallery" of your Vaders for easy access!
There have been so many fantastic figures made by you and so many innovations put into them that it would be great to just be able to browse through all of it.

Fantastic work, as always!

 

[Platty]

Fantastic stuff

 

[hurricane]

some more updates, these will apply to all vaders except if requested not,
so if you squint you can make out the Seb Shaw evil sculpt behind the tiinted lenses.....onto belt boxes now these have 'casted in' alloy parts to replicate the bits on the full size ones, also the horizontal piece below the green lights are now actual insulation from wire, im gonna try weaving wire over some of this to get closer still, i did this once before with Wor Gars boba fett, and finally ive found that HT bodied vaders using the sideshow boots will bend at the ankle quite easily and hold position some people have questioned sideshow new vaders ability to do this...

 

[Commtech]

Awesome!
Sir, please apply such new features to my Vader. Thank you very much.

 

[pixletwin]

Looks great hurricane! I love seeing the eyes underneath.

 

[Jay]

these vaders look so great.
but on the real belt boxes the six metal parts on each (the ones you casted in) are not hollow there are simple Zylinders, only some Promo suits have this feature
ANH

ESB

ROTJ

ROTS

 

[hurricane]

the belt boxes shown, are for an ESB version the six parts on the ESB full size are 'hex headed screws,if ive got it worng then im mistaken,just going on screen shots

 

[pixletwin]

Can you take a pic of the same translucent lenses without trying to capture the eyes? I wanna get an idea on how they look without a light shining directly on them.

 

[Jay]

the six parts are just cylinders

The craftmanship on these things blows my mind.

NO you are not mistaken they are indeed hex screws, i got dave to dig out some photos from the ESB shoot and he has confirmed, and if anyone is gonna know he would after all he was wearing it!
