Vaderville

[Vader AL]

me too, i'm excited but in no hurry because seeing the steps and additions adds so much more to it.

 

[SpawnFan]

It is TOTALLY worth it. Best money I have spent lately.

So could anyone PM the price we are talking about here?

I would like to see if I have a shot at getting one.

I would PM Hurricane directly. There are so many different options available making the pirces different. Mine has all the bells and whistles except for the speech function, so it cost a little bit more. I know you can get fewer options for a cheeper price.

 

[SpawnFan]

Damn speech option? lol damn this will be a hefty purchase for me!

Yeah I already sent Hurricane a PM, let's hope he will be gentle....

updates
the 'one' with ANH/ESB phrases is being wired up
pic of first trial etched brass, now this was just an experiment with a cheapy 'learner kit' designed for copper clad PCB,hand drawn bits,literally just a quick experiment.I now ordered more 'professional' chemicals and equipment, along with actually using a photo neg to imprint the compnents before they get etched....
also mask side 'actuators' to the right the old details cut and casted from one of those tomy helmets,and the left new hand made parts molded and casted

Holy crap, that is awesome. I can't wait to see this in-person!!

ok guys, not a huge amount of progress, (some personal c**p dragging me away from me bench)BUT....... photoetched bits look like a huge thumbs up, everythings ordered,gotta make a UV light box and stuff, patterns are done,ferric chloride in hand (test was done with sulpur somethingorother), im hoping to etch screen correct flat square link cape chains too for exact accuracy but these may not be that practical, dunno yet.....just waiting on photoresist stuff and UV box completetion.I know these are taking time, but bear with me it will be worth it....these'll be the best yet...

Your severed hands are in the mail by the way.

 

[SpawnFan]

Hey Hurricane, when you have the time could you answer my PM I sent you a few days ago?

 

[Les Walker]

Hurc, did you get my last email?
Hurc, did you get THE PACKAGE? Yet..?
Hurc, did you see I had some Hasbro pilots for sale in the Sales thread?
Hurc, are you doing ok? Hope all is well....
Hurc, why aren't you answering?

Oh...I'm still posting....

By the way...

Hurc, your newest stuff makes me actually, physically, drool

You are evil.
But in a good way!

 

[DarkArtist81]

There is no joy greater, in the custom world, than holding a long awaited Hurricane Vader in your hands.... Trust me. Best investment I have ever EVER made.

[hurricane]

heres another etched test piece using the more aggressive acid, not too special but these were hand drawn bits just for testing the final patterns will have pin sharp detail (better do invested a oner in this so far!)i won a 'UV exposure unit on ebay ealier so fingers crossed this is gonna go well....

 

[pjam]

I will one day have one of these Glenn, prolly an ESB Vader with everything. One day mate..

Btw, that is some of the sickest stuff I have ever seen, love the metal detailing -- the Ultra 'Cane Vader is coming.

 

[Darren Carnall]

Hopefully when the wedding and honeymoon is all over and done with... (and as long as SS don't release a version......lol) I'd love to get me one of these things. Hurricane is just SO good at what he does... and not to mention a damn nice and helpful fella

 

[Mooncat]

Hey Darren even with an SSC release you of all people know that a custom is a "custom" id take a Hurricane over an SSC anyday

so save your pennies after the honeymoon for a Glenn special

This thread is fascinating. Great to finally get a behind the scenes glimpse into Vaderville. Can't wait to see what comes of the etching experiment.
Hurricane, are you going to go in depth with the creation of the cold cathode saber? I know it is a bit of a trade secret. Just wondering...
