It looks spectacular, congrats to everyone picking this up. Quite a story this thread has been

Too true. Some of it good some of it bad.i lost my mother to cancer , Mr H his father and mother in the space of a year. He is currently moving into his family home with a purpose fitted out workshop ( he's been working from there for a few months now) hence the increase in activity. We honoured our word and deliver.

Thanks guys! Very happy with this Vader. Well worth the price too, especially for all the work involved. It was also very cool of them to add the extra dome and gloves, which I love. I had already paid and they just added those later. Now I have three Vaders. Funny how things work out. I never wanted three and only ever wanted one. It's safe to say that with this one I'll be selling my other two. This is an excellent figure and it's unique. So yeah, this is the keeper. I like it as is but knowing me I'll probably tinker with it here and there and out my own touch on it like I usually do with figures. I really hope you guys get yours soon. I know some of you guys have been waiting for years. If you haven't lost complete interest by this point than I think you will be happy. Of course mine is the most basic and I think it's very intricate. I can only imagine what the super duper deluxe reveal/lights etc. version will be like. Good luck guys.

No luck needed we WILL DELIVER .thankyou for your review Fiend , very pleased your pleased it actually made the H smile

Can't wait, Mrs. H

I'm getting excited as if it were 2009 when Glenn told me he was working on my Vader.

Please send my regards to him

Spectacular custom. Soooo jealous

We add the latch mechanism found on the Jedi reveal prop to delux and some standalone helmets here's one fitted just out of shot a more refined (with some ridiculously tiny 1/4 mm rivetty bits on the mechanism ) is hydeous' ESB mask with the same mechanism fitted , it was at one point gonna be moveable but seemed pointless.

Wow. The details and dedication for all these intercrete details - in a way im kinda glad that it took this much time to build since if it hasnt, im sure it wont be as detailed as these.

Im pretty sure none of the offerings from any company is going to top Glenn's stuffs. Its just too time consuming with all these details

 

[mrshurricane]

Just to clear it up here's an explanation of.our masks.
All our mask can be tracked back to the kaiyodo , however we have replaced/ altered the following over the kaiyodo .
From lower cheek bar downwards is all ours , we created a new mouth ,reshaped the cheeks ,reshaped the back of the mask,scratch making the correct edge and seam there, removed and replaced the brow grills flush as they were standing proud, created all the missing details on the brow , created the missing details on the crown. We also corrected the chin vent to ESB .then we retrofit them for ANH or alter them further for ROTJ. So the mask origin is from the kaiyodo but with extensive work I'd say that maybe 75% is now our work.im also told our mask is 10% bigger than the kaiyodo

We recently received an extremely accurate chest box kit (ESB)for H's full size 501st costume , needless to say it's being scrutinised and applied to the next chest box in 1/6 we seem to have got a lot of it pretty close already

Looks great!

Who is the lucky board memeber getting a custom TESB Vader from Hurricane.....

b/c I would like to see that custom.

 

[mrshurricane]

Mr Hydeous , it's the only one with correct flash chest box blink and a few other firsts
Just waiting on a minor inner robe re-tailor, oh and it has inside of the upper mask, alloy belt buckle circle and some other bits

Guess I'm clever after all.......old suit and new suit, next will,be real leather suits
View attachment 163541

The stitching on the new one is better, as they are closer as they should be, but the fabric on the old one is more accurate. Why did you guys switch to a much rougher looking material with larger leather grain?

We ran out of the original material , however I think we have four or five suits already sewn but with too wide a spacing sometimes our seemtress just doesn't listen , we have also experimental suits being made from lambs skin leather
