Sgtsuneded's Vader WIP

[sgtsunedead]

Thought I would Come out an Officially Announce That I've Got my own Darth Vader In the works

I'll start posting Progress photos as soon as I start having progress worth showing

Working on the Empire Strikes Back version

[Mowskwoz]

Looking forward to seeing the progress. I know you have been wanting to do this for a long time.

[Husky]

Sweet!!!

So, do you enjoy being miserable?? If so, your going to love being Vader...

Good luck on your build, it will be nice having another sith lord in our garrison. There are soooo many events in your neck of the woods that Vader is much needed. Not enough of us to go around.

ALL of us costume because we like whatever costume we own, not because we actually expect to be comfortable in it.

Amen to that

Update: Finished the Prototype Cod piece although I fear I may have made the inner design to wide

Also Blew The dust off my old Pair of shin guards back from my convention days

Are these ok? or should I perhaps Go searching for a new pair?

Currently Stitching together the Gimp suit and Gloves Upper Torso is done and working on the bottom when I get over Pneumonia

[Husky]

He's a Tusken. He's used to being miserable.

[Lumpy]

My suggestion is to post those photos on the Sith Lord Detachment forums (if you haven't already). They would be much better able to say what's acceptable and what's not.

[drbones2nd]

I would say that certain costumes are definetely more uncomfortable than others. Wearing a leather, black body suit, covered by armor and two capes in 90 degree weather is definetely more uncomfortable than a jedi or a TK.

Just ask Eric after he did vader one time at the white caps game last year. His words" never, never, never again!!" lol. He quickly changed back into his TK and never looked back.

To see the look on his face taking off that helmet was priceless...

Now having said that, I do love being vader but if size permitted, I would love to do a TK in conjunction.

Like lumpy stated, sign up with Sith Lord detachment and go to WIP section and post your photos there. Experts there .

[Mr Fett]

I can think of 2 local TKs who are 6’5” range. Unlike every single other Stormtrooper, they get the “Aren’t you a little tall for a Stormtrooper?” line.

[drbones2nd]

In reality, I know it can be done, but lets face it, at 6'6" it looks a bit goofy. Especially if I am taller than the vader

[Mr Fett]

This is oh, so true.

[Flash]

I've have most of the Vader costume that I wear when I do the Darth Gonzo (Complete without bucket and boots). Its the worst costume to wear and I dont wish it on anyone. Wearing a TK is like a bathing suit after wearing Darth in the same day. Buckets off to you Darth costumers.

[Lumpy]

Having trooped over 100 events as both Vader and Chewie - it's not even close!!!! Other than the stilts, my Chewie costume is a snap compared to Vader!!!

All that being said, just know what your getting into!!!

Bless you Flash. You just earned yourself a coctail on me

Better than "aren't you a little fat for a stormtrooper?"

I haven't heard that one before.

Thanks for the Tip Lumpy getting lots of Valuable Feed back from them

Update: 6 spools of black thread later and I've Finished the Quilting for the legs now just to turn them into something resembling pants

also Question to all the Vaders out there which is better for the body suit? one piece or Two Piece?

[drbones2nd]

I have a two piece but would prefer the one piece. It just looks better. Got mine from custom props and love the material. Make sure to spend a little extra and get the real leather, not the faux crap. It is way more comfortable and breathes.
