Hey Bandit! are you gonna display that Vader On a Manequinn with a Lightsaber in Hand ;) ;D
If you do be sure and post picts.
That is exactly what I was thinking about 2 days ago. The way the $40 mannequin is constructed with the flexible fingers I could possibly do that. I think it would definitely add to the display.
I did get the costume late last night from UPS. I went to the delivery center and picked it up around 8pm. Once I got home I took pics of everthing as I opened up the box and took things out. I will post the pics later as I don't have access to them right now. I was surprised with the Helmet...it is VERY Large as others have said. The finish on it is not that bad. Not on the Dome part of the helmet anyway. I polished it up real nice. Used some Novus #2 and then put a coat of Zaino Bros. Z-1/Z-2 Came out nice and shiny! Only problem with the helmet is the neck flare. The Leg armor came also with a nice gloss to them, but there were some scuffs that I wanted to try to polish out. So I tried the Novus #2 on it and it actually made the glossiness a bit cloudy. Its okay cause I planned on repainting them later anyway. The Belt boxes are nicely done and light-up very brightly. the same with the Chestbox. The 3 "coin-slot" lights blink rather quickly in a random sequence for a nice effect. The chest box is placed rather low on the undersuit so I will probably relocate that, as well. The Shoulder armor could be done better, the hinges used for the shoulder bells are rather bulky and intrusive so i will probably just replace them with a strap or some thing else to keep the shoulder bells lined up correctly.
Overall I am quite pleased with the costume...its awesome. I haven't been able to put the entire costume on myself. It is definitely a two person task. So hopefully tonight or tomorrow morning I can get my g/f to help me suit up and get some good pics with my FFX sabers.
