Hey guys. This is my second attempt on FX conversions. This one was tricky, but I'm pretty happy with the results. Thanks for looking.

i'm actually working on a couple of vaders as i have time as well (one is a 2005 ESB, the other is a 2007 ANH) and i'm now considering trying the TCSS chassis parts like you did

Thanks! Yes, it's definitely convenient to have a chassis.

Sweet saber. I like the touch of wearing the Vader t-shirt in the display video.

Wow that loooks awesome, nice job! I just picked up a few Force FX vaders and am looking at doing a custom build of one at least.

What was the original base of the chassis? What year of Vader was this? I have a 2007 hasboro and a 2010 removeable blade one.
