Teefury t-shirt joined my Imperial t-shirt collection. I always liked the t-shirts with more subtle logos and designs, where it doesn't say Star Wars all over it, but you have to kinda know what it is about. This was perfect for my tee collection

I used to collect the little pewter fantasy characters. Congrats on the new stuff. That helmet collection is looking awesome!

Hot Toys 1:6 Darth Vader, modified and upgraded by the talented JazzInc. Here are the mods he did on my Vader:

- repaint and weathering on the helmet
- slight buffing of the satin, just like the movie
- removed the dome
- put metal tape on the inside of the eyes to get a bit more red
- removed ribs on dome and sanded down the top of the 'head'
- reglued the dome slightly asymmetrically
- weathered and repainted the armor
- wired up the belt boxes and voice system to 4,5 dc adapter
- redressed him with cod as high as it could go
- chest box attached with double sided tape right underneath the armor
- weathered the belt, boxes and buckle
- removed the wire from the robe and added a heavier one along the bottom of the robe
- weathered and polished the shin armor
- painted all the hands flat black
- used double sided tape to really attach the glove to the hand seamlessly
- weathered and repainted the chest box
- did a lot of futzing and water treatment to get it to fall naturally
- removed all excess fabric from the inside seams of the tunic and vest
- cut some of the rubber from the side of the chest so the arms can go straight down
- repainted the upper eyelids black

No cathode saber for me, I display Vader in a static museum pose.

Thanks. That dio is not mine, it belongs to Jazz, he only took pics next to it - wish I had space to display one in my collection. He makes them in the SW section

"Star Wars Art: Ralph McQuarrie" art books arrived. These books are huge and superb. Splendid design, you can find out everything about the talented artist that was Ralph McQuarrie. High quality binding, beautiful pictures of his gorgeous drawings, and excellent information. A must have book for any Star Wars fan, especially if bought at the original Amazon UK lower price.
