Here you go. Sorry for crappy pictures.

I quickly got him dressed. I still plan on tweaking him some more, but wanted to see what he looked like.

This looks good to me. The helmet/dome just needs to be straightened a bit.

I added some realistic fur to my vader. I think it turned out pretty well

Dome needs to be lowered, asymmetrical and less hairy...

Thanks.

Are you guys sanding the entire "top"( or the part that the dome sits in) off?

No but almost.

 

[JazzInc]

can you tell me more about this buffing paste?? what is it?!? I need this!!
please?!?

I use 0,5 diamond buffing paste with my dremel on a slow speed

Lenses were never red so it is unnecessary. Now if you want to replace the lenses with dark amber, that's something else.

Thanks!

Eager to see how your helmet looks lowered.

I was wondering how it would look by paining flesh tone on the inside of the helmet or the lenses. I can't break mine apart again or I'd try

Regarding the brows: I'm sure it looks good in hand, Chakaman, you have some really hot lights hitting him for these pictures. Once the brows are matte black and don't bounce so much light at the edge it should be perfect. In the movie you can basically see three notches on his nose, even as the widows peak is hanging over the top one. Go by that to judge your height.

Yes, the lights in my work area are pretty bright. I will take some letter pics today in natural light.

I can see from my pics I need to straighten the dome a bit. Thanks for comments everyone.

Just keep at it. You should hear glue cracking as you move it side to side. Eventually it will come loose.

I can't believe what people are doing to a $300 HT figure in here. Cajones of titanium.

Looking great though, Chakaman.

The two "black" side bars on the armor should be grey on the ANH.
