Sideshow ESB/ROTJ Darth Vader

[eczamurai]

Lowering my abdomen, by swapping it out with another TTs abdomen, will save about 1.5/2 cm.

 

[eczamurai]

before, he had to squad and bend over a bit to fit in. (thats what she said you perverts )

NOW Vader can stand upright in my shelve, if just barely!

Perfection:

 

[eczamurai]

This is what I used, but i lowered the "peg" thing by about 0.4 mm.

I do NOT recommend doing that and just replace the abdomen section LOL, that was a ***** to pull off. But now he ís pérfectly in scale. AND HE FITS :LOL

 

[eczamurai]

This required padding the abdomen as well since it's so much smaller.

 

[DarthAlias]

The original body? Specifics?

Knockoff TT regular. But I padded him up with plumbers tape. I'll see if I can get a brand on the body. Yours is coming along nicely man.

Isn't he a bit short then? A regular truetype wouldnt cut it would it?

 

[eczamurai]

Love this figure.

 

[generalgrevious]

so which figure did you use to switch out the mid section

Think it was a narrow shoulder TT. Or regular one, but I believe those midsections are the same.

 

[generalgrevious]

how hard was it to switch it out don't have to cut out anything I hope

Not really. It all speaks for itself once you screw it open. Very minor maybe.

Love this figure.

Stellar. And you should be really proud of the work you've done to get it to look this good.

I have the midsection of the tt narrow shoulder in front of me it has the nob that connected it from the midsection to the chest is that the only thing that you had to cut

I did but it's not nessisarily needed. Saves about 3 or 4 extra mm. But then it becomes a cutting glueing thing. I recommend just taking it as it is and exchange it. Not rereally worth the hassle.

Thanks a lot! Was primarily glueing heating and cutting I did though.. not like I did a complete paint job

Of all the mod's I like the hand the moSt just am really happy to be able to have him right handed in the esb reveal pose!

cool thanks. I noticed how small the midsection is to the stock vader. wow you must of had to put like lots of tape to thicken it up to match the original stock midsection

Ye I just taped some fabric to it. Not that much work to it.

 

[generalgrevious]

ok I might have to try that trick cool

When Hot Toys announces their Vader I can see many SS Vader figures finding their way onto eBay.

Anyone have an idea of when thatll be?
