Welcome Chris! Good luck with your build. I know that there are several members with 3D printers that will hopefully chime in. You may have seen me last year at Soda City as Vader representing the CG.

Welcome Brian! 90% DV Marine here in Lincolnton, NC. Hope to troop with you sometime.

100% Complete! Approval photos have been submitted!

Fine tuning the lightsaber sound fonts for maximum shock and awe. The boot sound is a clip from the most awesome Vader scene in Rogue One.

Almost complete. Just a little test run and shakedown this weekend. The correct ANH chestbox should be arriving next week. Still have to order a new cape since the seamstress cut and hemmed it way too short.

Done! Let it cure for a few days, and then do some minor touch-ups.

Thanks Jason! Getting really close to completing everything!

Complete armor rework is nearing completion. Made a big mistake with a previous bell attachment experiment.

Working on the finer details on the Lightsaber clamp switch.

Thanks Jason. I do have a WIP Thread over on Sith Lord Detachment: http://forum.501stsithlords.com/index.p ... vader-wip/ The helmet that I have is an EFX. Most everything on the helmet is complete, with the exception of matching the paint to the armor. I had to do a bit of remedial work (fiberglass and paint) on my armor this weekend. When I am happy with the paint on the armor, then I need to repaint the helmet to match. I welcome any advice or input that any of the current Vader's are willing to provide.

Hello Everyone,
I have been working on my ANH Darth Vader since last August. It's about 80% complete, and should be ready for approval by June. It has been a long road, but I am getting there. Really looking forward to trooping with the 501st. I am also working on a Neo Pixel lightsaber project.
