Very nice, but the paint looks very uneven, is that purposely done that way? Or....

Yup it is supposed to be like this as it was in a new hope.

Like he said, it was exactly like that in ANH. My understanding is that they started with a black helmet and in test shots, lost it in the film-stock so they added the gunmetal highlights. I don't know why it was hand-brushed on in ANH but it was airbrushed in Empire and Jedi.

this thread has images of the EFX helmet that GINO did the prototype paint-job for.

Replaced the old thick leather to thin leather fabric. Black chain will be installed on tomorrow and the cape will be fully ready for everyone.

Just PayPal to [email protected]

Want to make sure does everyone like what we have so far? Does anything else needs to be tweak again?
 
Re: TonyMeis Custom 1/6 Vader outfit

Does the head have to be popped off to get the cape on?

As in, will the chain be fastened?

thanks

Yes, that'll be the best way, just like how we put on the Sideshow cape. The Head is just way too big to go over. Also if we put a fasten, it'll be more bulkier n will also cost more or material n labor.....

Note* the chain isn't on the cape yet, we'll install it tonight.

I'm tempted to get one of these capes for my Hurricane Vader, but I'm not sure if I can pop the head off or not :slap

hmm... okay, if you have a friend that can sew, we'll leave one side open, and all you have to do is to put the cape on and sew the other side of the chain over k....?
 
Re: TonyMeis Custom 1/6 Vader outfit

Cheers for the response man. :duff

Just hope the head pops off on my custom Vader!


EDIT: that sounds great Tony!
