ROTS Darth Vader Upgrades

Post by fredstar »

Hey Guys

Today I received a couple of items sent from Ace Replicas over in the US.

The first is a fully CNC'd Aluminum Darth Vader ROTS screen accurate Chest Box to replace my existing plastic Rubies chest box.

It now has the correct red and green lights, slots and switches and the red switch now glows as seen on Episode III ROTS.

The second is a belt buckle to replace my ESB version.

This has also been machined to be ROTS screen accurate.

Hopefully I'll be getting my new 2 piece leather suit from Custom Props currently being made to measure to fit my mannequin.

Awesome! There's nothing quite like cnc'd aluminium parts aye.

I wonder if the creator of Vaders suit was having a laugh when he put a bit of astromech on that chest piece ;)

Maybe I should put some red lights behind my R2's ones and see if anyone picks it up. :p

Your upgraded pieces look great; the side-by-side pics show the differences well.
