Oh I forgot I also have my original Darth Vader 12" action figure that has his arms broken off and I have to try to get these reattached in some way.
:D

Oh, that would be COOL. Would go really nicely in my display case. I gotta look into making something like that.
Then maybe some sort of dune setting for my Sandtroopers..

What an awesome idea

[quote="oota goota"Oh man I have one of those too. Never did anything with it. I hate starting projects that I don't finish but I confess I have a couple of projects that never got off the ground :([/quote]

If I don't totally stuff mine up you can send me yours to do. Then I'll swap it for one of your DLT-19s ;)

I still have my mini tie pilot helmets on the go, I finished a couple as gifts for school galas and a deserving kid.
I have the snow trooper shoulder bells that I haven't got around to finishing quite yet for Postie but will get onto it next.
I am in the process of trying to get my anarchy design Darth Vader helmet completed for the movie premiere in December.
I am also going to make my own Darth Vader helmet from scratch starting with a clay sculpt then going onto fiber glassing etc etc, I would like to try and do for Vader what Oota does for the Storm trooper suits, someday maybe.
I am also working on LED downlights for my workshop as I recycle these from a local lighting supplier that we buy from frequently.
And one day I would like to do some of the panels for 6th scale figures from the death star with the light up white tic tac shaped panels inserts.
Well that is it apart from my Cylon build, helmet gloves and boots to start along with a new helmet that I am starting on for same project. :)
That is it at the moment, but it's all in bits and pieces and when I can do stuff I want to do, you have to be in the mood, have the time and motivation to get going.
ha ha wow I am suddenly feeling heaps better about my project list! I feel lighter somehow :p

would love to see that Darth Vader sculpt. Very tricky but there's lot of reference material around these days good luck!

It will be a long process, I'm buying clay as and when I can afford it from Trig instruments in Wellington, I have about 10 packs now which might do half the face plate :?

Rebel Fleet Trooper - waiting on Helmet
