Hey guys,
I know it has been a while as far as costume making has been for me, but I am almost half way to completing my Darth Vader costume.
I will get photos out as soon as I can get my new work phone on the go with emailing pics. :D

The helmet on the right is from anarchy design through ebay.
The chest box and shin armour is from Korbanth another seller off ebay.
The helmet on the left is the rubies reworked helmet that I currently have on loan from postie and the shoulder armour and helmet in the middle is from yet another seller from ebay.
Just waiting on the suit from custom props, complete soft parts set.
Also the boots are from Fredstar, I just have to do some work on these for my ankles to fit into these ones. :)

I also have a light saber that was another purchase from ebay due to expense of and difficulty in obtaining some current models.
I will at some point do a conversion on both of my sabers to make them more compatible for dueling purposes.

That's looking really good - you've got some nice pieces there. I've used Custom Prop components for my x-wing pilot costume...they make very decent, quality soft-goods. Great to see your project coming along.

Hey Matt,
Thanks for that, as I have been learning it is a long and very patient road that has to walked for putting a costume together.
I have used both custom props and fenix props for my costume builds and other projects in the past.
