      They are from Custom Props, and it was their cheaper set using Alpacuna instead of wool. they were on discount and I bought them at $231 with shipping. He lists his stuff on ebay.

  4. vader45

    Custom Prop Capes ordered!!! I requested pleats on the robe. Its their cheapest set and they still only do 6 panels.

  5. vader45

    Good thing Lucas didnt right any scenes with Vader on Tatoonie or Prowse would have probably passed out in costume during shooting.

    I got an email fro m the Garrison Leader and he thought I wanted to submitt a Darth Vader Pre armor costume...lol I might have selected Darth Vader ROTS Pre armor on my app instead of Darth Vader ROTJ.

    I was looking throw the sith lord members on the 501st site and ill be honest. I found a lot of the Vaders subpar looking in my opinion..Would they be older Vaders when the standards were different years ago?

      Most likely, you have to remember a lot the high quality parts didn't exist back then. I think as the props improved so did the standards. Having been around back in '98 there were a lot more "homemade" costumes when we first started, now I think it's gone the other way with way more skilled prop makers providing most of the pieces.

      Yeah, I haven't sent in new photos of my updated Vader to our GML yet. I think it's probably that way for a lot of people.

    is cursing at Yahoo right now!!!

  9. vader45

    Its a nice feeling knowing you actually did something on your costume, and not just buy and wear all parts

      I hope I get that feeling some day. I might build my own belt boxes and chest box one day. But I'd like to get trooping first.

  10. vader45

    Ive seen a lot of people use the Gun metal/black on many esb/rotj shoulder bells. Where in the films have we ever seen that alternating scheme!!!!!!??????

  11. vader45

    Just got back from my first troop. It was easy and tame...was a nice to get a feel of how trooping operates.

    Quick Q: Would Auto touch up paint be able to fix small chips on the bells where they meat at the plate?

    2. Arcturus1020

      Arcturus1020

      Probably . . . if you used auto paint on them to begin with. Just make sure you're using the same type of paint.

    Someone said on my facebook that the GMLs who approve the costumes have not life for bein g strickt on the costumes >.>

    1. Arcturus1020

      Arcturus1020

      It depends greatly on the GML I guess and how familiar they are with the costume(s). <shrugs>

    The Portumac Belt Boxes can look really nice once accurately modified!!! Just wish the size could be modded too. lol

      The Boxes Porty Uses are actually a bit smaller in length. But I modded the aesthetic details to be accurate to the ESB/ROTJ Boxes. It really hides the size very nicely.

      Hrm, wasnt aware they were smaller. What about depth? I guess thats what really made me think they were big.

    4. vader45

      vader45

      Its the depth that is larger while they are not as tall.

  24. vader45
