All I can say is wow he is one of my favorite character's in the star wars universe and this is so incredibly awesome. Kudos and best of luck as you continue.
I received the soft(ish) parts of my costume last week. It fits like a glove, incredible when you think all this leather was patterned and stitched by correspondence. So in the last few days I've started bolting on all the armour.
Seems such a shame to drill holes through such lovely well crafted leather. Sorry Clothears!
To make it worse I started adding the paint splatters too!
It's really starting to come together now. I had a semi-try on and it looks awesome, I even hung a few sabers off the belts.
This is one complicated costume to put on, there's armour, body paint, prosthetics, soft parts, hair, electronics and tons of sabers. And I thought Vader was bad!!!
There's still lots to do. I have all the parts now I just have to make everything work together.
As you can see there's lots going on at the back too.
I rigged a few more bits on the bodycast today after a bit of jigging around to get all my bits to fit.
Still need to finish off the boots and build 3 more sabers.
BTW if any one has an old Hasbro Maul saber(the plastic one) they would like to sell me please let me know. As this could save me building one of them!
