Very cool. Rivals the one woodrocket made completely out of sex toys, lol.

Oh, and since a couple of people have PM'ed me asking about it, here's another pic of The Joker.

...incredible...it looks so real...SCARY!

Really well done! Love the base. I too put together a Vader, but mine doesn't have the cool base like yours, and mine is ANH version. I also troop in mine in the 501st (see my avatar), so I can really appreciate the accuracy and painstaking details in yours. Bravo!

Thanks, man. I'm way too short to ever pull off dressing as Vader so this was destined to be a display piece from the start. Took me forever to get it done, but the end result is exactly what I had in mind when I started on the project. Appreciate the kind words.

That's an awesome, well done project. I'm impressed and jealous!

This is insane! He looks absolutely real. Stunning!

And here's the new one:



Not much difference at all, right?

The above looks like a scene out of Robot Chicken SW, where he needs to go to the toilet pronto.

The new one looks friggin' awesome! Very impressive indeed!

AND yours is better than any licensed piece you could buy, made with more love and attention. Plus it's one of a kind.

Thanks, guys. Appreciate all the nice words.

And even though this was supposed to be the Vader thread here's a quick comparison of real Heath and replica Heath.

You may fool all on this thread but you won't fool me. Ledger ain't dead, right? You kidnapped him and forced him to pose on your living room. I'm calling 911.
