Title: Hello from Beaverton, OR Rogue One Vader in works
Post by: VADER0605 on October 28, 2022, 12:07:01 PM
Good Afternoon All,

My name is Chris and I am currently working on a Rogue One Darth Vader. I have all my parts either on order (and waiting...) or I have them in hand. I was recruited by a great guy, Nathan Willis, at a Boba Fett signing at The Star Wars Store in Washington Square Mall.  We spoke a lil bit about it and mentioned that I would make an amazing Vader with my size and frame, I am 6'6 and 256lbs and I also use to compete in bodybuilding like the legendary David Prowse.  So I got very interested and joined the Sith Lord Detachment and their forum and now the Cloud City Garrison. Here is my current WIP for those that may be curious...
Helmet: Bookface - Ordered
Armor: Bookface - Ordered
Shins: Bookface - Ordered
Chest Box: NathanZX10R - Received
Belt: Barkydog - Received
Belt Boxes: Fenix Props ANH Kit - Ordered
Buckle: Portumac - Received
Leather Body Suit: Fenix Props - Ordered
Cape Set: KJB - Ordered
Saber: BrotherVader ESB converted to RO by NathanZX10R - Received
Gloves: EndorFinder - Received
Cod Piece: Fenix Props ROv2 - Ordered
Boots: Leather Riding Boots - Received
Voice and Breathing System: MiCom 2.0  - Ordered on Run List Shipping before Christmas

Hopefully everything will be completed by late January or sooner I am hoping. I am really looking forward to trooping with you all and getting my costume approved by the 501st.

Me too!! It will be nice when I get my armor, helmet, and shin guards from Paul. It will start to feel a lil more real and also that I got some of my money back. LOL!!!

Nice to hear we're getting a Vader sized Vader. I'm almost 6'4 and need a Vader to look up to.

Thank you all for the gracious welcomes. Yeah... I should be about 6'9 in the suit. That's what Nathan and I are figuring at least. I just heard back from Fenix and my leather undersuit should be done by the end of this week and hopefully shipped out by next week. That will mean that my cod piece, leather suit, belt box pieces should all be here in the next couple of weeks. I am currently 11 weeks waiting for Skunkworks to finish my armor, shin guards, and helmet so that should be shipping out the next couple weeks also. EARLY CHRISTMAS!!
