Title: Hello From Molalla
Post by: Tincan on May 29, 2024, 10:41:12 AM

Hello everyone,
 
It has been a lifelong dream to construct a screen accurate Vader costume. To that end, I am working on a build with the goal of making it as accurate as possible. I would also like to shoot for 501st approval and go on some troops. I am 6'3" barefoot, 240 pounds, with a size 12 shoe. I am planning on a boot/lift that gets me to an accurate 6'6" before helmet.
 
I've connected with the 501st SLD for build advice as well.

Welcome Matt.  Look forward to seeing your completed Vader!  We have a couple members in the Molalla area, and my daughter lives there.   :D

We do have opportunities to help out while your building.  Check the “Spotter Check In” forum for upcoming events.

Welcome! I am in southern Oregon and currently building my ESB Vader! I have a lot on Order but currently only have a few pieces.

I am 6'7 and will probably end up being a 6'10 Vader. Looks like Oregon is getting some imposing Vaders!
