Looks great Nathan! I know it's a pain in the *ss to paint it, mine didn't go to plan either, lol. I stuck with it though. I just need to re-do the paint on my ears.
p.s
I like your new looking Vader display
There are some in ESB & RotJ that are uncredited aswell, they going on the list? If yes, i've found a few.
Richard Bonehill ... Stormtrooper / Snowtrooper / Rebel Soldier / Tauntaun handler (uncredited)
Chris Parsons ... 4-LOM / K-3PO / Stormtrooper (uncredited)
Dickey Beer ... Barada / Stormtrooper / Biker scout (uncredited)
(Thats for both ESB & RotJ)
I've painted all of mine, so far. Harder than i thought it would be, need a steady hand. Not tried the vocoder yet though. You've gotta slow down a bit Nathan, it's taken you days to do the helmet? It's taken me months, and i'm not done, lol.
Haven't done the vocoder either on mine thinking about it, lol. Need to repaint some lines on mine aswell, bit wonky, lol. I'm not gonna bother with padding though, gonna have mine for display i think.
I've done quite abit to mine since those photos. Hand painted most of it (Doesn't help with shakey hands, lol) Still not done though, i'm too slow, lol.
