got mine this morning. Just incredible. Consider me another VERY happy customer. Well done Sideshow!!!
It's just amazing as it is... but me being me... I'm going to lower the dome (slightly) and tilt it back. I'm going to lower the head itself slightly closer to the shoudlers, to get rid of the gap between the neck piece and the shoulder armour. (I know it gives better articulation, but it's all about the looks for me), I'm going to smooth the shape between his chest and his stomach.... so the chest box sits straighter (it sticks out further at the top than the bottom, more than it should)
and........ well, thats about it.
oh wait, I'm going to add the widows peak at the front of the dome. Thers a few scratches on the dome so it would need replacing/repainting anyway. I was considering extending the flare at the back, but after comparing it to screencaps... its the right size. (it might be slightly too thin when viewed from the front... but the side profile is exactly right... it just needs tilting back slightly and lowering)
so those things will give me something to do...... whenever... i get some spare time
I love this figure!!!

I definitely want to see this when you're done. A tutorial would be nice too.
Agreed! Glad you're digging it Darren. I love mine. Can't stop looking at it. Unlike some, I'm personally fine with it the way it is, but with your suggestions for these 'slight' modifications, it could only make it better!
Don't forget guys, this fella has a double jointed neck.. so pull his head forward that helps with his posture (making him have that natural forward neck that we all have - including david prowse) also it helps a little with the back of the dome and the shoulders
Thanks for the tip. I am too much of a coward to take dremel tools to my figures. I am afraid I will destroy them.
I'm not afraid I'll destroy mine with the dremmel, I KNOW I'll destroy it!
VERY true in my case LOL
Lol! What did you do with your destroyed Vader parts?
