It's funny... watching this I just realized without the helmet but everything else on Vader is basically a goth space knight!
That I so true. It also makes your own head look tiny with all the armour on.
I love this channel. The fact that you show that Christian men also enjoy so much about pop culture, and can enjoy it in a cosplay manner is awesome and inspiring. Thank you for all you do. Fist bumps from Canada
Ahhhhhh thanks. It's just me being me! I know what you mean about Christian men though.
Praise palpatine.
This looks awesome! I've always wondered how the costume is built up.
Suit looks amazing brother! Im almost finished with my suit as well , still waiting on the helmet and shoulder armor to come in , I ordered the same set you got after i saw your video. I should have my set by early February so ill be doing a suit up as well 💪🙏🫡
Ahhh nice. Great to know the video was helpful. I’ve been super pleased with mine.
Well done! Thank you!!👍👍💯
At 13:00, you reminded me of the Grail Knight from Last Crusade 🙂
Tell me about it. Or the Black Knight from Monty Python.
Great video
Thank you!!!
Where did you get the Darth Vader helmet sir
Nice Video👍 Perfect show and tell... That Breathing loop sound familiar😉 (Bogan)
Just got my two piece leather Vader suit the other day. After using the rubies suit for so long the real leather suits are lightyears better!
Everyone I speak to that made that change say how much better they are. I use a little spray bottle of alcohol to spray it after every troop. It’s how’s up really well.
Great video as always. I have a basic set up which is becoming fairly accurate, and getting it on is not for the faint hearted, I can't do it myself. But after watching you and how calmly you approached the process. I'm going to practice. I've been working on an ANH build for while, decided to go down the 3d print road for most of the kit, I'm good with Blender and 3d modeling. Most of it is screen accurate give or take a couple mm here and there. The prices of some of this stuff, especially from fenix is outrageous, which drove me to create most of the parts myself for a fraction of the cost.
I did forget to mention that I bought from fenix props during a sale. I don’t remember what it was but it was a hefty reduction.
@@Cosplayvicar they have a sale on now if anyone is interested. Also they are getting rid of some old stock so heavily reduced. Still out of my budget though.
I've just bought a sowing machine and I'm practicing quilting leather with wadding (pleather for now) for my suit and gloves, will follow the three netted piece suit design. Maybe a lot of effort but if I can save hundreds on the suit it will allow me to spend well on the cape/s boots and so on. I can't see me being able to make my own boots.
@@boscosworld I would LOVE to see that finished!!!! Well done
I need a sound set up like at at some point for my Kenobi Vader :P Its just an xcoser costume suit I use with my black series helmet so nothing fancy suit wise. What do you use for under the main leather suit though, under armor style cooling clothing?
Me gusta mucho tus vídeos y sobre todo Darth Vader...fabuloso ....estoy completando el traje de Darth Vader,sabes dónde podría conseguir o hacer el Chest box de Darth Vader?un saludo
Tengo un video en mi canal donde muestro mi caja torácica. Me imprimí en 3d. Hay enlaces entonces en las notas sobre otros vendedores.
Okok...encontré el vídeo que me dices,muchísimas gracias por todo,un saludoa
Great info Brotha for this up and coming ESB Vader. Question where did your Light Sabers come from?
Both are Master Replicas. Both were AHB and I converted to ESB but printed the missing parts etc. One is busted up so turned into the belt swinger. The other comes with a removable blade. When I last looked I found a bust-up sabre for about £90 on ebay.
Great info, thank you
just fyi thats not an "inner cape" its a sith robe. also instead of gluing your shoulder ends you could of had them connected with elastic cord so you can raise your arms and the whole piece doesnt wiggle around and the end caps go right back into place cuz of the elastic.
great video as always! What did you use for the padding on the back of your shin armor?
I just used some sponge
Thinking of putting a suit together, going to go a different route, rely less on the perfectness of the individual parts, and rely more on my natural stature. Ngl setting up a sound system both sounds frightnening and annoying. Might use a breathing soundtrack.
How do you attach the snaps on the under side of the armor?
Great suit up! Where did you get the stl for the shins?
Vader shin files… etsy.me/3gCiFih
Where do you buy the leather suit
how mush all suit? $$?
How was the video
Please can you fix your stl link. I have like and subscribed. I look forward to more videos.
Ooh. I’ll have a look into that. I wonder if I moved them in drop box and it’s caused problems.
@@Cosplayvicar thank you so much
Where did you get your voice changer?
It’s actually a small zoom guitar pedal.
may i ask how tall you are?
I’m 6.1 😊
What do u use for the voice?
One of my previous videos walks through the setup. It’s a zoom guitar pedal through a speaker.
@@Cosplayvicar lol I already use that setup 😂
How tall are you in and out of costume?
I’m 6foot 1 out of the costume. Next time I’m in it I need to get someone to measure me.
@@Cosplayvicar oh so you don’t use lifts?
@@jjsnacks8511 I do. I have 1inch lifts in my boots too.
Great video, voice changer is a bit too deep for my taste, but as long as you’re happy with it, that’s great.
Cape is too short imo
it was a pandemic build??? what does that have to do with the price of tea in china
