No new news on the R2 Front, but....

Took the family to see X-men: Wolverine today. Wow, great movie. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Marvel has opened the flood gates of concepts for films to come. They can do Origins of their whole catalog. Not that they should, but it will keep Marvel in the movie business for a LONG time to come.

As a side note, when the picture was over, I turned to my wife and asked her who Hugh Jackman reminded her of...she thought but didn't say anything. I then told her that I could see him playing a young "Inspector Calahan" from the Dirty Harry films of the 70's/80's.























Not sure of a plot or anything, but he's got the look. She immediately agreed...so there, I posted it first! LOL 3 May 2009

Hopefully, Clint Eastwood will see this and buy me a beer to say thanks! LOL

As far as my R2 build goes, still waiting on the skins. Hopefully, I'll hear something soon.

Wooden Frame it is!

So, it's official. I've decided to go with a wooden frame. There are multiple reasons, but, primarily it's cost and ease of use.

Skins haven't arrived yet, but I'm sure they'll be here soon.


Stay Tooned!

Vader Suit-Up

First 100% successful suit-up! Now that the cape has come back, everything was test fit and looks good! I installed a computer fan in the helmet to keep me cool (thank goodness)!

Sherrell Skins

On the list! Can't wait!

Here's what one of the four pieces to the skins set looks like. Familiar?

Update on the Vader cape...

My re-fit cape arrived today and test fittings show it fits the armor and helmet PERFECTLY.

The LA Suit, Cape, Gloves, Robe, and Codpiece are an incredible value and made to the highest quality. I'm VERY pleased and would recommend the pieces to anyone trying to put together a Vader costume representing any of the films.

Dome arrival!!!!

Well, of course it would happen while I'm out of town!!! I came back from visiting family, about 6 hours away, and there was a box sitting in front of my door. It was my dome! Can't wait to open it up!

Pictures to follow!!!!!

Box appears to be in EXCELLENT condition! I'm just glad no one swiped it. It sat in front of my house for at least 4 days with no disturbance. WOW!

Domes are being shipped!
