	Hey Guys! Anyone have any comments on the correct cape length and where it should hang? I'm considering having mine hemmed (folded and sewn, not cut) so it hangs to just about 1/4 inch from the floor. That way it should not drag and become torn or dirty. What do yuo guys think of that? Huzz

	That's the best way to do it. Keeping it just off the floor so you don't trip all over it, but not so high up that it looks funny. I'd say an inch off the ground would be the max. -----signature----- "...what the hell's an aluminum falcon...." - The Emperor when he learns of the destruction of the Death Star

	Wel guys, I finally got to put my suit on today at work. I manage a local Halloween shop and we decided to have a little fun today. I have a lot to do to it, but I still like the way it looks out of the box. I will psot pictures as soon as I can. -----signature----- "I love Darth Vader stuff!" www.mhdesignstudio.com

	well tried my suit on for the first time in months to see what else needed work. Then I discovered a pretty bad flaw. The armor put a nice little scratch in my clear coat. I think I corrected the problem by adding some craft foam to the back of the armor around the neck. Of course now I have the great little scratches to live with. -----signature----- "...what the hell's an aluminum falcon...." - The Emperor when he learns of the destruction of the Death Star

	depends on if it sracthed the grey part. that what happened to mine right in the front caused by the neck of the mask rubbin the armor. thats when i had to do the paint job to the rubies armor, and im glad i did too, now it looks 100% better with the right grey color on there. -----signature----- [image=http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c291/LAN-ED-TUL/lansigbar.gif]

	Congrats on the new lid, Lan. Seems that everybody's costumes are really coming together. I just finished a makeshift cod peice. I took a few snaps with it and what Ive done so far to see how everything is coming together. I'm very impressed with my creativity so far! Wish I could say that body jacket is the actual one, but its the same leather jacket I used in this "first round" pic: Looks like I came a long way eh? -----signature----- ESB Vader Costumer
