	Wow! I'm very jazzed about how you made the "on demand quotes". Hats off to you for a very cool idea. Smart thinkin'!

	So I just took my costume out of its crate for a little touch up before the big day, and apparently my left shoulder bell is coming off of the chest piece! Any ideas on a good way to re-attach so I don't have to worry about this again? -----signature----- Igitur qui desiderat pacem, praeparet bellum

	Can you post some pics or go into greater detail on how it is coming off? Are you still using the stock Rubies attachment hinge? I may have a solution for you but it involves permanently attaching your bells so they don't hinge upwards. -----signature----- "The Dark Side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural."

	Hey seduced, do you still have those Vader sound files for voice clips and the breathing loop? Looks like I'll be forced to resort to using my MP3 player to supply sound for my Vader suit this year. I just wish I knew where Hyper was. Seems like he dropped off the face of the earth...

	Yes, I have the files. Just PM me an email address I can send them to. Jim at Hyperdyne just finished a batch of V2 units that sold out about 2 or 3 days ago. It will be another 2 months before he makes another run. Send him an email and he'll put you on his distro list when he's done with the next batch. -----signature----- "The Dark Side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural."

	Grah! I sent emails to him on the 21st AND 22nd of September and he didn't even bother to check his inbox. I'm never going to be able to get a Vortex. Never ever ever ever ever never ever. Anyway, I'm sending that PM to you.

	I've always wanted to toss in a bit of AC/DC in between my Vader quotes. Y'know, tunes like Back in Black, Dirty Deeds and Highway to Hell. I kinda picture Vader cranking those tunes in the old Tie Advance while picking off a few rebel fighters! Huzz

	While it would be nice to have the V2, I often ponder if I really need it. I mean, if I did have it, sure I could interact with people more but most of the time folks want to hear you say something from the movie. All of the voice clips I use can apply to anyone I meet in any situation such as "Give yourself to the Dark Side" and "Don't make me destroy you" just to name a couple of examples. If I had the V2, I just see myself repeating quotes I already have from the movie. If the V2 were cheaper, it would be a much easier purchase but not because I don't have the money, I do, it's just that I don't see me getting my money's worth of use out of it. -----signature----- "The Dark Side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural."

	It is darn pricey, there's no doubt about that. If you get one (and I don't have one either), you really need to practice with it in my opinion. I've heard a little bit of them and they do make you sound like James Earl Jones. But to realy sound like Vader, you have to deliver the words the same way. Its almost like practicing to do a convincing foreign accent. The stress on certain parts of the word is differnt than normal speech. For example, I think when Vader says "Your destiny lies with me, Skywalker. Obi-Wan knew this to be true", he doesn't just say it plainly like you and I would. He stresses the end of "your" and "me". The "n" in Obi-Wan has a real rumble, almost as if that part of the word came from a sub-woofer. You have to view Vader's speech as a distinctive accent. Once you master the accent, add a V2 and freak people out!

	Does anyone have a portable amplifier that you would recommend to the rest of us for audio? Links and pics are helpful, too!

JBL speakers work really well, if you maybe used a newton amp with the wire cut and a jack installed to hook up the jbl, then you might have a good lil system pretty cheap. -----signature----- [image=http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c291/LAN-ED-TUL/lansigbar.gif]

	Well, my procrastination of redoing my Vader helmet/lid has come back to bite me in the butt. It's 2 weeks until Halloween and I'm still sanding the Primer. I'm just about done with the Dome, but still have the Face piece to do, not to mention the whole interior. I'm having eye surgery this coming Thursday, the 23rd, so I'm not even sure I'm going to be able to dawn my costume this year anyways. sigh I think I may have put on too much Primer on the Dome part of the helmet, well, that or I just scratched it way too much when trying to remove the Clear Coat I had put on last year. Sanding is a pain in the arse! LOL I'm nervous about applying the paint, as I just hope it sticks, not to mention shines. I may have to just purchase another helmet/lid before next year and might pay someone to paint/mod it for me. seduced, I've sent you a PM with my email address for those voice files. Thanks in advance. -----signature----- Midwest City, Oklahoma . "The Dark Side of The Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural."

	you should use a filler primer it helps to fill in the scratches better. -----signature----- [image=http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c291/LAN-ED-TUL/lansigbar.gif]

	Ugh! Didn't know there was such a thing, plus it's too late as I painted it today. And yup...looks like total dog crap! It's trashed, well, at least the dome is, haven't even started on the face piece. sigh I'm so d*mn frustrated, but hey, first time doing anything like this. Well, no Shawn Vader this year. -----signature----- Midwest City, Oklahoma . "The Dark Side of The Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural."
