	Hey guys, long time and no postings from me. I've been busy with other stuff. But now I am working full tilt on my Rubies Vader mods. I have a new body suit on the way, and I am getting a lightsaber clip, codpiece and belt box screws from sitharmor. I have been working on making the mods to my helmet, but I need help. I cannot seem to find the postings where seduced posted pics and info about the fan setup in his helmet. Can anybody tell me what size fan was used for the top of the helmet? I have the one for the mouth screen area, but before I go spend the cash, I want to be sure to get the right one. -----signature----- "I love Darth Vader stuff!" www.mhdesignstudio.com

	Thanks for that LAN, but I am not intending on joining the 501st. My costume will not be accurate enough for them. Plus I don't want to spend more time trudging through another forum trying to find this one tidbit of information. I am simply looking for the size of the fan that seduced used in the top portion of his Rubies helmet. -----signature----- "I love Darth Vader stuff!" www.mhdesignstudio.com

	Hey Martin, I sent you a PM with a link where to buy the exact fan I use. It is an 80mm PCI slot case fan. I had to remove the metal grill on the front of the fan so it would fit in the mask. The shape is perfect and the fan fits in the crown nicely. I have two 9 volt batteries that sit underneath the fan. One powers the fan in the grille and the other the PCI fan. I bought two 9 volt battery metal clip holders from Radio Shack and velcroed them in the top of the mask. I then put a small strip of velcro on each of the battery holders which would hold the PCI fan in place. So the PCI fan sits on top of the batteries which put the fan exhaust in a perfect position just above the lip of the crown. -----signature----- "The Dark Side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural."

	Thanks for that Seduced, and don't worry about e-mailing me pictures. I have all the info I need from the above pics. I even checked locally, and I will be able to get almost the same fan at Micro Center for $6.00. I am going there tomorrow! Yippee! -----signature----- "I love Darth Vader stuff!" www.mhdesignstudio.com

	No problem. It's weird though, I haven't checked this board in months but it's like I felt I had to check it yesterday for some reason. When I saw your PM I figured it would be weeks old instead of only hours. Maybe there really is a Force! Now all I need to work on is the mind trick so I can get people to do what I want! -----signature----- "The Dark Side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural."

	Thanx ericT for encouraging me (way back on page 2). I am 5 foot 11, and femine and was greatly discouraged by the fact that to look good as Darth Vader you need to be taller. So what? Surly the enjoyment of costuming is dressing up as the character, no matter your height or stature. I don't care bantha fodder about other people who think I'm too small, or too thin. Anyways I was thinking of buyin the Rubies suit on ebay but now I think I'll either go the whole hog and buy a fan made one, or make my own using parts available on ebay. It may be more expensive, but I will feel like the real deal without any guilt. Not that I'll be able to complete this in a week, being just a very poor student! It wil probably take me several years... -----signature----- Inquisitor and personal tool of HIM and HER in the SWC Empire Sith Warrior in the Acolytes of Darkness Glamourously Beautiful and Dazzling e-wife of Rev Darth Vader is my Dad.

	Hey Guys! Its been a while since my last post (as usual). Keeping busy I see. I wanted to commend all of you on your hard work! You've really taken the Rubies costume, and made it something really nice! Well done! I've been doing some upgrades myself. I finally after about 3 years decided to make my OT belt screen accurate for ROTS. I'm wondering if anyone has cast the rubies shins in ABS? any info would be much appreciated. here are a couple cool shots from several events Garrison Carida has appeared at. First my belt, second is from the Franklin Institute exibit STAR WARS: where the science meets the imagination. And then Vader VS. the PHILLY PHANATIC!!! And lastly a random group shot. Keep up the great work guys!!!! -----signature----- "From my point of view the Jedi are Evil!" - Anakin Skywalker ROTS SL4118 - 501st Legion Garrison Carida http://garrisoncarida.com/index.php
