	So, I could buy the Rubies costume and make mods... That sounds more feasable than starting from sratch, though no less expensive It was what I was planning to do, but your poor reviews of the suit put me off! But as long as I mod the chest plate, belt boxes (and possibly belt) and shoulder armour it should be fine. Could buy new cloak and shoulder armour from fenixprops... Will have trouble getting hold of a nice helmet though... I'd rather die that wear the cheap Rubies thing and I wouldn't know how to start on moding it. Vaderfan- your costume looks amazing, I won't give up yet!! One day, I'll be Darth Vader too, one day... Emergency!! Need your help- this looks like a Don Post helemt but I'm not entirly sure- Can someone else have a look and confirm?

Yeah that is a DP helmet or one of the Rubies repops from the new century. One of their later releases after they had removed the molded tusks and made that area flat with chrome stickers for tusks. Too small of a mask except for kids. Not even a decent collectible in my opinion. As far as the Rubies costume goes, it really isn't that bad. I have an XL body-suit from the costume that I can trade with someone for some sort of Vader goodness. -----signature----- "I love Darth Vader stuff!" www.mhdesignstudio.com

	Here is a reference shot. It is indeed child sized. I believe the Hasbro Voice Changer helmet is based off of the same molds as the Don Post Standard, but refined and made more symmetrical. Their sizes are identical. So if you need a size reference, refer to the Hasbro VC. The Hasbro's eye inner eyelids are cut out more, and the neck has been considerably shortened. -----signature----- Sincerely, - Mac NEW ARTICLE: "Days with Clays: Scratch-building a Vader Facemask" http://thepropden.aokforums.com/days-with-clays-scratch-building-a-vader-facemask-rots-vt700.html

	Hi. New to the forum. I've been doing some research on the DV cod piece. I saw a Sith Armor one on EBay. Was wondering if anyone else has one of those? I have a 32 inch waist do you think it will be okay? Thanks. -----signature----- papatoolsdv aka darin

	SA cod is a bit thick i have one, i used it till i found the rots cod from fenixprops, which is lucas alverez's ebay account. you would be better off chekin out Fenixprops stuff, he has a couple different cod styles i think. and theyre made from leather too. -----signature----- [image=http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c291/LAN-ED-TUL/lansigbar.gif]

I too have a SA cod and it is indeed too thick. It made my inner robe flare out when I wore it. I am now gonna have to get another one, when I can afford it. -----signature----- "I love Darth Vader stuff!" www.mhdesignstudio.com

	Hey Guys, I got the modfication bug - my master replica helmet doesn't fit me as well as I'd like. The problem is that my head and neck are too long for the lid and it sits too high off my shoulders - roughly 2.5 inches. I'm thinking something can be done with the cylindrical padding inside the top of the mask, but am hesitant to mess with it. Any ideas? Harry

	that covers the magnet area on top of mask, you might remove it and go with slimmer padding, but as heavy as that lid is, you may wish you hadnt. -----signature----- [image=http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c291/LAN-ED-TUL/lansigbar.gif]

	The padding around the forehead may be snug enough to compensate for taking a couple inches off that cylinder. Do you know of anyone who has made a mod like this?
