	I'm wondering if I could do somthing with the shoulder armor rather than mess with the helmet. Adding some padding so the space from the shoulders to the mask isn't so far apart.

	Silver, I too have a tall neck and I would definately bring your armor up rather than mess with your MR. Just run some padding underneath your armor until you achieve the desired look and it will also create more clearance for the neck flare.

	Cool. Let us know how it turns out for you. The foam in the pic is cut from 1" foam squares that Walmart sells. -----signature----- "The Dark Side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural." SL-4821, 501st Legion, Carolina Garrison, Fort Bragg, North Carolina

	I am sure it has been mentioned, but I can't stress it enough... go to the Sith Lords Detachment of the 501st. They will have all the ins and outs for Vader costuming. Since they are in the business of screen accuracy, they won't steer you wrong. - Bill -----signature----- "In for a micron, in for a meter. No one makes a victim of folks I'm sworn to protect."

	Worked like a charm - I used 2 strips of foam rubber padding with a adhesive on one side that I got from Home Depot. It was only about a 1/2 inch thick so I used 2 layers. It bumped the shoulder armor just enough so the helmet doesn't float rediculously high above it. Thanks again, Seduced PS I've never been to the other boards but I'll definitly chack them out. Thanks for the advice.

	Whatever method you decide to use is good as long as it eliminates the "frankenboot" look. There's nothing more disappointing than seeing a nice Vader suited up only to notice the 4"-5" platforms he's wearing. -----signature----- "The Dark Side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural."

	My belt sits right on top of the cod and the bottom of my buckle is actually velcroed to the cod to help keep the belt in place. It should sit right on top, not overlap the cod and there should be no visible gap between them. -----signature----- "The Dark Side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural."
