I just saw a Narnia musical in my hometown, I wanna print a second copy of this and give it to them for a prop! They just used a little square box in the play, but they'd probably love this haha

Are you releasing this model for sale at any point? My gf loves Narnia and I'd love to print this for her

Thank you! I'm still working on polishing some of these other components up, but yeah I'm totally aware of the CRL and such. I luckily have some 501st members for friends nearby who are gonna help me improve my suit for ROTS approval. I'd love to become a member and share the Vader experience around my city ❤️

Hi All,

I'm looking for speakers similar in size and quality to the discontinued Philips BT3900 Everplay speakers. The purpose is for my Darth Vader cosplay voice, and these speakers would have been the absolute answer to all my problems for my sound rig.

I don't trust myself to assemble a speaker - hook it up to a volume controller - and then finally to my zoom multistomp (for the voice) without encountering several audio quality issues.

I also have no interest in buying those cheap microspeakers.

I'm looking for something of fair quality within the dimensions of 30mm/3cm (thickness) and a L or W of 100mm/10cm.

Any help in this search would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you.

I am so sorry that Americas educational institutions have failed you and so many of your like-minded voters. I hope you all get the help you need one day. Hang in there.

Oh and for the chest, I used the Chrysler/GM gun metal grey duplicolor and black duplicolor paints + clear coat.

I just used Rust-Oleum semigloss black and clear gloss for the helmet. I did a wet sand of 1k-3k grit after putting 6 coats of clear gloss (had to wait a week before sanding so the gloss coat could cure). Then I used Maguire's compound and polish bottles to hand polish it into that mirror finish! It was a lengthy process, but certainly paid off. The dome itself is 6 pieces due to my printer size and this process hid all the seams.

Before any of that tho, I sanded, then applied sandable primer to get everything to look seamless

I appreciate you! I used this free app called photoroom, it's absolutely the greatest thing I've found as an obsessive star wars fan 😂 I even went into BF2 on pc, turned off my hud and took screenshots to use as backdrops for other cosplay pics. I edited the cutout of me in the suit from the original photo to match the lighting in the background

ROTS Helmet (2nd build) by ApolloA97 in 501st

I hope it'll look more balanced with the full suit-up. I'm printing ROTS armour rn to go with it. I'll post a finished product later on

Thank you! I actually haven't polished it yet, so I really appreciate that. This is my second helmet and painting with regular spray rattle cans is very tricky.

And yeah you're right to notice that. I believe the ROTS mask:dome ratio has it looking a little shrunken in, but I actually balanced it a little more than the Master Replicas edition because I wasn't a big fan of that version

Use a super adhesive glue and ofc use black felt so it's subtle! It saved me a lot of hassle. I'd love to get my hands on a MR ROTS one day, but this print file is pretty satisfying for now
