Yep, the RPF is your first stop for a TN of info, and from there, there's a few boards and sites that deal specifically with Vader costumes. The best thing to do is first figure out a budget, do research and figure out what version of the suit, how accurate you wanna get, if you wanna buy all finished pieces, or pieces you have to do the work on, and ultimately how much you're willing to spend to get it. A really good first step into a suit I think is the helmet, it's the piece most people identify with the most, and something you can display in the mean time and keep yourself interested. Generally too, if you want a real accurate suit, it'll have to be piece by piece, unless you find someone selling a complete suit. Piece by piece, depending, you can sometimes save some money aswell. Good luck, and don't hesitate to ask anything here, or on the RPF.
