Well ive decided to let go of my 95% ESB Vader. I really don't want to but there are alot of other things in my life right now that need the money more, and really i just feel like this has took a huge part of my time away from me and alot of frustration. Ive fought back and forth on should i keep this or let it go and i think im going to let it go. However as of right now i only want to sell this together as a lot. It is complete minus a leather body suit and chest armor. im looking to get $1100 for the lot, already around 400 off what they all add up to be. the only trades i will accept are perhaps spfx silicone zombie/chopper zombie with 600 cash. Here is the breakdown.
since i can't post many pics i'll just give you straight links to them
the helmet was a heavily modified DP CA by a fellow 501st member. This version was done up a little different and had the dome made nice and thick. The inside is padded around the crown of the head. The back inner side of the dome also has padding to kinda make it like a "cap" on your head. The Dome is held on by 4 earth magnets embedded in the fiberglass. so it can easily be put on as a one piece and you never have to worry about the "wobbly dome". the tusks are also aluminum and has fenix prop lenses in.

Gloves were Custom Fenix props. They made shorter and more screen accurate than the huge flare ones. The are XL in size like prowse's hands and i just wear mittens to fill them out and make my hands look big.

Cape and Inner Robe were both fan made. These are not fenix props or the ebay stuff. They were made by a tailor and are 100% wool and satin lined. The cape has the cape chain threaded all the way around the leather collar and i have a little metal clasp that you can undo to take it off. (simply ring the chain around in the collar to hide the clasp from site) The inner robe also has the correct 3 pleats on each side at the waist and the leg slits like in ESB.

The Chestbox's Origin is still a bit of a mystery but i believe it was made by RPF member dark-side. The box itself is gelcoated fiberglass and has aluminum rods and brass end greebles. all the other greebles are resin and the coin slots have the red gell placed on them. The straps were also requested to be worn and looked aged. Does not have electronics but i do know where you can get them.

The belt was custom tooled by Kent stone of stone studio creations. It has the bottom and top grooves pressed in and also has a Russrep aluminum buckle. The belt is made like the stunt belt so that the belt buckle is a real buckle and buckles at the front. The boxes were made by me and are accuratly sized. You may want to actually find and replace the green lights with pilot lights. Right now i just have LEDs under a Green lense and its not that bright but works. Low profile switches are on the outsides of the boxes and the belt is weathered like the screen used one. Lightsaber clip is also rivoted on and it is adjustable to quite a few waist sizes.

cod piece was made by a friend over on the 501st sith lord detatchment. Very accurate, dare say close in accuracy to the AP one. Real wraped leather and alot more accurate than the "diaper" ones you see on ebay.

Shins are the standard thick glossy ABS GT shins. The right one is larger than the left like the OT and they have adjustable elastic straps.
The boots are worn in/weathered harley davidson leather riding boots. the are calf high and size 12. they give you a 1.5 inch lift.
