Haha, I definitely have a problem. According to my wife I’m done with Vaders though, however she didn’t say anything about other characters.  8)

What all do you have left to do on your ANH?

I am going for the weathered version of ANH and I just finished up the paint job of the face mask. Its literally the 3rd time redoing it including the complete resanding of clearcoat off and redoing the silver... we went with a Jaguar paint color and it was way off after the clearcoat. So I went in a completely different direction with the gunmetal... and I also decided to handpaint the silver with no tape to give it that weathered space look that Lucas was going for in ANH. Today is going to be tusk day, finish up the armor day and attach the bells and I am going to take my cape to the seamstress and get measured for it and my CRProps cod piece showed up last week even though I had a Artisan Props version which is fantastic and he doesnt make them anymore. I might sell that one because I love the CRProps one alot. Your ESB looks amazing though!!!

 Thanks Chris! I did quite a bit of the work myself again like I did with my ANH. The chest box was fun to print, sand, fill, prime , paint and wire….

Send me pics of the AP cod I might be interested for my ANH. I can’t afford the CRPROPS but those would be my choice in any Vader.
