Hello everyone,
It has been a lifelong dream to construct a screen accurate Vader costume. To that end, I am working on a build with the goal of making it as accurate as possible. I would also like to shoot for 501st approval and go on some troops. I am 6'3" barefoot, 240 pounds, with a size 12 shoe. I am planning on a boot/lift that gets me to an accurate 6'6" before helmet.
I've connected with the 501st SLD for build advice as well.
