ESB Vader display teaser pics

[GINO]

Cool. Just let me know when you are ready, whenever that is. :rolleyes

In all the years I've known Gino, I haven't had any reason to doubt his total and absolute attention to detail. He has an uncanny knack of getting a prop to look screen used (accurate). He has the VERY HIGHEST standards and he will not leave a single stone unturned till he gets that goal.

You have my fullest respect Gino. thumbsup:thumbsup

I love the chin-up pose you choose, I think iit resumes the spirit of ESB Vader perfectly. The helm is absolutely stunning.


Congratulations

 

[CRIZ_BEE]

Wow, your Vader looks absolutely amazing!!!!

 

[Darth Niob]

Nice Vader. Cant wait to see that comparison.

 

[GINO]

Me too. But I think we'll be waiting for a long time.

Lookin kick ass Gino..

If I may add something that is strictly my opinion..

I think if you bulked up the chest a little bit more, the difference would be
amazing

Just an opinion though.. Remember Prowse was a Bodybuilder

 

[GINO]

I think the ESB mannequin is just about right. I think the ROTJ version needs some bulking up in the midsection.

I would bulk up him too a little bit:thumbsup

 

[GINO]

Thanks for the advice, but I trust my judgement.
People always tend to over bulk their mannequins.

 

[Darth Niob]

Do you have measurements from the chest (under the arms) without armor? Would like to compare that with my own mannequin.

 

[Goldenrod]

Superb:thumbsup

I know we hold Gino to a higher standard, but this is a showoff thread, not a critique thread.

I would love a good ole fashioned Vader showdown. I thought we'd get that with SL's, but I think it just fizzled out.

I think a big part of a good looking Vader is in the shoulders and Gino's nailed it.

 

[GINO]

I don't mind critique as long as it's genuine and not just put out there for the sake of trying to get under my skin. You can tell the difference because the non-genuine comments almost always come from people I have "history" with or their friends.

If I think the critique is valid, I'll say so and adjust accordingly.
If I don't think it is valid, then of course I'll say that too.

All things considered, it's my own judgement/knowledge that led me to this point.

 

[Qui-Gonzalez]

I can go on record and say that GINO's Vaders are the only ones I have seen that have made me grumble in jealousy at the attention to detail. People can talk all the game they like, but the proof is in the pudding as they say. His stuff is incredible...'nuff said.

 

[GINO]

I appreciate that. :love

 

[ArtisanProps]

I absolutely meant no disrespect towards Gino and I think he knows that..

I love his Vader's, and was just voicing an opinion..

sorry if I came off as being too judgemental..

 

[GINO]

No prob Doug. I knew.

 

[Clutch]

Doug, I know you didn't. It's all good. Everyone is different and as Gino has explained, he doesn't mind critiques. I've just kinda adopted my own rule based on past experience that if the person wants to show off an item, then I'd hold off on giving any comments as to how to make it better or if I saw anything wrong with it. If they said hey, here is something I'm working on, what are your thoughts? Then yes, I'd let the comments fly if I had anything to add.
Some people aren't as thick-skinned as Gino. :cool
