Vader Back!!

I rebuilt Vader's legs since the last pair were too bent and he was in a slumped stance...never worked for me!

Here he is with the newly painted Helmet, and new cape and robes! I just have to find one of those clips to hold the cape chain on the top of the chest armour!

His boots are still the rubber riding boots, but I got some stuff to make tires shiny and applied it to the boots. Now looks way better!!


I also cluttered up my Indy/Yoda/Gollum area with a couple wall torches from Ikea. I LOVE the flickering effect they have...sooo cool! It works with the indy stuff and Gollum ayways. I have a freind with some fake vines I will be getting aftre they are done with them so I hope to use them to cover the cords a bit.

I also framed an INdiana Jones poster I got at the new movie.

AWESOME DUDE!!!
You got some good taste at setting up those displays.
I've been busy studying Visual C#
and boy is it a pain :o(
But I'll figure it out.
You said it's getting warmer up there, It's HOT as you know what here. The A/C stays on high now.
My little dome motor is still going with no problems.
SeeYa

Glad to hear the motor is working still!!!

Is A/C not a popular thing up there? You just about could'nt survive down here without it.

He was my little buddy and it allmost killed me when he pasted.
He tried to get past the seagure, But it was too much and very painfull.

Jason,

Well...I've looked as much as I possibly could with the Darth and
3PO heads. THEY ARE GONE!!!!! I'm sorry bud, I tried every store within 60 miles from my home. I guess they were flying off the shelves after I bought those last 2 for ya. But, if I see them in the comic book stores and collectors shops, I'll let you know. They would probably want more money than Radio Shack though. I'll still look around, but, I doubt theyre in stock anywhere anymore.

Calvin,

Sorry about your squirrel. I hope things get better for you. Pets are like family. Take it easy bud!! I know its rough.
