Hello, all. It was suggested that I post some updates regarding my plans for an ESB Vader build I am working on to get feedback from the garrison in addition to any feedback I receive from the helpful folks over on SLD. The route I am going is to use recommended parts from established vendors over there, but here's the list of major components I've either already purchased or plan to.
Helmet/Shoulder Armor - Bookface/Darth Ugly (Received)
Shins - Korbanth ABS (Received)
Cape - Custom Props Premium Wool (Ordered)
Codpiece - Artisan Props (Wait list)
Bodysuit - CP two piece (Ordered)
Inner Robes - Custom Props (Ordered)
Boots - Chippewas (Received)
Gloves - Fenix Props with third panel/gusset (Received)
Belt - Artisan Props (Received)
Belt Boxes - DarkSide (Received)
Chest Box - DarkSide (Wait list)
Buckle - Fenix Props (Received)
Saber - MR 2005 (Received)
Saber Hook - Wanna Wanga (Received)
While I do understand that much of the approval process goes beyond the actual parts, and making sure everything is worn and fit correctly for accuracy, I would be interested to know if anyone can cite any concerns over the vendor list. Based on feedback received over on SLD, they've expressed no worries over the path I'm on, but as I was reminded, they're not the ones approving me. Can any of you spot anything that I should reconsider?
Thanks so much in advance and Happy Star Wars Day!
