My vader helmet should be in tomorrow unless UPS drops the ball again. I will have to do some rework but for the money it is the best out there. I have been searching for belt box parts to build my belt. I tend to build as much as I can myself so it is the way I want it. I even taught myself to sew when I redid the interior of a car that I restored.

Lan my boxes have been ordered along with a box that will work as a chest box. I have found a couple of places with the square green lights but I have not found the red light that I like yet. Another project for my spare time what ever that is. lol

try ****smiths. thats where i got mine from, and they look like the ones i seen on the real movie prop. go to ****smith.com then do a search for red bezel led, should be right at top of page. kinda looks like a cop red light, short chrome bezel.
aw crud, it wont let me type the first part of name. if you want the link, i'll email it to you.

Would you be refering to that fellow from down under? If it is I have seen his stuff, I was hoping to find something in the US to keep shipping costs down.

yep. thats the one. thats the only drawback to it. part price is cheap 1.44 apiece. shipping kills ya. but so far, thats the only place i found that had the accurate red led. i know lots of folks just grab a red led and chrome bezel at RS. i use them all the time myself, and i suppose it would work ok, if those nit picky die hard vaderites would not sit there and go, ya know thats not correct, it was blah blah blah, etc...
so i guess in this paticular item, the boxes, i want them to be as accurate as i can be. which isnt too far off, asides from the box sizes themselves being just a tad off. thats really the only thing.
and i dont think anyone will be able to judge at a glance, a 1/2 here, or a 1/4 there in difference. as long as those lights look great, bright and catch your attention, thats all that matters, i think.
hey wolverine, how do you strap on your chest box on your suit? i have the top 2 straps in a loop so i stick right arm thru right strap and over head, then left arm thru left strap, and over head. making a crossed over deal. is there a better way to do it, or am i doin it the right way?
just wondered.
hey, don, where'd ya find a box for chest at? what was its dimensions?

Same place we got the belt boxes from, part# 806-1536, the size is 7.3"x7.3"x2" it is a little bigger than the Rubies box but not by much. I can cut it doem in the 2" thickness if it is too big but it should work well. I also bought the metal rods, coin slots and rod ends so I am on my way to having the parts for the chest box.
