    Good luck on the journey. I started mine over a year ago and I think my wife regrets hearing me start with the words, "You should see this new upgrade for my Vader ... "

    She just sighed and asked how many hours I was going to have to work to cover my upgraded belt buckle, chest box, and shins that I'm looking to get.

    To me, it's a passion and something I've wanted to do since I was a kid. (Even though I chose to go with the ROTS Vader instead of the Vaders I grew up watching ... LOL).

    Eh, she doesn't even know about me wanting to upgrade my soft parts yet!

    Now, if only Darth Stone would only start making the ROTS shoulders again, my journey towards the Dark Side would be (well ... near being) complete!

    Yeah, don't get us started on the Darth Stone armor fiasco.
    I was next in line to get my armor, and he showed me a picture of it, and I was so elated, only to have that rug yanked from under my feet, LAN was somewhere behind me to get a set, so that's a touchy subject here.

    Yeah, everyone knows Star Wars. It's a cultural phenomenon. But there are those of us whose lives have been touched by it in ways most people can't fathom, and they'll never get it. My wife, God bless her, just doesn't understand why I "need" four Blas-Tech DL-44's and still want two more. She doesn't get why I "need" so many lightsabers. She can't fathom why I'm willing to spend so much time and effort and money on costumes.

    It's because my earliest memory is seeing A New Hope in the theater when I was three years old in 1977...back when it was still just called Star Wars.

    I was three years old and I knew right then I wanted to be creative, I wanted to tell stories that would "get" people in the same way. I never wavered from that--I'm still trying to get to a point where I can make a living as a writer. And my adoration for space opera, planetary romance, and fantasy has never waned...all because of a dirt farmer named Luke Skywalker, a space pirate named Han Solo, a snobbish princess named Leia...and a pure bad mo-fo named Darth Vader.

    kinda looks like chestbox might be just a tad too low, the stock rubies bodysuit has the chestbox strap holes too low, i had to remake new slots in suit and raise mine, back when i started, with the rubbies sauna suit, lol

    if its the cape, then you might have to doi wat i did with my rubbies armor, attach a strap system to keep the armor pulled down in front, or like a couple others guys have done use velcro under front and on suit to help in keepin it down and in place.

    other than that, minor lil thing, looks good.
    Yep, it was the rubies suit having the holes too low. I noticied it for some time now....it just didn't look right in a mirror or in pictures. I have since sewn up those holes and bought two small/thin leather belts for that ESB/ROTJ look where it wraps around and you can see it. I have alos upgraded to a better Cod Piece. The new Cod Piece was too thick so I shaved it by half and it looks better.
