Hi, I just wanted to share an update on my Darth Vader ESB build, I know not everything is perfect, I'm open to hearing suggestions and feedback. I changed a lot of parts from my last post, the main one being the fabric and fit of the suit.

Imo you need to upgrade the codpiece and change material straps on your chestbox to leather.
Otherwise it looks pretty good 👍

Edit - also try to position your belt over of the codpiece, do not wear them in the same line

These are the big things. And the mesh grills are way too large. Tusks look too big. And those platform boots probably are too tall to be approvable, but you're not the only Vader who needs the extra height

I like that your photos are in an urban and less common setting. It's distinctive.

A friend has asked to take my approval photos. (I think I just need to spend an hour or so fixing two last things.) There's an interesting grapiffi-covered tunnel on campus that I think he wants to try.
