1 GT2004 Chest armor. Nice, but the bells are too high, too small, or the front is too long...not sure what it is.
2 GT2004 Chest armor. Another angle shot.
3 Detail of the front of the armor.
4 From here, this are a set of GT Fiberglass shin guards, painted by VaderPainter. (I can't complain about the scratches, though) Besides, everything in SW looks like "used" anyways.
5 This is the belt, also got from Ebay. I like the brightness of the buttons. Belt buckle being replaced for an ACCURATE ALUMINUM one, and the knobs... replaced but not by accurate ones, but passable. Accurate knobs on hand, though.
6 Next to a DP CA helmet (not the one I've had).
7 My original CA (Classic Action) Vader helmet. It's customized with automotive paint, painted afterwards with accurate paint scheme and color. Accurate aluminum tusks, replaced lenses, replaced mouth mesh and really shiny finish.
8 Showing of the Don Post seal on the "crown", which I don't like it BTW.

10 Detail of the seal
11 Some of the foam taken out for flexibility.
12 The only bad thing I noticed (also mentioned by the seller, which it was good), there's a little hole in the internal lower mesh, but barely noticeable when worn, and the paint is not perfect (complete) on the grill.
13 From here, it's an MPP replica, fully functional as well for the Vader belt. I've already added the grips and replaced the activation board replaced the shroud with one with "D" ring, and removed the "MPP" seal.

15 Detail of the bubble button activation panel that came with it, which I replaced with the calculator circuit panel for the ESB look.

21 All fiberglass, and machine-aluminum details. I can't complain at all for all this...but I've got scammed for $500, and never received these items! :-(

24 The helmet is a Norwegian-made helmet. I found that out by coincidence.
