This looks very solid. If they all turn out this well, it's going to be a very good run. ...Worthy of the Jedi Archives.

Good photos are so important.With a bad camera and bad lights the best prop looks like garbage.

This is the lesson I’ve learned Kroenen77 I never realised it so much quick pictures on the fly don’t do the piece / prop any favours.

Be really cool to see one of these next to a CFO and one of Mike Warren’s ROTJ Vaders. Hopefully someone out there will own all three.

Behold Uncle BR the maker on the set of the “The Bounty” if you look on YouTube for the making of the bounty 22 mins in you will see him looking not very busy.

On who framed Rodger rabbit he got mistaken for Spielberg a few times I can’t see it personally lol

Hello for those following this thread here is an update on a few things:

yesterday morning our cousin the son of BR passed in a car accident on his way into work at the film studio near Shepperton. This project was always a family thing and this has hit us hard and its been hard to even look at Vader today.
This is not a post I thought we would be writing so in light of his passing id respectfully like to rename BR to JBR.

Jeremy / Bob Rose Vader = JBR

We will complete the run and have made an additional 5 helmets after which no more will be made for the foreseeable future if at all.

This is not an existential angst post its to say why things may slow down a bit so please understand and look out for us contacting you when the next set are done.

 

[Woody]

Really sorry to hear that and condolences to you and your family. Thoughts and prayers are with you all.

The renaming form BR to JBR is a fitting tribute and please don't worry about the run slowing down. Somethings are more important and family must come first

 

[Jamesfett]

I am so sorry. Family first. Props can wait.

Tom

 

[RBJ]

So sorry for your loss. JBR Vader it is.

 

[skynet]

I am sorry for your loss...condolences to you and your family...

 

[DopamineDoc]

So sorry to hear! My condolences.
