I made a link to a great photo in which the dark and the white vader are looking at each other. I can't place the photo in this e-mail because I haven't got a site yet.

Chill it works! Thanks for all advice, now the time of building the darth vader white version will start.
No I won't paint my ligthsabre white!:angry THATS uke uke !
I have got some friends who are pro SW costume builders. I only need to find a tailor who can make the soft parts for the costume. I have got an adres in Rotterdam. When everything is finished I will send some photo's.
See ya

My one suggestion would be to try and do something different with the lenses so they don't look like just holes in the helmet, almost like there are no lenses at all! Somehow the lenses in this White Vader costume don't look as good as they do in let's say, a TK helmet. Is there a way to add a metallic / silver look to them and still retain some sort of visibility? The way the lenses are right now, it just makes the helmet look unfinished!

In the end, I hope it all comes together like you hope it will!

:cheers

I'd echo that on the helmet lenses.
Mirrored lenses might work, also less pure white and more shades would make it look less bland.

I do like the hello kitty photoshop tho, mind if I link and post it elsewhere?

Given that it looks like an albino Vader, how about cherry red lenses?

My understanding is that this was a suit made by Jedi Jeffrey and a friend of his. You might want to try to contact him through eBay and ask, but when I saw him a little while ago I recall that he said he had worked on this suit.

Suggestion:

Instead of an all-white Vader, go back and look at that comic pic. He has shades of gray. Perhaps a "not-quite white" look would help alleviate that black lenses in white "look".

Perhaps gray armor w/ white undersuit, maybe a gray cape. It would look distinctive, giving you the "redeemed Vader" look, but not quite the
Snowstormed Vader.

Just my .02

I'm still not buying into it. If he was redeemed, how come they don't give him a less scary looking life support system. They could come up with something, like a transparent bubble over his head (bubble boy Vader) It just does'ent work fellas, come on.:facepalm

OK, OK Enough laugther! It's clear that the opinions of an albino darth vader are strong opposites! Some think of an albino like ukeuke !
But some are still ++ curious.
- First cherry red lenses, NO WAY DUDE! I have paintball lenses amber-red.
- No I haven't painted a perfectly black darth vader helmet white! I bougth a helmet just out off a mold. Same as the shoulderarmour, shinguards, boxes and buckle.:wacko
-I have used 3 different kinds of white! So the albino isn't looking like a frozen snowcone!!
-The hard parts are battledamaged! Cause some vaders are looking brand-new, just out the bubble wrap.
- Undersuit+codpiece+gloves is made by the famous SWToys in Argentina. Looks worn and used.8)
- HUGE Cape and robe are made in Texas
- Boots are mean-looking white bikerboots from LA. Not those fancy boots!
When you have guts I'll see you at the Celebration IV next year.

Just noticed that you have an ANH helmet with ESB/ROTJ gloves, and only three knobs on the belt boxes. Oh my!!! Ok, call me anal...

I know I'm not the complete and perfect copy of darth vader. But that wasn't my goal.8)
I just want to be an albino Vader in a different style. That's why the costume isn't the perfect copy!
I got great reaction of the SWfans, when I'm on the street with a few of my SW friends. I know how to get the attention . Easy 2 or 3 Stormtroopers to get teh first attention than 6 or 7 feet of space than White Vader and than 3 feet space and 2 Stormtroopers as guards.

Tomorrow the question will be asked which city wil be our goal master White vader. Amsterdam will be.
Chill 8)
