Today's my 30th birthday and I wanted to release something very special to celebrate! What better helmet than the GOAT of villain helmets and the best looking version of Darth Vader?!? (I will die on that hill btw)

Of course I wanted to go a bit overboard with the helmet so it also includes a damaged version based off the Kenobi show, I know it's not technically supposed to be the same sculpt as RotS but it was fun to add!

The regular helmet also includes 2 version of the faceplates: one for vacuum formed eye lenses and one for flat lenses. For a proper Revenge of the Sith Vader you'll want to use the flat lenses but I figured some people out there might appreciate a vacuum formed one as well! Use the lens cutout template in conjunction with the flat lens faceplate and ridge system to hold the lenses in place easily!

Some additional materials will be necessary to complete the helmet. You'll need 3/4" width elastic bands to connect the face and neck together - use the modeled ridges as guides! You'll also need two 1.25" diameter magnets to connect the dome to the top of the head. The mesh behind the top respirator and ventilator is also included as a file but should probably be some kind of black fabric for total accuracy.

All the vents on the main faceplate are numbered and feature flat bottoms to easily fit on a printer build plate (it does mean they stick out a little on the inside though). These are often removed in favor of actual vents and fans though!

As with the other helmet projects, the files include:
