Hey Paul,
Just thought I'd pass along some adjustments I made to the Black Series Darth Vader. I really love the paint scheme on this guy (although this particular sample has some issues), but as usual, the big silver string takes a bit away from the look...and the way the cape billows out also affects the appearance.
Since the head comes off so easily, I decided to try to hide the string by stringing it under the cape, across the front of the neck post, and then looping it around. I was surprises to discover that not only did it hide the string, but it also pulled the cape ever so slightly down and forward, giving it a more realistic drape across Vader's shoulders.
It still requires a little tugging on the cape to get it just right, but I think it looks much better. What do you think?
