I love how you say budget build and then say I spent $1500 like here I am trying to keep it under $700 😂

You did a great job! Vader's helmet is the most important component of the costume. The EFX looks awesome.

When you consider Sideshow's life-size statue is $9000 and this looks pretty darn close I would say it's a bargain!

If your boots are going to be visible, I recommend checking out these links for some general style ideas. The good new is that most people will not be paying the boots much attention, so its a reasonable place to cut corners if needed. 1.) www.therpf.com/forums/threads/need-some-inexpensive-leather-vader-boots-pics-up-very-happy.75409/ 2.) www.therpf.com/forums/threads/darth-vader-boots.1929/
