Ever since we bought a bunch of Darth Vaders at BrickFest, I've wanted to make a
walking Darth Vader helmet.  How many uses are there really for a Darth Vader
helmet.

I modified the design of my latest micromotor based walker to make it fit more
compactly into the helmet.  Instead of having the motor inside the drive train,
I moved it above the drive train.  This let the walker + helmet be much shorter.

With mask and helmet Dark Helmet (from Space Balls) looks like this:

Sorry, no tangled schwartz.

<<snip>> (...) (URL) just made a typo. (...) That would be an understatement, it's ROFL funny! It's the best looking microwalker since this craze begun, IMHO. How about a video? (21 years ago, 22-Oct-03, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.starwars)

(...) sounds like a good space seed part... (...) hee hee! I can see it now to darth vader's voice singing: "I'm walin', yes indeed, I'm walkin'..." in a video like Tobbe suggested Jeff (21 years ago, 22-Oct-03, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.starwars)

(...) Not many ;-) (...) Pretty cool. I was wondering how you would do this, ever since Brickfest. Nice job! I'll leave the schwartz jokes alone :-) -TJ (21 years ago, 23-Oct-03, to lugnet.technic)
