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.

That would be an understatement, it's ROFL funny!
It's the best looking microwalker since this craze begun, IMHO.
How about a video?

Thanks! Philo keeps coming out with artful versions of my walkers, so I thought
I'd try that too. Its no Jama, but it can walk.

I will work on that.

Thanks Philo!
I have a few spare helmets if you want one......
I have enough micromotors and helmets to make 5 Dark Helmets, but I think I only
really need one.

Thanks for the offer, but probably a full 8010 on sale would be cheaper that
shipping fees !

I guess I'd better get the Space Balls DVD and capture some audio. "May the
schwartz be with you."
I just didn't have time to make a video this morning. I'll work on that
tonight.
Maybe I can sneek a schwarts on the model too :^)

Pretty cool. I was wondering how you would do this, ever since Brickfest. Nice
job!
I'll leave the schwartz jokes alone :-)
