Cathy’s Halloween Costume

This is Darth Vader in Star Wars!

Features of the costume

• The helmet is the most important part of his suit. The most apparent purpose it serves is to help Vader breathe.
• The rest of Vader’s suit is mostly made up of protective materials to shield his fragile body, which include garments, an armored breastplate, a girdle, and the system status belt.
• A lightsaber in red.

Making Process

• Step 1: Cut a 4-5 inches cuboid wood in the half, make a groove in both of pieces, and clue together.
• Step 2: Make a specific shape with Wood Lathe Machine.
• Step 3: Code in “buttoncycler” with 4 different modes(off, normal on, one by one, and vibration switch) on Gemma.
• Step 4: Cut a long clear pipe(size TBD) and put NeoPixel strip inside of it. (TBD: light diffusion)
• Step 5: Hide Gemma in a Pingpang ball on the bottom.
• Step 6: Spray paint, the end!
