Vader : koooshhh!! ishhhhhh !!!! koooossshhh!! Passenger : hey man you konw you could take some Ventoline for your asthma Vader : You fool, it's not asthma, it's my air conditioner, how do you think i can bear this mask in the tube? Passenger :...
Heh nice work danny, funny how people around you look as if your not even standing there. Are the buttons on the chest panel lit or is that some photoshop trick? ^^;
Subaruhess, Only the lightsaber was photoshopped a bit. Angelo, Took a pic of Vader with myashtma inhaler but it turned out crap ^^;
Danny!! I found this SWEEEET mod on how to make a lighting Darth Vade Belt!!! I wonder if you will try make it look like that, it's pretty damn sweet. ;D Link: http://www.darthblade.com/belt.htm
haha, dark ruler of space hiding in tokyo subway :-)
you need to get someone to wear the stormtrooper armour with you! that would be sweet!
Ugh, must be a pain to capture those pic's. Nice pic's, as usual danny :D .
Pretty cool that the trains in Tokyo are so spot on. Over here, we don't have timetables for trains but we do have a large LCD display screen at each platform which informs you of when the next train's arriving. (usually within 3 ~ 8 mins) I wonder if cosplaying as Stormtrooper or Vader and going to the train station would get me stopped by train security ^^; SOme force mind-control would be really handy ^^
Oh yes, I bet Hector was having fun trying to keep both yours and the backgrounds exposures correct. @_@ You look good Danny! Although, I see what you mean about the helmet. It looks a little bit large in comparison to your body. You will get to that in time... Did you use a low gloss polish on the boots? Maybe it's just the pictures, but they blend better with the other parts now. ^^; Maybe at some point you can redo the chest and belt control panels so the lights go off and on at intervals. When you get all the mods. finish you will need two or three troopers with you to complete the look. Maybe I will get Storm Trooper armor and join you. ^_- Need to get some of the photos Hector took of you before. Would really make great wallpaper.
in the last picture it seems there is a white saber that is gonna cut your head :P
Interestingly, alot of the passengers on the train seem to be asleep. I wonder whether they are truly zzzzz-ing . While you were walking around in vadar mode, were there many other people trying to take a snapshot of you?
Waiting for Chikan Densha Vader...
Regarding trains and subways here in the Philippines are relatively efficient. However, ever heard of the phrase "packed like sardines"? Well the phrase "packed like corned beef" is more suitable for he number of people in the train during rush hour. Anyway Danny, nice Darth Vader costume.
I always found the london underground confusing, ^^ I wonder if you ever got lost during you old UK days Danny. ^^ Bakagundamzero, Packing yourselves like a can of sadrines is okay, however sometimes being next to a guy who hasn't showered for a few days even with manila's humid weather is bad, but managable. but the worst type of commuters in manila are the ones who stay right in front of the train doors until the last possible second, then while the doors are closing would suddenly make a mad dash squeezing himself against an unsuspecting lady, squishing her into the train. people like that should be tied up and thrown out onto the tracks
the train in here suck! they got rusty floor, rusty door, some people standing in the train ceiling, and slow as hell(a car are 2 times faster from it) and the station filled with bum,thieves,and some/lot gang or some useless, violent ppl i never took a train in my own country, as it's not efficient and risky. only ever took a train in singapore and on japan in 2004
in hk the trains are very clean and ders a first class and economy class to choose from both are very clean because of the very strict rules of eating in de train
You missed an option Danny: *No train/subway at all The only remains of a train line here in Trelew are a (really) rusty steam locomotive outside the old train station (which is now a museum), and 100m of narrow track rails in front of a school. But talking about Buenos Aires subway, it sucks, is dirty, dark, damp. And cars get really packed at certain times. BTW, the cars (in BsAs subway) are japanese, the interior looks much like the one in the pictures, just that dirty and with bad bad maintenance.
The light rail systems in Manila vary greatly between the three lines. The original LRT-1 is hot, old, and last I checked, reeks of urine. The second system, MRT-3, is fast and on time, but is often packed full and is very uncomfortable. Thankfully the air conditioning is cold. The newest line, LRT-2, is spacious, fast and clean. Stations accurately predict when the next train is coming.
First Densha Trooper Now Densha Vader. The dark side conquers the JR lines ^^ I like the photos of you reading the idol book guess vader needs some relaxing moments LOL Was it hot in the suit? Was it easy to take out the helmet like the stormtrooper one?
Nice one again. Darth Vader is even more impressiv than a storm trooper. I hope BlogTV invites you again, but this time with your Vader suit on. Oh and please, if they do, talk to them through your speaker...if it has one. That would be hilarious =D
I'm really diggin that Vader suit now lol, looks great ont he train with the lights. The trains in my city are HORRIBLE. They're ALWAYS late or cancelled when you need them most >.< Plus they're expensive~
Those passengers in the second pic looks like they've been force choked.
Taking the metro in different countries is quite an interesting experience. In Paris (where lived most of my life in), the metro is rather clean now. It is rather silent, especially the suburbs network and the newest lines. Just don't stare at people (^_^;). The design of the sitting places are quite... particular, different from what you can see elsewhere, cars usually differ depending on the line. In N.Y.C., very noisy subway (you do know when it arrives) and quite dark stations, but fine otherwise. In Boston, nice, old looking cars on the outside but reliable. quiet and comfy too. In London, lots of free journals nicely and randomly placed in the cars. Rather quiet and clean too. Very long stairways with random musicians. In H.K., clean cars, quiet and so on. Been a while though. In Singapore, very modern, ultra-clean (Love the ultra-strict laws there -no bubblegum allowed for exemple-. My favorite. In Montreal, nice metro that can be littered with free journals on the floor (what a pity) but really quiet (their cars have tires!) and it has even electronic media on some of the lines! What I like the most in the metro nowadays? Forbidden smoking! That's all I can say I guess.
Please don't mind my syntax errors... "Spent my life in" would be more correct for example but I had so much to talk about... Anyway. It's amusing how the metro/subway/tube can tell us about the culture of each country. ^^
The only proper trains we've got here are three lines, shaped in an H form, which leaves a lot to be desired in terms of getting anywhere. Poor air conditioning; they don't work on an actual timetable (they come and go as they please) and just really bad overall. I wish we have better mass transport :(
Zeroblade, Sounds like a nightmare! D_Blade, You've been around! Hangmen13, Nice one ^^; Akiraman, Its an oven in there ^^; Marvin, Happens here too ^^; Alafista, Many ^^; Kirai, Ouch! John, Thanks for the link.
The closest train station in my area is 10-15 miles away. While they are reliable i wouldn't say they were efficient.

Lord vader, the rail transit system in my sector (part of the world) of the galaxy is not the most reliable nor the mosr efficient. You can get mugged in the station or even on the train. Good thing the Empire arms the Stormtrooper Corps with the E-11s to wrad off thieves and their ilk.
Subway here in nagoya is very muh on time all the time :) I love it. Good change from the shit system in australia
After recently visiting London, the Tube was a lot more efficient than i expected - at least they are frequent! Love watching the driver change at shinagawa/ tokyo station though - whats with that pointing thing they do to the clock when they depart stations? They do it every time! Cant believe they keep their gloves so clean as well - surely there are dirty surfaces somewhere on a train?? Vader looks great - you GOTTA go to Yoyogi park/ Harajuku with it on! I love the bit in the kirainet vid when you use the 'force' in your hand to get through the train gate ^^
Also, i dont know where this pic originally came from, but i love it: http://photos23.flickr.com/27806831_a128ec5553.jpg Hope you can recreate it some day!
Great looking pics, Hector is a great photographer ^-^. When I went to Hong Kong I never knew the schedule of the trains but there was always one that came in about three minutes if I just missed a ride so it wasn't so bad, they even tell you the amount of minutes before the train arrived which was great to know.
Okay, If the vader suit will fit my 184.5 cm frame, I am all for being your dark leader one Sunday afternoon in Akihabara. Feel free to contact me via email
