Madmonk Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Just finished this 1/6 scale Darth Vader figure, kit is a Far Eastern re-mould I picked up off ebay with a couple of other SW figure kits. Moulding isn't fantastic but with a bit of cutting, carving and several hot water baths it wasn't too bad. The kits lightsabre was a cast resin lump so I used some plastic tube instead. Painted using various manufacturers blacks including Vallejo Air, Vallejo Colour and Xtracrylic. Then finished off with various varnishes. All comments welcome. Thanks for looking. Cheers, Warren 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madmonk Posted April 22, 2013 Author Share Posted April 22, 2013 (edited) Thanks guys, he will most likely be coming to Smallspace with me in July. Next up will probably be a 1/4 scale Stormtrooper. Slightly easier paint job! Cheers, Warren Edited April 22, 2013 by Madmonk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S5 modeller Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Well done with him. Thought about getting this kit as well, but was worried that as it was a re cast kit it might be horribly deformed. I think your fantastic effort might have just tipped the scales in favour of me getting one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S5 modeller Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Just out of interest, where did you get the kit from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmonk Posted May 19, 2013 Author Share Posted May 19, 2013 (edited) Hi S5, It is a recast kit but the quality is good, the only issue with it was the resin light sabre which was just pants! I replaced it with some plastic tube. The kit came from eBay. seller:animehgk_com Cheers, Warren Edited May 19, 2013 by Madmonk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
