    1977 MPC Darth Vader model WIP

    So, I was getting ready to start this model, and the sculpt is really not too accurate. It reminded me of Marvel's depictions of Darth Vader in the 70's comics, so I decided to try something different and paint him up in comic book colors. So far I am loving the look!

            I'm not enough of a SW fan to know how off-model the kit is--I had the C3PO one as a kid--but I love this idea!

                      Very cool idea.
                      You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

                        Love this!! Very accurate coloring, almost looked like the comic art rather than an actual model

                              I wasn't happy with the eyes so I redid them...they looked to googly before. I wanted more of a reflection along the sides.
