Painted Star Wars Darth Vader Miniature Model from West End Games

I had a little time this morning and wanted to do a little painting. I saw some minis on my shelf I've had for ages but not got round to painting. I thought a change from GW would be nice, if only for a morning. Well one of them is now painted and he would be the Dark Lord him self, Darth Vader.

@Malivictus Thanks, I was mainly just curious as to where it came from as I couldn't find any trace of it. It's nice to know there are people out there still using these models, because they are really quite nice.

[JudgeGudge]

@linkinhearts666 Thanks, I pretty happy with it. It's the first time I've really tried osl.

[JudgeGudge]

@Phiggins81 Oh yeah she does find some stuff. That reminds me I have a Grey Knight Terminator somewhere she got me for 50p.

@TemplarsCrusade01 Thanks, nice little mini to paint and a nice little break for and hour or so.

[JudgeGudge]

@Catattafish Thanks, it's the first time I've really tried it.

[JudgeGudge]

@1Valinor1 Thanks

[JudgeGudge]

@Harbaugh87 Thanks

[JudgeGudge]

@conn12347 Thanks, yep it now looks like it's from Westend games.

[JudgeGudge]

@Catachan1brainleaf Thanks, I did think that not being able to find any in that pose was odd myself. Like you say it's a classic pose.

[JudgeGudge]

@shepharda74 I did think that myself for a while.

[JudgeGudge]

@Generalsplatton Thanks

[JudgeGudge]

@1996justus Thanks. I used the blue to offset the red from the saber and thought of it as more atmospheric light rather than the colour of the material.

[JudgeGudge]

@Tarragonable Thanks, actually the wife commented on the colour of the sabre and osl. Next time I find a Dath Vader mini I want to paint I'll try and improve that.

[Gerrcinn]

I forgot hyperlinks crash the comment o.O annoying as hell, anyway all that rambling I forgot to say loving the Sith sweet job on the saber and on all that black, nothing like making it tricky for yourself when trying something different keep up the vids mate

[Gerrcinn]

they're discotinued dude there was another run in the mid '00s that also went the way of the dodo :( however I did find a guy try knightmodels . com

who does 30mm and 70mm Star Wars figures, a little pricey compared even to GWs Finecost but as 1 offs for painting they're stunning got the 70 Maul and it is pure Nerdgasm in metal form, I live in the UK and it did take about 4 weeks to arrive but worth checking out I fancy a Obi v Ani from the 70mm next hope that helps bud.

[linkinhearts666]

Sick dude !

Not a bad job on the OSL
