ROTS Vader 1/1

#1 Post by Ruprekt »

Not a kit, but a resin print (hope it’s cool to post this here) I printed and am almost done with. Just finished wet sanding (600-1000-2000) and buffing him. The colors aren’t screen accurate, but I like the gun metal neck like the other movies had.

The lenses on this version are just two curved pieces of smoked plastic. Other versions have slightly domed lenses and have to be vacu formed.
