Back to Black.
Back to Black. (Vintage Darth Vader, Vintage Darth Vader's Tie Fighter with Custom Paint)
A couple of years ago I found myself on a roll scoring interesting finds from local sellers looking to unload vintage Star Wars toys from their storage. As is always the case in these situations you get some gems and you get stuff that’s seen better days (hey, nothing that’s vintage and Star Wars is junk, right?).
After a few of these encounters I found myself with four Darth Vader’s Tie Fighters from 1978. Three were in overall straight condition and one was just barely limping by, begging for either a noble burial or the breath of new life. Well after a good cleaning the path was clear: I would take the sucker apart and hit it inside and out with some matte black spray enamel.
The results are at least partially seen in the photo above.
SEX.
Jonesy my photos have been called a lot of things but that’s a first. I think I’d have to agree!
I’m not so much into Star Wars but this shot is awesome and you are very talented. Love any action figure that is shot well. I don’t have that talent with cameras.:)
Thanks for the good words!
Wow! That ship looks incredible!
Do you remember what brand of Spray Enamel you used? And did you use any kind of sealer or dullcote?
