I was lucky enough to watch Lord Vader test drive his personal TIE Fighter after some updates were done in the Empire's testing facilities in Scarif. It was an overscast day but was good enough to document the testing to be reviewed by Lord Vader later, at his request.

Lord Vader was overall pleased although he forced choked a mechanic for not returning the seat's positions to where Lord Vader had them...ohh well. Now I have the rest of the day to go to the beach!

Hope you like these! I had fun!

Hey Oscar , congrats on another beautifully finished build and photo shoot , really like the included descriptions too :cool.
I realise that your preferred method for painting these SW Bandai kits is minimal and straight onto the bare plastic , but I’m wondering how you created the pre - shaded effect that’s seen between the cockpit panels ?

After spraying the matte clear coat I use weathering powders to get that effect. Then I clear coat again. Thanks for looking!
