LEGO Darth Loses His Head

6"x4" oil on raymar panel. • If you remember, in one of my past ramblings I mentioned that poor ol' Darth Vader was blasted to bits across our domestic universe. Our first desperate searches turned up only three helmets. Basically, Darth had been repeatedly decapitated by the Rebel Trooper we lovingly call Spawn Number Two (The Spare). Further searches found two lonely bodies. Spawn Number One (The Heir) then proceeded to tell me, at great length, about the difference between the two torsos; one being older with different markings and actually having a different head, etc., etc.  Of course, being the attentive, deeply caring father that I am, all I heard was, "Blah, blah, blah." Resulting in me snapping, "Just give it here, I want to paint." Since Darth went for so long without his head, I thought the above pose quite apropos. Poor Darth..
