Reproduction Silk Screen Black Widow side art, as most of you know im a Vector Guy. I now own all of the Atari Vectors.. My favorite Atari Vector is Lunar Lander, My second favorite is Black Widow.. I have been searching the planet for Black Widow parts and Machines for years.. I now have a very nice factory Widow. The sideart was removed when someone converted to Gravitar.. I know there are others in the same boat..

So I purchased this NOS set of Black Widow sideart from a Klover in Canada for $300.. There were 2 reasons for this purchase.

#1 I needed Sideart to make my Black Widow mint.

#2 Was to share my NOS find, and have it reproduced it so others can restore there machines. The sideart colors were preserved under the premask for 30 years.. It took me over 10 hours to remove the stuck premask from one side of this art, and it beautiful!!

Pretty complex project, there are 5 main colors in Black Widow sideart and 3 build colors..

Anyway there will be many more details to come on this project.. that I will post in a presale thread..

The status of project right now is.. I have already contracted and paid the Screener to run these, and they have the NOS art in there possession..

Im working out some small details now, shipping tubes and shipping costs.. Should have final pricing in a few days...


Look for a Pre Sale thread very soon in the for sale section.. The Presale wont last long, since the project is already underway:)

Sign me up Dan! Awesome that you are taking this on, like your other projects i am sure this will be perfect.
 
Nice - I know a lot of people were waiting for someone to do this. My side art isn't bad, but I just may have to upgrade :D
 
Awesome! Was wondering what you where upto! LOL
Now i just need to get a black Widow ;)
 
you know Scott is/was Sending the orginal films to Darrin if he hadnt allready :confused:

This has been a dead horse since 2006. It has been discussed by different people a few times, but never happened.. Many have talked about doing it..I thought about using original films but with this project I wanted the colors to be correct.. example your quantum thread the troubles you quoted with color matching the built colors.. Believe me it was more expensive to run this way..

True and I dont think I was doing the printing on this one either
pretty sure Darrin was going to get one of his other printers to handle it.
and certainly not trying to derail this at all.
But thought you might just want to check in with Darrin so efforts wernt being doubled.
as I dont alwys know his production scedule.
