MMM 200mm Obi Wan Nairobi ( Chris Craighead )

[Steve Brodie]

Started on this at the weekend, funnily enough a new mini drill kit i had ordered from amazon also arrived so put it into use, it does create rather a lot of resin dust, so a mask is required when cuting and sanding bit, however it's pretty amazing at doing what it does and for such a great price and its cordless (£22.99) you can get one from here -

I have already done a review of the kit over here


Upper and lower torso joined and gap filled with some milliput. Sanded smooth. small resin gates ahve now also been removed;

 

[Steve Brodie]

Boots attached and pegged to a block of wood for painting, not sure about the position of his right foot though, may need to break it off somehow and re attach ( at the end);



Head is just dry fitted, after removing the pour stub under neath his head.

 

[Neil Merryweather]

That's another big lump of resin you've taken on there, Steve! Looking good.

 

[Steve Brodie]

Right Boot has been reattached into a better position -




Main Bits tacked on;





when i took the photo I spotted this minor seam line on his hand, nothing to worry about;

 

[Steve Brodie]

Got all the flesh areas, face and hands, blocked in with base tone. Painted in the eyes, need a bit of work on the right eye, but please overall with the outcome. next to bring life to the face.

 

[Steve Brodie]

Highlights added and hair painted, balaclava blocked in. Shadows and glazes next.

 

[Tim Marlow]

Nice progress....

 

[Steve Brodie]

Highlights, shadows and glazes added, matt varnish applied;













Not much flesh to play with to get all the normal tones added.

 

[Tim Marlow]

Coming alive isn’t he. Really nice flesh work Steve.

 

[Steve Brodie]

Balaclava done, so head finished;

 

[Steve Brodie]

All the main colours blocked in, redone the balaclava , was to grey and not as brown as it should be. Sometimes the web can be a curse for reference images. different cameras give off slightly different hues, colours. Matching the rifle has been a nightmare and still not totally convinced on the colour, however it may come out okay once weathered a bit and had a matt varnish on it.

 

[Steve Brodie]

Cheers chaps, arms are not glued on, just blutack.

Yep rifle totally wrong colour. So;
Balaclava repainted as more a brown colour and not grey, hair has had a dark brown wash added to tone it down a bit. Shirt has had highlights added and rifle repainted in light green with tan camouflage added, ordered a brown unipin pen to draw on the waffle pattern.

Suits you sir !, one pair of Armani jeans (logo custom created)

[Steve Brodie]

Needed to start on the Camouflage, so tried it out on the rucksack / backpack first, happy with the results, shadows added by inks and highlighted with pigments.

 

[Steve Brodie]

Camouflage painted onto the front vest and ballistic plate, side straps also painted, so will be able to glue the arms in place , once i get the pens for the waffle stripes on the rifle, oh and painted in the time on his Garmin watch. Shirt has had subtle shadows added;

 

[Steve Brodie]

Front ammunition pouches done. The velcro areas just visible under the flaps was created with some Mr surfaces, stipple on with an old brush.

 

[Steve Brodie]

Havent had chance to get any painting done recently, but have now finished off his trainers, custom colours mixed to try and match the photos;

 

[Neil Merryweather]

looking good Steve

 

[Steve Brodie]

Apparently the shoes are totally the wrong colour, they should be grey not brown - :mad:, so a repaint it is;

Stunning work, despite the site colour issue.
