i'm always amazed how cool & professional the cardbacks turn out when they are done correctly, as you have done here aeseven. the paint apps, sculpting and the way you assembled all the parts into 1 cohesive design is really breathtaking. i'm not familiar with this character, but i can certainly appreciate all the work and skill you put into this.

Thanks Phruby & BrentS - this was a fun figure to do for a change 
Chewie, so glad you like it too, you set the standard with the original Rykrof, i was only trying to make this one a vintage companion 

p.s. Chewie you have PM 

great work as usual Glassman! that's a really flawless blending on the helmet. if i ever decide to do any Mando's i know who to PM 

Nice work Brent! My fave is the Sith Guard...the staff is amazing! He's a little scary with the helmet off, but he should be a bada$$

Hamma is a nice mixture of parts. i like the paint job on the robes and the "hairdo" is a nice touch too.

Rey Shaa looks good, the only thing about the weathering is, it looks a little pink to me on the robes (could be the lighting) but you are colorblind aren't you? the eye looks ok to me, the hands just would look better being painted the same color as the head is the only "gripe" i have about it.

nice work & i like the anime chicks you did too...sorry i missed commenting more, been really busy here.

keep up the great work!

In Rem - I wish i could paint the hands, but they are like this "bendy" material & i don't think the paint would stick to it unfortunately. 

Glassman - Thanks a bunch, I always appreciate your comments! The lava "burns" are just paint b/c I am afraid the material on the robes may be too "thin" to burn and get an accurate look.

Darth Ennis - Thanks for the sincere comments, it's greatly appreciated, that's the main reason I post just about all my customs here and not in other places.

I did however post this on another forum with a P.S. at the bottom that Obi-Wan would not be for sale on Ebay....it gets on my nerves how some folks "advertise" their 12" stuff before it's listed.   

 

So...here's another new update 

i have been working on this for quite awhile off & on, but i think i am finally at a point where i can stop now & be done with him.

i wanted to do a ROTS Obi-Wan 1/6th scale, but from the Mustafar duel with Anakin, b/c I do have a 1/6th Mustafar Anakin planned. This is going to be my very own 'Order of the Jedi' 1/6th line.

The Obi-Wan body is a Hot Toys Polar Mountain Striker. The body is super posable like a Dragon body. One of the major gripes I have with Hot Toys bodies is the flesh of the hands don't match the face or body worth a damn. Other than that, they are just as nice or nicer than Dragon bodies. I love the head sculpt, its a perfect Ewan McGregor look-alike. The hair was originally a loud blonde, and I repainted to look more like the movie, with only small touches of grey. I also repainted the head to be a more accurate flesh tone. The clothes were from the AOTC Hasbro Obi-Wan but were dyed and then weathered with fabric paint to recreate the lava burns on his robes and pants. The belt is part Hasbro on top of a real leather base with the food pellets painted accurately. The boots were also Hasbro AOTC Obi-Wan but heavily modified by my husband so they would be movie accurate. i wanted to use leather on them, but they would have been too bulky & silly looking. The Lightsaber in the photo close-up above was from the Obi-Wan ANH but again heavily modified to be slimmer in the hand and the gold & copper part is metal, along with the belt clip. The blade doesn't light up and that's cool with me for now.

i'm including a screenshot that i was going by at the top, it was the best lighted view of Obi-Wan's robes, b/c on Mustafar everything was red & very hard to make out the extent of the weathering.

the pictures aren't the greatest...i'm still trying to work out lighting and stuff, but it gives you some idea of the work my husband & i did on it. as always enjoy & comments are always welcome

i don't get it smarty? 

Ennis, i really dig your Rykrof a lot, the brushed look on the armor and soft goods cape are very nice touches. very cool looking with the removable helmet.

i'm the process of painting my Rykrof as we speak...its a pimp daddy tribute  

i should be finished in a couple of days & i'll actually be on time! w00t!
