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.

 

[JasonB]

Could just be the angle of the pic, but it looks like the right foot might need to be rotated outward a little, more in line with the knee. It looks to be pretty much straight ahead, but the knee is out to the right. Looks a little painful!

 

[Steve Brodie]

That's what I was thinking, did line it up with the base of his jeans, but it does look awkward, out with the saw later!

Agree with Jasons comments .......Sort that now Steve ...save mucking around with painted resin ...you know you want to !

Following with interest

Thanks, the black areas were; on the chest milliput and the smaller gaps, vallejo putty. Then just painted black to check for any missed areas

 

[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.

 

[Henk]

Good start Steve. I like the positioning of his irises, it shows an intens stare, with a slight squint, against the sun. Looking forward to the skin tones developing.

 

[Steve Brodie]

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

 

[Peter Day]

Looking good Mr B.

 

[Nap]

Hi Steve

This is certainly coming along nicely , the eyes do look sinister and concentrated

Thanks for updates

Look forward to more

Happy benchtime

[Steve Brodie]

cheers chaps

 

[Steve Brodie]

Highlights, shadows and glazes added, matt varnish applied;













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

 

[Steve Brodie]

Balaclava done, so head finished;

 

[Nordman]

Looks really good

 

[Henk]

Very nice. I like the hair, looks really good.

 

[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.
