wow... that is some fantastic painting!

Thanks. It was painted by LordRagnar; he does an amazing job!

 

[TheFiend]

These look great.

Your Vader is kick ***.

 

[bmarz1000]

Thanks Fiend. I'm stoked with the way he turned out. Big "thanks" to Flosi for the intital "how-to" info.

 

[COMPACT]

This Han Solo is the Sideshow Version?

Brilliant Vader & Ben bmarz1000!!!

Very authentic - that's the stuff mate.

This Han Solo is the Sideshow Version?

Uh, do you mean Ben Kenobi? If so, then yes, it's from Sideshow.

 

[Weezer]

Vader looks good too. What version is he?

Thanks! He's the Sideshow ANH Vader with a Hasbro helmet, custom robes and height adjustment.

 

[TheFiend]

Thanks Fiend. I'm stoked with the way he turned out. Big "thanks" to Flosi for the intital "how-to" info.

I gotta get around to making new robes and a cape for my Vader. Love the way your looks. Looking forward to the new Vader coming out so I can possibly upgrade some parts.

Who painted your Old Ben?

 

[bmarz1000]

LordRagnar paints all my figures. He's on the forum.

Vader parts are going to go quickly (especially the light up chest box and belt).

Does anybody want a SS old ben? just found one in a closet that I forgot about and have no use for, om if interested

 

[HeubertMichael]

Great photo, Fiend. This figure is really among SS's finest, considering that it was released a long, long time ago (no pun).

And if it weren't for this thread getting bumped I wouldn't find out that the great Adam Hughes has a SideshowFreaks account! I knew right away that Atom Hues must be him.

Whats the going price on this? I can get one for $136 shipped, is that good?

Just received my custom-painted portrait from LordRagnar. Put him on a TrueType copy. Here he is in all his glory.

How much does it cost to get this kind of paint job?

It all depends on who you go with. I don't know what LordRagnar charges but from experience with different artists they average from $70- $150, that's the low end to mid-range I would say. I think some artists charge more, the big names on the board.

I paid $75 for mine. Pics don't do it justice in the least.

 

[nathan.never]

Wow, that looks fantastic! What's the name of the artist?

 

[TheFiend]

Skiman. Unfortunately he isn't taking painting commissions at the moment, he got burned out and wants to sculpt. But there are plenty of painters here on the board. Im sure you won't have a hard time finding one. Just go over to the Customs sub-forums and take a look around you're bound to find someone taking commissions. I think Galactiboy is and he's painted a couple awesome Obis.

Thank you SO much; he's my pride and joy.
