I want to compliment galactiboy for the repaint of my Kenobi. He even re-did it after I demanded some changes. Very well done. I'm glad I didn't go with someone charges much more expensive for same quality.

Man, he looks great! Love seeing him with the ligh up saber

And glad you're pleased with the paint up

 

[Resident Eric]

i might have to repaint the hands to somewhat match the color.

 

[galactiboy]

Actually , get some of the newer Hot a Toys hands (tony Stark Mechanic will work). They look better in terms of sculpt and size, but I paint my heads to match that skin tone. Sideshows stuff is usually very pale.

Looks great. I hope I can track down another old Ben and send it to GB sometime soon

 

[Resident Eric]

I don't think the hand pegs will fit?

 

[galactiboy]

They do... Only issue is the wrist blocks the hands a bit. You can get them to fit, or if you have a dremmel reshape them. But HT hands do fit the Buck body pegs.

I'd be happy to do it

Let's get up to 10 repaints!!!

 

[Dr. Odd]

Thanks! Let me know if you see any reasonably priced old bens, and we can hit that quota!

 

[TheFiend]

Commerce section. Ben can be had for a reasonable price.

Thanks guys

For some reason the picture I posted of the paint up disappeared, so here it is again... and then another after the revisions. Mostly removed the skin tone from the hair (I was initially going for a whispy look) and I realligned the pupils.

God damn, that's epic, GB. I was looking at my Ben the other day and the paint has gone all shiny. Do you think a matte clear coat would help?

 

[galactiboy]

That should... there is something odd about the sealant or paint Sideshow used on this figure. The first time I painted him he became tacky soon afterward... I've found it's a good idea to soak the head in rubbing alcohol before painting which seems to prevent it in most cases.

But going over it with a matte coat should work. I really like the Model Masters flat clear acryl... it's not 100% matte, but just the right enough of shine so the skin looks alive.

I really really need an Old Ben. Great work GB!

 

[Resident Eric]

You can mix gloss and matte clear too to control the shine.

 

[galactiboy]

Do it MandoMan And thanks

Sweet I'll try extra hard not to **** it up

I bought the body and hands you suggested, so I'll get those to you as soon as I receive them.
