Like I said, "busy beaver!" All he needs is a cathode saber. Coming soon!

"General Kenobi. You are a bold one!"

Great paint apps Nate. The weathering & wear look sweet.

Fives and General Kenobi came out great Nate. General Kenobi is one I'll have to do, don't think SS or HT will, and luckily SS has taken care of Fives for me because mine wouldn't be near as good as yours.

Two questions on Kenobi. I'm working on my own at the moment. Did you use a decal on the shoulder? And what did you use as the white collar under the armor? He looks awesome.

Thanks for the compliments guys!

Yes, I used a decal for the Jedi symbol. The collar is made of milliput. Its far from perfect. You also need to modify the shoulder armor quite a bit to make it work. The detailing on the back that was omitted is just some styrene sheet (0.4mm I think) cut and glued in place.

No I didn't cast them. My casting skills suck, nor do I have any of the materials/tools required. The pouches are fairly simple. Not as much detail as the SSC ones. Grab some milliput and styrene and give it a go. Thats all these are.

Makes me wish I knew how to make decals. Other than that my Kenobi is almost done.

Your local hobby store should sell DIY decal sheets. They come in clear and white. Only buy the white if there is actually white in the design. Microscale Industries is the brand I use. They come with instructions which are very easy.

Not much to this one, but I made myself a proper Waxer. I got all the Waxer parts from TA with the exception of the lower arm and feet. I had to use Gree arms and repainted them. The feet I already had, I just repainted to match.

First step was to match the white paint and sprayed over all the stupid dash marks and the chin. Then matched the yellow and fixed the chin marking. Then I added new decals for Numa and the kill tallies--or are they battle tallies.

I put so many coat of testors dullcoat on the shoulder it went shiny. I'll have to dull it down somehow.

lol. Thanks man, but I'd hate to work at SS. You know what they say about hobbies turning into work... The employee discount would be nice though.
