ROTS Obi wan custom headsculpt

[Mollins]

the primer helps paint stick onto the sculpt.

i forgot to do it with my liam neeson sculpt, and it kept shipping off until I primed it.

 

[drod26]

I should do that.. my paint keeps coming of if rubbed to hard.
Will sealing it prevent it from coming off?

 

[Mollins]

It should do, but not to really heavy handling.

For sealing ,I'd suggest using a gloss varnish with a matt over the top

Anyone know how much he is asking for one of these sculp's $$$

 

[RICEaRONI]

this was a limited run. in fact im almost sure he doesnt have any more. paul had this sculpt made for himself and when he posted it we hounded him so badly he decided to do a small run for us =)

 

[Platty]

I think he has a few left?

 

[JIMT1677]

Thanks away guys.....I may pick up another Ep2 Kenobi and try giving it a haircut. I did it a few years back with the Hasbro Ep2. I dremeled out the "mullet" area and filled it with putty and re-sculped the Ep3 haircut.

Did you contact Paul? He just had a few more cast made a week or so ago, he posted in this thread when he did it.

 

[JIMT1677]

I did contact Paul , but he has not responded. I'm guessing he's very busy or out of town etc. I know better than anyone how busy daily life can be. There's no immediate rush it's just that head sculp is awesome!

paul...could you PM me about your obi wan HS custom...i want it one..thx

 

[RICEaRONI]

Here is my new paint up on the OBI sculpt. i think it looks better in hand but a no talent hack like myself cant measure up to the greats of this board like les or DA anyways. here we go

 

[Platty]

That's a combination of an absolutely awesome sculpt and absolutely awesome re-paint! Fantastic!

It's so good, I might have been persuaded to buy a head off you Paul!

 

[drod26]

that looks good RiceoRoni... What paint mix did you use for the face?

 

[paulcarson]

thanks for the kind words this headsculpt was my first paint job ever.

as for the paint on the face, i used multiple washes and multiple layers of drybrushing. i dont think my pictures do it justice, in had there is a much better blend of colors in the face.

thanks again, maybe i wont quit cause i think i suck so bad

 

[paulcarson]

You certainly don't suck, you've done a fine job! I certainly wouldn't quit ! You're way ahead of me though , I'm not much of a painter, I'll admit to that . I don't have a painted version of this head in my possession yet !

If you've enjoyed painting this ( which I think you have ) then we've both accomplished what we both set out to do which was to have some fun with this.
