Title: How to paint Obi Kenobi EP-IV
Post by: hemble on May 29, 2016, 06:23:07 PM
Hi All

A member over at the Bandai Star Wars FB page asked how would paint up a 1/12 Old Ben Kenobi head so here is how I did it.

I got the head from Greg Glassman and here is he's FB page
https://www.facebook.com/greg.glassmancustoms/photos_albums

I first cleaned the head by just putting it some warm water and then give it a quick wash with washing detergent.

Pic 1 - I pianted the head using Reaper paints Tanned Skin.
 Pic 2 - Then painted it using Vallejo Flat Flesh
 Pic 3 - Then I gave it a medium wash using Burnt Sienna
 Pic 4 - I then very lightly dry brushed it with Caucasian Flesh
 Pic 5 - I then mixed some White and Red to get a Medium Pink colour and painted the eye.
 Pic 6 - Then I mixed some White and Tanned Flesh to get a Medium Wite and painted over the eye again.
 Pic 7 - I then painted in Black circles.
 Pic 8 - I then pained in a Medium Blue and made sure to leave a thin black edge.
 Pic 9 - Then I painted over the Medium Blue with a Lighter Blue.
 Pic 10 - I then painted the iris's in using Black.
 Pic 11 - I then painted the hair, brows and beard using Vallejo's Medium Grey.
 Pic 12 - Then I dry Brushed over the grey using Vallejo's White.
 Pic 13 - Then I lightly gave the hair and Beard a very light wash of Vallejo's White and I then darkened the brows using Vallejo's Black and Dark Brown. I also gave the lips a darker look using a mix of Reapers Tanned Flesh and Vallejo's Flat Flesh.
 Pic 14-17 - Are the final pics of how he turned out before I put him on it's body and do the outfit.

Looks great! I'd also be interested in your approach to eyes in 3.75" scale.
