How to paint Obi Kenobi EP-IV
« 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.

Ron

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

Hi All,

Firstly, sorry guys for not replying sooner I didn't even see a email for your replies.

Talk about a great guide to painting heads. Thanks Ron.

Cheers Shawn.

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

Thanks mate, and if you like to send me an email to hemble@hotmail.com to remind me I will get a tutorial up for painting a head in 3-3/4" scale.

Ron
