Episode I Obi-Wan Kenobi head interest thread

[unsung hero]

As I said in the other thread https://sideshowcollectors.com/forums/showthread.php?t=92923 since there was some interest in a new run of these, I'd redo the mold. Well, mold started. It'll be finished in the morning, and I've got resin for this head being delivered on Tuesday. It'll be cast in a softer resin to mimic the feel of a sideshow or hot toys head. So, if interested sign up here. No money being taken until these are ready to be shipped out. Haven't decided on a firm price, but it will be much cheaper than the Maul run as they will be much easier to cast. Will come with either a plastic or real pony tail depending on your choice, and a real hair ponytail.

Reply to this thread and I'll add you to the list.

It's a nice head- I can vouch for that as I have one of the earlier run

Thanks man!


Anyway, mold is done and I'm testing the new material on my Qui-Gon mold.

​

Came out great, but am still working on the amount of flesh tint to add.

 

[unsung hero]

Ok, ruined the first mold, second mold done.

Anyway, here is the new head. Added some slight texture to the skin before pouring this mold. Painted pics tonight, but here is the first in the dense rubber like material.

Outstanding, cant wait to see it with some paint, was the rubber harder or the same to work with?

A little harder. I found if you get the mixture wrong, don't expect it to set up properly, or ever. That's how the first mold got ruined.

Unsung,

Are you using Smooth-on products for the softer casts?

 

[unsung hero]

No, it's Alumilite.

 

[unsung hero]

new painted pic added.

 

[katkuru]

Awesome work!

 

[speedyweasel]

Very Nice, cant wait to pop that one on my obi

 

[unsung hero]

I'm going to re-do the pic....it was a little dark outside. It's showing up much darker than it is. But thanks!


edit: new pic...again.
