Luke Skywalker - DX07 - THRONE ROOM

[One-Figure-Collector]

Just started with the box decorations (casted from original Sideshow 1/6 scale imperial throne):



Raw material:



Maybe, I will have to use a polishing machine ... What can I do to smoothen the laquer???

 

[Spudtrooper]

A fine grade steel wool should do the trick.

Started the wig sculpting for Luke Skywalker 1/6 scale Hot Toys DX07 throne room custom:

Screen cap:



First attempt (Fimo soft):





Second (Super Sculpey):





Third (Super Sculpey):













Does anyone have a hint for the paint application (never ever done this before, I want to reflect all nuances of the brown colour)??? I think HT have done a good job regarding the painting ...

One option for paint:

1st choose your colors (3 or 4 different shades).

Step 1:
Start with the second lightest and paint everything.

Step 2: (optional)
Then use the next shade darker diluted into a wash and coat the whole thing again, wiping off any access.

Step 3:
Then use the darkest shade diluted into a wash and coat the whole thing again, wiping off any access.

Step 4:
Then use the lightest shade and drybrush on the hightlights.

I'm confused. Are you building a chair as well?

Patience you must have ... You must unlearn what you have learned ...

 

[Natedog]

So I should rephrase that to...

"I'm confused are you building ME a chair as well?"

"I'm confused are you building ME a chair as well?"

"This is no chair."

And soon it will be revealed ...

Luke Jedi Knight custom and his box:

 

[One-Figure-Collector]

Mission completed, Luke DX07 Jedi Knight custom 1/6 scale finished.

I was not really satisfied with the wig and replaced it with an alternative version (I had bought the re-worked Medicom version, but it was too bulky for my taste):








Final pics of the box and its contents:












thanks for comments!

 

[Dr. Odd]

Looks much better!

Looks much better!

Many thanks, man! It´s quite hard to learn sculpting and how the figures turn out after the paint job. Anyway, it was my first attempt, and I hope it will get better and better ...

great work, as always!

The new wig was a great improvement.

What did you use for the cuffs?
Also, what did you use for the suit "corner", the one which is inside out? I can see it is not the "default".

Thanks! keep up the good work.

Many thanks, man! This is highly appreciated ... I think People don´t like this figure as much as my other customs (at least I receive much less comments on it than for the others). Anyway, I really like this Luke version myself (except for the box, I should have used different colour for the inlay).

Coming to your questions, I used a thin metal plate with rubber foam inside for the handcuffs. I painted it with grey acrylic colour and scratched the surface afterwards with a sharp knife to make the metal shine through at certain spots making it look worn out a little bit.

For the shirt, I attached the corner with a few stiches (at first I wanted to attach it loosely using a magnet which failed to work out completely) and glued a painted PVC plate on it. Hope that helps ...

I always underestimate the precision of your work... you are a patient and talented one!!

I am not
