Luke on a body. I plan on putting him on a TT slim. Obi-Wan is not on his body yet, I am distressing his clothes.

12" Han ANH Repaint
Been a little bit since I have had some time to do anything. Still working on my painting. I recently got a Sideshow Han ANH that was put on a Hot Toys narrow body with nice leather boots. I figured I'd hit him up with some paint too.

Great job on Han. I love the new boots. I have never been a fan of the molded Sideshow boots.

Thanks everyone!
And, Cbob, I agree, the TT's are awesome. I want a slim for Jedi Luke now.

Re: 12" Figure Repaints
Yeah TT's are definitely awesome, just wish they weren't so dang expensive!
the new ones are $45, and the old ones sometimes go for $70 on eBay! Can you guys believe that?

Re: 12" Figure Repaints
Yeah, there is definitely no blue in there! I do have new bulbs in my lights that I use for photos, and they are brighter than what I used to have, I've been struggling to get proper lighting. I get a strong glare now. I don't gloss coat the entire head, but it is sealed with a matte varnish. I do gloss the mouth and eyes though.
And, I painted up the Stormtrooper Luke head that Dorgs was kind enough to hook me up with. I am not happy with the hair color or eyes, so I'm going to go back and hit them again. I've had problems getting blue eyes to look right, so this is some nice practice. I don't have a ANH Luke yet, but have one on a TT Slim coming to me.
Eyes are really bugging me on that one. But hey, got to post the bad with the good, right?

Re: 12" Figure Repaints
Ow its really important to show mistakes to I think. I feel thats how we all learn.
Luke looks grand..
as for pics your FinePix S5700 is a great camera but they dont like certain bulbs and you have to set the white balance and stuff. Have you taken any shots outside... natural light is so great.
The hair is also a real pain.. I look at mine (Lukes not my hair as I have outgrown mine and it seems to have fallen on to my chin)
And the one I painted looks Ginger!!!!!

Re: 12" Figure Repaints
I may take a few outside once these storms pass over tomorrow or Friday and try that. I have been adjusting the F-stop and shutter speed to get it working better, but those lights just blast everything. The ones before had polarized filters on the ends, and I can't find them locally.

It's actually matte, not shiny at all. (except the eyes and lips)

Re: 12" Figure Repaints
Unsung, I think that paintjob looks great as is! The hair and eyes look fine IMO.
If it were me, I'd be scared of messing up something that looked so good by trying to redo it!
Nice job once again, you are definitely one of the head honchos of head painting in my book.

I think your Luke looks looks great.
That is by far the best Luke sculpt to date. It's unfortunate you have to buy a $300.00 set to get it...unless you know the right resin pusher that is

Re: 12" Figure Repaints
Are you using any sort of Dullcote-type product after you are done painting?
It could just be the camera flash that makes it appear glossy.
