Obi-Wan here is the second model out of the You Cannot Run duel pack, along with Darth Vader.
The pack is silly priced, but I found it at a great discount to make it more reasonable. I intend to make the diorama part sometime, though unfortunately it doesn’t look like it’d work too well as terrain for the table.
This Darth Vader comes with Obi-Wan and some diorama in a duel pack at a questionably high price. But I was able to score it at a major discount, so got some friends for the other Jedi Hunters.
The major challenge for Darth Vader is that he’s wearing all black, so how do you make him look good? My attempt at an answer was to use no blacks, just grays and dark blues. I was also sure to highlight the different textures differently (the shiny armor pieces to a white, the fabric to a blue. And then some fake-OSL drybrushing to help sell the lightsaber.
I also kept the head and cloak separate from the body while painting. That let me get in behind the skirt and the underside of the cloak.
Time for some non-Separatist bad guys!
I’ve tried to get a couple of different black textures: the shiny hard armor pieces, the softer fabric pants, the dark leather boots. It helps give some variety on what is otherwise a mostly monochromatic model.
These double-sided lightsabers seem like they’d be a hazard.
Oh yeah, definitely a hazard.
Enough of these armored warrior types. It’s time for some dresses
The facepaint on Amidala intimidated me, though I think it turned out reasonably.
Sabé’s a tricky one, with her blaster at the ready.
The blending on the handmaidens also gave me pause. I used my technique of blending GW Contrast paints.
