MMM 200mm Obi Wan Nairobi ( Chris Craighead )


Recommended Posts

Started on this at the weekend, funnily enough a new mini drill kit i had ordered from amazon also arrived so put it into use, it does create rather a lot of resin dust, so a mask is required when cuting and sanding bit, however it's pretty amazing at doing what it does and for such a great price and its cordless (£22.99) you can get one from here - https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B08B61KR15/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

 

I have already done a review of the kit over here - https://www.planetfigure.com/threads/mmm-200mm-scale-sas-nairobi-dusitd2-terrorist-attack.312055/


Upper and lower torso joined and gap filled with some milliput. Sanded smooth. small resin gates ahve now also been removed;

Boots attached and pegged to a block of wood for painting, not sure about the position of his right foot though, may need to break it off somehow and re attach ( at the end);

All the main colours blocked in, redone the balaclava , was to grey and not as brown as it should be. Sometimes the web can be a curse for reference images. different cameras give off slightly different hues, colours. Matching the rifle has been a nightmare and still not totally convinced on the colour, however it may come out okay once weathered a bit and had a matt varnish on it.

Camouflage painted onto the front vest and ballistic plate, side straps also painted, so will be able to glue the arms in place , once i get the pens for the waffle stripes on the rifle, oh and painted in the time on his Garmin watch. SHirt has had subtle shadows added;

After some debate on a couple of SAS facebook pages, it seems i had totally the wrong colour for his footwear, so following ref images they have been redone as a pair of La Sportiva, and thats how they are staying

Base needs edging and a plinth ordering to take it, along with a SAS Badge and a Gallantry Medal. Last post for a while as off on Holiday for a week on Saturday, down to gorgeous Carbis Bay.
