Star Wars: Command project pt. 2 - Jedi

So I picked the Jedi that comes with the Episode IV 'Desert Escape' playset for my first model to paint up. I think on some level he's supposed to be Ben Kenobi, only he lacks a beard and world weary look, and also appears in some of the Episode II sets for Genosha and such.

No matter.

For now, I've started with Vallejo's Chocolate Brown for his boots and bathrobe, Iraqi Sand for his pants, flat flesh for his skin, and Earth Brown for his inner robes -- all followed by a heavy wash of GW's Agrathax.

Obviously nothing done yet on his lightsaber -- which tends to bend a bit (*the only model from the casts I have that does this).  And I don't know how to paint it up to glow when there are no hard edges to speak of.

Still ... not bad for a guy from a $10 set.

More to follow.


It's not a bathrobe ... it's a Jedi bathrobe!
