Mythos style custom Obi Wan - Pics Fixed!

tmax · Dec 3, 2015

Hi guys, not sure if it's the done thing to show off custom 1/6 figures here, so feel free to move if not appropriate.

Always been a fan of the Mythos Obi Wan statue, but pretty out there price wise, so got inspired to make my own.

The goal...

Picked up a sideshow Windu and Jinn figures pretty cheap. Using the Jinn suit and the Windu pants, boots and cloak. Got a few dragon WWII bits and pieces to throw in the mix and a $20 modern day 12" sniper figure from the Warehouse (NZ's version of Walmart)...

First soaked the suit in tea and frayed the edges...

The cloak was fun, I really didn't like the dry, fluffy look so I covered it in hair gel...

I liked the wet look but when the gel dried it went back to fluffy. So I took to it with hair wax, a rather time consuming task. The final look was epic! Makes it look more like leather than cloth...

The bonus was when I hung it up to dry it held its shape because of all the gel...

I was stoked about this but of course it wasn't the shape I wanted, so I re-wet it and re-shaped it...

Onto the weapons. Took to the sniper rifle with a dremel to get the shape. Added a WWII scope and painted it...

For the Tusken spears I used aircraft missiles and wheels...

Rope and grappling hook...

The water making machine is kitbashed from the 3" moisture farmer figure accessories...

More to come...

Mythos style custom Obi Wan (pic heavy)

The armor was dremeled from a cheap Vader 12" toy, again from the Warehouse...

While all this is going on I had a collector friend make me up a backpack. He does AMAZING customs himself and was the one who inspired me to do this build.

The Sideshow body was pretty terrible and I couldn't angle the left elbow enough for him to grab his pack strap. So I used the body from the cheap sniper figure which incredibly was way better with much more articulation!

Obi head off Ebay, a dam good sculpt. Gave the hair a dark wash...

The base is drain pipe end caps glued together, painted and then covered in car filler, which was then coated in PVA glue and then sand from my local beach was added. Came out a bit dark so I lightened the sand with a wash...

Unfortunately this stand didn't work too well as it was too small. Easy fix, make a bigger one...

Boots had wraps added then weathered...

Goggles are actually from the Hot Toys Falcon figure. Added a wash to them...

Gloves off eBay, cool leather look, but too light so applied a dark wash and chopped off the fingers of course. The hands I had couldn't fit the gloves so I used the hands off my Art Figures Dredd, which are amazing! The detail is unreal but best of all they are flexible! Meant I could not only get them into the gloves, but I could pose them just like the Mythos...

Backpack coming together

Not bad next to the original statue

And here he is all done...

He was a fun build and all-in-all I'm pretty stoked with the outcome. Especially as he came in under $200NZD (approx $135USD).

Cheers guys.

Fantastic! Not only do I love how it looks, but I love the fact that you where able to make something that you really wanted but was otherwise unobtainable. Great job!

Great work! That waxed cloak looks fantastic. I can see why you like the original statue - it really tells a story, as does your version.
