Obi Wan and 3-CPO look a bit confused, no? Continue scrolling!
I end these slew of photos with 3-CPO and R2R2 mooning you. :)
These models are custom painted by Richard and were done on commission for a dear friend's Birthday/Father's Day present! (His wife had them done as a surprise.) What an awesome present, right? Custom and one of a kind anything makes for a great gift! If you don't know by now, Rich is and has been for more years than I've been alive- a huge fan of Star Wars. We go to Comic Cons and Fan Expos to meet his all time favourite character Boba Fett (Jeremy Bullock, one of the nicest people ever!). I can't say I'm anywhere near as big a fan as him...except for my not so secret crush on Ray Park aka. Darth Maul...but I do appreciate fine art and I'm super impressed (and not at all shocked) at how flawless these came out. You should see Rich's collection...it's extensive! He's always looking for more projects to work on, so if you or anyone you know want custom model or figures painted, you know where to go!
Figures can be mounted on a base, router-ed and covered in an acrylic case which get's made to size. They're not toys and they make a really nice looking display! Plus, Rich's painting isn't just limited to Star Wars. Heck, if I had a model of Michael Fassbender, Ryan Gosling, Jon Hamm or Stephen Lang (to name a few), I'd probably have them painted and encased too!
I should show you the rest of his work...
Did I mention he has built from scratch, life sized and accurate light sabers?
