Obi Wan Kenobi Desert Nomad
« on: June 02, 2012, 12:50:30 PM »
Hello All, Just wanted to introduce myself , and jump on board. I am new in the world of customizing and i have so wanted to get into customizing for a very long time. So years later i finally did it. I have been in awe of all the work and imagination that goes into customizing . So without any further delay i did my figure based on the upcoming Obi Wan Kenobi desert nomad from the Star Wars Mythos line. I welcome all comments both good and constructive criticism.  Thanks

Welcome to the Yards!  Great community here; you'll love it!

Very nice approach: you've utilized soft goods quite well here.  Soft goods are often used sparingly in most of the customs out there, but you've gone more extensively into this area and the final product looks great.  I love the realism that you've created here with the 'leather' straps and the frayed hem on his robes.  Very nicely done. 

IMO, the pack is the best part of the Mythos figure and you've done an excellent job of replicating it here.  You've obviously taken great care in choosing parts that most closely represent the pack on the statue.

Light side, dark side...meh.  Just give me a lightsaber and a blaster and I'll take care of it!

Welcome! Aha! I see why Obi-Wan was a bit stooped over in the later films--all that kit on his back! Great job! Lots of gear is always a good thing! :D

Hey thank you for your feedback. I do agree with you that the backpack is the best feature on the  Mythos figure.  My first attempt at customizing came out better than i expected. I may go back to tweak it . But again Thank you
