Happy Star Wars day from the team at Mediocre Hobbies! What movie are you watching to celebrate?
I finally got my hands on a Shatterpoint set and got it painted up to celebrate the nerdiest day of the year! Thanks to Eirehobbies for sending this out in time after some last minute plans were made-they always deliver super fast! This was my first time painting Shatterpoint models from Atomic Mass Games and...well I think I'll stick with Star Wars Legion! Hope you enjoy this sort of painting tutorial for this epic duel set between the glorious Obi-wan and the even more glorious Darth Vader, from the Obi-wan tv show! Let me know what you think of the result, and if you agree with me about Shatterpoint too!
Thanks again to @damiensaber for sending this awesome lightsaber than has already provided me with hours of fun and will definitely be making it's way into a cosplay at some point! You can check them out right here, along with their discounts for Star Wars Day!

Thanks for checking out the video! - Jak na to + styl
The strangest thing about Obi - Wans mold lines is that on a lot of their other sculpts they do an incredible job of hiding those lines. Using folds and overlapping like you said. For some reason, on this very expensive box, they drop the ball.
That’s so disappointing .
I’d love to see more shatterpoint!
You probably won’t as the video did awful lol
With the thin sabers, they were probably going for a more
Rebels-style saber design
Yeah I get that, they’re just so flimsy to work with though 😄
I understand the criticism of the mini quality, I had the same initial reaction (I also don't play Shatterpoint or Legion). However, having a Vader/Luke/Wren/Maul model painted and on display has given me such a dopamine hit! It gives me the same feeling as having a custom designed mini for my DnD character ... lots of flaws, but I am so invested in them it doesn't matter.
True I got over it.
The force is strong in you!
Cheers pal.
Stunning! May the force be with you guys🥰
Thank you! You too! ❤️
As for the lightsaber blades, they're more "realistic" in this scale to how they should be. In legion they had to be chunky otherwise they'd be near impossible to mould without snapping. I believe the newer plastic Legion models are a little thinner than the older resin cast models.
I binged Tales of the Empire then restarted Ahsoka. Empire was the first film I watched only because A New Hope had already been rented out at the video shop.
Hahah fair. And ye I get the looks thing but stilll think
Thicker would have been better.
@MediocreHobbies true. Mind you they're pretty durable, I've had several narrow escapes with them, but their thinness just means they're more flexible.
I applied Andy logic to today's paint order and now I have lots of tufts coming too 😂, great video love the terrain work!
Ah I love it! Thanks man, and enjoy the tuffs 😂
Awesome video as always Andy. Not my kind of models - but I can appreciate the work and always learn from the techniques used hope you had a good weekend and Star Wars day!!
Appreciate the watch anyway Ashley, cheers for the support
I'll take any Star Wars content, but do more Shatterpoint! 😍😍
After the horrific views on this video I doubt it lol.
I wonder where the hardest working CZcamsr went. This is awesome.
Haha had a few things on this week! Back to normal next week 🤞
Ugh, I didn't want to get this, but now I do 😅 great work such a nice change to what it was originally depicting.
Glad you liked it pal
May the Fourth be with you! 😊
And also with you!
The Kenobi model is amazing and the paint scheme is very good. I remember seeing Star Wars in 1977, standing on line for two hours before watching it on screen, with 1500 other fans in the theater, in NYC. It was a wonderful experience and the movie blew me away.
Oh wow, what a great memory to have!! It must have been even more epic back then when it first came out!
@MediocreHobbies Absolutely. Plus the lines were just about as long for Empire Strikes back and Return of the Jedi. Arguably these represented the best of the three triologies!
"I see your schwartz is as big as mine..."
Dam straight.
That is a stellar diorama! Better than the obi wan kenobi show :D
Oh wow that’s high praise 😂
I'd describe Obi Wan's outer robe as 'taupe'.
That is a very good word!
Awesome work Andy!
Thanks so much man!
X-Wing mini's are already painted but a trench run diorama would have been crazy (if you are looking for a video game to play I have 2 suggestions. Star Wars: Republic Comando or Star Wars Rouge Squadron 3D both are cheap and on sale on steam)
Cheers for that.
Darth Vader's sculpt does him justice. Definitely brings fear to those unfortunate enough to cross his path. His Rogue One rebel slaughter scene was epic. Again, thanks for sharing your paint project on that diograma.
Anytime pal. He is the true bad guy. So cool.
Nice take Andy, I've attempted a Vader before but I liked your take on how to paint him. Getting the different textures on the blacks is something I'll use.
I keep thinking about getting the witch mother set for shatterpoint. Mostly just for a painting project although there is a small shatterpoint community in the area. I have a fair amount of legion and have enjoyed playing that game as well.
My main thing with games like shatterpoint and crisis protocol is there's no easy in if you don't want the core box stuff. So u kinda end up getting the core box anyway as it makes more financial sense. I'd be keen to just have a warband but then there's the specific dice and range rulers etc... terrain isn't so much of an issue these days as the FDM printer can churn out plenty as needed.
Anyways I digress. Happy may the 4th to all. My happy moment with star wars is our youngest he's eight ATM and has been watching star wars all his life. He loves it so much and his sheer joy and happiness at the entire universe lights up my world every time I see his face when he's watching it. It's a timeless universe, I love all of it. I had alot of fun exploring the EU stuff on audible books. The Darth Bane series was fantastic especially if your a budding sith lord..
Thanks for taking the time for that message pal. Appreciate it. And happy starwars day.
Nice. I guess we’ve got used to how reliable the quality has got from other miniature brands. Hard to stomach when they don’t get it right but nice reminder of the normal standard I guess!
That’s true for sure.
This is the video I'm looking for!
It worked! 😂
Nice job
Thanks!
Fab' vid'. thanks Andy. Lots of ideas that I'll fit into my painting. I loved the opening 👍
Haha thanks man! Glad it hear that it will help you as well 😊
May the Force be with you
And with you Kabrinski!
Half way through the video ATM but I had to say ohff about those connections points on Obi. Sprue glue would probably be my answer to fill that problem point. Still for the price point of the shatterpoint kits I would also be disappointed.
Yeah there’s definitely ways to fix it if I was doing it for a competition or something but as you said, I really shouldn’t need it!
Brilliant work Andy! Love the textures on Obi Wan's robe and the terrain! I like the switch from the desert to a more visually interesting setting.
Thanks so much, glad you liked the switch up!
Mediocre my arse - I think you did a damn good job on your minis, and the diorama looks great too!
Thanks pal. Very kind.
Another great video Andy. I was really intrigued to see how well your paint method transitioned to 54mm, that actually opens up a lot of possibilities that I wouldn't have thought about before. Really great to see how Vader worked out too!
Glad you liked it pal.
Ah yes perfect!
Glad you enjoyed the content!
Amazing work. It all looks incredible. Would love to see you do more star wars and marvel minis. Hopefully the views will justify the effort.
They did not lol. Awful reaction to this video.
Great looking diorama! I totally agree with your thought on the lightsabers, but I think the sculpts as a whole are quite good. I prefer the proportions in Shatterpoint in comparison to legion.
I think the proportions are good, but I don’t think the lightsabers need to be so flexible 😂 thanks man
I'm watching a new hope in the cinema with my friends, and tomorrow one of their houses cause one decided that his girlfriend was more important than star wars with the donkyes
Heresy!!
Hope you had a good Star Wars filled weekend though!
I have a bunch of Shatterpoint models and some of the molds are quite baffling. Especially when you consider that it's the same company that does Marvel Crisis Protocol
Right?? Maybe it’s a different team within the company but still…very odd choices being made!
Happy May 4th 🎉
Same to you!
I forgot to mention, when it comes to bad seams, Tamiya putty is your friend.
Need to try that.
Love when you branch into other games or the Lotr stuff. Random question, where do you pick up most of your transfers you use for the bretonnians? Is there a 3rd party you recommend?
I think he uses old transfers he already had
Cheers pal. Just wish other people did lol.
I do indeed.
There'd be no rust inthe desert as there's no moisture
This isn’t in the desert 😄
Tattooing literally a desert planet
