A native of Ralltir, Lieutenant Dunlo Urstin is a member of Ten Nunb's Thunder Squadron. After his squadron leader, Urstin is the best pilot in the unit. He will normally volunteer for the most difficult assignment during each mission.Parts: Head (Cantina Han Solo), Torso (Ten Numb), Left Arm (Biggs Darklighter), Right Arm (F/X X-Wing Luke Skywalker), Legs (Ten Nunb), Helmet (Ten Nunb).
Supplies: X-acto knife, Super Sculpey, file, emery board, paintbrushes, Testors paints and Testors Dull-Cote.
Reference: I wanted to create a couple of B-Wing pilots to flesh out Ten Nunb's Thunder Squadron as background characters in a hangar diorama. This guy is the second of them. I used reference stills from Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi to get the uniform correct.
Step One: I assembled the necessary parts using the boil-n-pop method and then allowed the figure to cool completely.
Step Two: To make the figure a little taller, I cut off the Ten Nunb boots. I added a little bit of Super Sculpey to the top of the boots and cured with boiling water. Then, I super glued the boots back on.
Step Three: I cut one side of the facemask so that it looks like he has it disconnected. The area near the cut was trimmed to look like a buckle and then painted silver.
Step Four: I painted the flightsuit red. Parts of the chest controls were touched up with different metallic colors. The gloves were painted black. The hair was painted black and he was given a beard and mustache to help disguise the Han face.
Step Five: After the paint was dry, I applied a coat of Testors Dull-Cote to seal the paint and reduce the shine.
