Dyman Kath (Zabrak Mercenary)

Dyman Kath was a Zabrak mercenary employed by General Oro Dassyne as an advisor and bodyguard. It is generally believed that Kath survived the fall of Dassyne's garrison on Bomis Koori IV, although his whereabouts were unknown.

Parts: Head (TPM Jedi Duel Darth Maul), Body (WWII Paratrooper), Blaster Rifle (PotF2 Boba Fett).

Supplies: Dremel, X-acto knife, paintbrushes, Testors paints and Testors Dull-Cote.

Reference: None. This character is entirely fan-fic.

I had to Dremel out the neck hole a bit for the new head to seat properly. Once the head was attached, the rest was a matter of painting. I stayed close to the original paint scheme because I felt that it wasn't particularly distinctive of an "earth" military unit. After painting, the entire figure was given a light coating of Testors Dull-Cote.

  1. Good use of bad parts! The Darth Maul head is somewhat limited and the figure itself isn't something normally used for Star Wars customs... though you've certainly done that a few times in the past!

  2. Commander Y,

    Thanks! This guy was kind of a follow-up to the General Oro Dassyne figure I made for Yakfinities #29. You should head over there and check out some of the other submissions: http://www.yakfaceforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=4091
