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.
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!
ReplyDeleteCommander Y,
ReplyDeleteThanks! 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
