Just thought I’d get one more before the prices start going up… just waiting for Mr Solo …

Thanks Chris… thought I’d have a go at making a X-wing pilot from the hot toys snow speeder Luke ..

Thanks mate, Never use a flash when taking photos seems to wash the figures out.. always use a narrow shoulder body and usual a body suit.. just think it looks better… on the endor rebel I used a DX25 fat suit

So after a bit of time away I thought it’s time to post something, like to say thanks to Chakaman for giving me a bit of a push with a endor trooper.. thanks Chris

The robe is slightly lighter than the hot toys.. but if you don’t have hot toys it doesn’t matter and I also used the wide shoulder body…

Need to remember it’s not hot toys standard but it’s not hot toys money .. the helmet is ok in fact it’s all pretty good and the only thing needs work is the robe … the drape isn’t as good so I used some bath plug chain and ran that on the inside of the robe… the drape around the neck wasn’t...

Just a comparison.. hot toys and osk

Any good modelling shop… think I used aluminium but brass will do the same thing

It’s all pretty easy.. all stripped down in 10 minutes

The hot toys fat suit has been removed and the sideshow padded trousers were used

Decided to use a few sideshow bits

Just found them on eBay… don’t forget I custom made mine

it’s the sun tan one…. but I had to use chalk to get the colour close to the head… don’t think I can get a perfect match as the body is rubber which is mat and the head is plastic and has a satin finish

Just used a small hacksaw and for the boots put them in boiling hot water let them go soft then push the foot in to stretch the boot …. job done

You will need to roll the rubber leg up a bit … now you can see the ball joint and a long rod …. this is where you need to cut a section out… then sleeve it with a bit of tube …. please make sure you know how much you won’t to shorten her … made mine over a year ago so only guessing it’s 10 mm
