Custom 1/6 HT Snow Speeder Luke Skywalker

[jedijim3002]

I really love the new HT Bespin Luke and I did not want to clutter up talk on that thread with all the great custom work that people are doing. So here we go yet again creating a new thread for another Luke. This time the Snow Speeder version or what will probably be more accurate to say the Dagobah arrival Luke.

I used Dorgmal Snows recipe except mine has the HT belt and I left the blaster pistol and holster on for more of the Dagobah arrival look. I'm in the process of making another set of gloves like the ones I used for my Hoth Luke and ill probably have to cannibalize my SS bespin Luke belt for the actual speeder look. So he will eventually have two belts. I also got a balaclava to go over his head under the helmet for that version as well.

where did you get the suite from because i have the hasbro one

 

[SideshoMel]

Hot Toys sure gave room for lots of kitbashing possibilities. Great job with the Lukes you've put together.

 

[Chakaman]

That does look nice, good stuff.

 

[generalgrevious]

what helmet is that and where can i find one and gloves as well

 

[jedijim3002]

Here is the recipe.
Hasbro:
X-wing pilot jumpsuit
Flak vest
Straps
Chest box
Leg bullet holder thingie
Hoth Luke collar(from vest painted and glued on)

SS:
Ceremonial Luke jacket(painted)

HT:
DX Luke head
Hands
Body
Belt
Boots
Blaster
Saber

Tomy:
Helmet

I painted the yellow ceremonial jacket orange and the Hoth vest collar and glued them together. I cut down the hasbro flak vest to a more realistic size and chopped off some of the leg strap for the vest. Attached the leg straps to the inside of the jacket and painted the boot straps.

 

[generalgrevious]

cool recipe but what kind of paint did you use. and it wont crack and chip since it`s cloth so lmk what is the best paint if and when i do thi i might use the hasbro ceremonial jacket it`s almost the same and cheaper.so lmk on the paint

 

[jedijim3002]

Paint pens again. From Walmart. It absorbs into the fabric and almost becomes a dye. Like a stain you cant get out. It's a little stiff afterward but no cracking and doesn't inhibit articulation.

Ha haaaaa!!!!!! Yeah I was thinking the same thing. Was just joking about the BACTA tank. Can't see myself displaying a Luke in his underwear.

Any way to dye the jacket or is it too synthetic?

 

[Indiana Fett]

Awesome work jedijim! I'm working on something like this myself using Snow's recipe. Curious what paint you used to paint the jacket orange?

 

[MANDO]

Dig it!

Any way to dye the jacket or is it too synthetic?

That depends on how well the material takes water. I don't have mine anymore so I can only speculate. The key is getting the cloth item completely damp and the dye bath piping hot.

 

[EXOTICLEX]

everything but the jacket looks fantastic....jacket looks a little too big....great work though

 

[Laney74]

Its amazing how good the Hasbro suit fits, I'm on the lookout for a yavin jacket, surprised how big it is on the HT body. Will needs some tailoring with I find one.

Waiting for heads to arrive at the moment.

 

[jedijim3002]

Yeah the jacket is a bit big but I like it. If I ever get tired of looking at it ill tailor it a bit. I think I posted it already but I used an orange paint pen to color the jacket. The material absorbed the color like a dye. Worked pretty well I think.
