Luke Hoth Custom

[mah45]

This is basically a body swap (Hasbro to sideshow Bespin Luke).
Thanks Perry

 

[DarthNeil]

I just added the word "Custom" to the title so people don't get too excited thinking it's a new release.

Those Bespin Lukes can come in handy-- I used a second one (and a Hasbro Yoda with backpack) for a Dagobah Luke.

Nice. I wish I had this figure for the gear also. I have the Han Hoth figure. I think I will try the same thing.

 

[LOPIE]

Look good, you should do a Han next

 

[arnax161]

I tried a Hoth Han. After some modifications to the jacket, this figure turned out ok. Scaping the "insulation" out of the jacket really makes it hang better and more realistic. I also removed the grey ends to the jacket sleeves. I still have to find the hat and goggles. Han looks as if he took a leak because the jacket is still wet. After modifying the coat, I soaked it in hot water to flex it up. Afer I find those goggles, I am going to want to build a 1/6 Probot...

Great man, it's looking pretty good.

 

[Mad Old Lu]

Yeah, those do look pretty good! Makes me really want Sideshow to get the Hoth stuff going!

Mah45 just one small suggestion: I would try and tighten up the sleeves. That is the main problem I see with all the Hasbro figures, they make the sleeves way too wide so you could almost fit two arms in one sleeve! It's not as noticeable on arnax Han's coat, so I think taking the insulation out definitely helped. You may want to try that with Luke's coat.

Otherwise they look really great! Nice job guys!

i kinda take disagreement for the word "custom". this is more like a kit bash, which is great, but custom means they actually did something to change it. i don't consider a swap of an outfit to be it unless the outfit was built custom.

 

[mah45]

I see your point. I wasn't sure what the difference was when customizing and just swapping onto another body.
Thanks Mad Old Jim, I'll try tightening up the sleeve and wrist area.

Eh, 6 of one 1/2 dozen of the other. Its been customized even if you are bashing them together.

But important thing is they're looking good. Especially digging how Han is turning out

 

[Dorgmal Snow]

Custom smustom I love em and really like the Han too... muat resist buying yet another dolly... must resist.......

 

[Craigisnutter]

Love it and the Han, personally, i'd be happy enough with a Jedi Luke, Tatooine Luke and Stormie Luke and on the Han side of things, just Stormie Han and Bespin Han. But if you want the Hoth Luke and Han, then it certainly does the job well.

 

[d_jedi1]

I've been thinking about doing the same thing with my Hoth Luke's outfit..
Looks very good.

 

[Dorgmal Snow]

Been inspired by Chakamans Hoth Han and as soon as the outfit arrives it will be put in to good use. Also managed to get a Hoth Luke and I must say good old Hasbro.... Great outfit. Popped it on a new body borrowed so marmit AT-AT gloves and he looks great.

Want to get hold of a Bespin Luke head if any folks have one for sale... Wanna put the Wampa scare on.... maybe even do a ESB dio!!! but I have to finish the Falcon first, before I start building snowspeeders and AT-ATs

If any one has suggestions for working on the luke let me know.

That looks damn good as it is Dorgs

 

[Chakaman]

Looks great Mark. Luke Hoth is the next one on my list. I really like those gloves. I may do something like that on my Han.

 

[Ryan1982]

Looks great Dorg. Going to look nice with a Luke head on there.

 

[jimjimmyjones85]

Looks good for sure. Would not mind bashing one of these up myself. I did a Hoth Leia already, why not do the boys.
