Freaked Out
Hey Guys!
Well I have this old 1/6 Qui Gon from SS for few months and finally started working on!
I changed the whole body with a body similar to a TrueType from HT but less expensive! I modified the length of the legs by doing something simple. I took the feet of the original body, made the part where it is attached flat. Once you've done that you put them properly in the boots. Then you take the feet of your actual body, open them up and take the parts where the pegs go. You trim the little part that goes in the feet. You glue those two parts on the feet in the boots and your done. No modifications needed on the body and you gain the extra length. I hope i'm clear!
I also gave the boots a repaint, and gonna spray them with a shiny finish next week.
I dyed the cloak and the pants in a darker brawn. When that's done, i put all the clothes in the fabric softener, it's easier to work with them this way.
I put all the clothes back on the figure to give them a good shape.
Result 1 :
I wasn't happy at all by the result, the proportions were not right.
I decided to modify the fabric belt and the jedi belt to lower them a bit and have the right proportions. Ahah my work there isn't really beautiful but it works fine so...
There you have the result of the belts modification.
You also have some height comparison with a normal 1/6 figure.
I ordered another sculpt that was awesome, but as it was on the net couldn't see it was way too small, hopefully it was cheap...
I decided to go with the original sculpt from SS and modify it.
I added some epoxy putty to change some of the parts, tomorrow when it's dried, i will sand everything and add details. I will also try for the first time to hair the HS!
Hope it helps and you enjoyed what you see.
Cheers
