Hammerhead As Rebel Pilot

Here is my version of Hammerhead, an Ithorian, as a X-Wing rebel pilot.

Recipe:

• Vintage Hammerhead Head, Feet and Hands
• Vintage Bossk Arms and Legs
• Vintage X-Wing Pilot Body

As always, I only use vintage figures that are beyond repair or restoration, breathing new life into something that would otherwise be thrown away.

Biggs As TIE Fighter Pilot

Biggs Darklighter was a friend of Luke, who trained at the Academy. Biggs served as a TIE Fighter Pilot before joining the rebellion, as we see in the original movie.

Recipe:

• X-Wing Pilot Body
• GI-Joe Head
• Star Destroyer Cmd Arms and Legs

Snow Trooper Captain…

Another addition in the “unmasked” series, here is my version of a SnowTrooper Captain with his helmet removed.

Still needs a white cape…

Recipe:

• Snow Trooper Arms, Legs and Helmet
• GI-Joe Head
• AT-AT Commander Body

Here is a reference photo and link to more info.

Imperial Guard Unmasked

This is my custom version of an Imperial Guard with his helmet removed, so we can get a glimpse of the type of man beneath the mask. The Imperial Guard was originally formed to protect the Galactic Senate, so these individuals pre-date the Stormtroopers and are not clones.

Still needs a red cape…

Recipe:

• Darth Vader Body
• SnowTrooper Helmet
• GI-Joe Head

Imperial Guard

Here’s a reference photo and link to more info.

General Lando Calrissian

Here’s my custom version of General Lando Calrissian. I created this for two reasons: One, the “real” version is somewhat rare, and two, the “real” version doesn’t quite get the uniform right. This custom doesn’t get it 100% either, but at least the slacks are (approximately) right.

Recipe:

• General Madine Torso and Shoulders
• Skiff Lando Head
• Bespin Lando Arms
• AT-AT Pilot Legs

All my customs use vintage figures that were in “played-with” condition and beyond restoration.

BoShek, Everyone’s Second-Favorite Cantina Pilot

This is the requisite “BoShek” custom, the pilot from the cantina scene that introduces Obi Wan to Chewbacca.

Recipe:

• Bossk Body
• X-Wing Pilot Legs and Arms
• GI-Joe Head

I only use vintage figures, those that are beyond any repair or restoration, for my customs.

Snow Speeder Pilot Luke

In “The Empire Strikes Back”, we see Luke Skywalker on the planet Hoth piloting a Snow Speeder. He is in the same X-Wing orange uniform, except with large white leather gloves.

Recipe:

• Degoba Luke Head
• X-Wing Pilot Body and Helmet
• Hoth Han Solo Gloves and Boots

I only use vintage donor figures that are beyond repair or restoration.

Works in Progress…

Here are two works in progress, both nearly finished and just in need of a few accessories.

The first is an Imperial Guard with a removable helmet. The idea is to personalize this figure by seeing the face behind the red mask. To finish this figure he needs a better staff weapon and a red cape.

The second is Darth Vader Unmasked. He is “more machine than man” now, and it shows. He also needs a cape, and some detail on the chest plate.

Recipe (Imperial Guard):

• Darth Vader
• Snow Trooper
• GI Joe Head

Recipe (Darth Vader Unmasked):

• Darth Vader
• Medical Droid
• GI Joe Head

I only use donor figures that are beyond repair or restoration.

K-3PO

Here’s a customization of one of my favorite droids: K-3PO.

This droid is seen in the first chapter of Empire Strikes Back. He is a white version of C-3PO who is in charge of the droid pool in Echo Base on the planet Hoth. Here is a link to this droid’s bio.

Notice the two red dots on the chest plate. I’m not sure if the back-story was made up after the fact, but those dots are rank insignia, making K-3PO a commander in the Rebel Alliance.

Recipe:

• Vintage C-3PO

The donor figure had lost not only his gold coloring, but started loosing quite a bit of metal as well…
