| Lando in Jabba Palace Guard Disquise. I liked the original release of the Lando Guard, but as time passed and Hasbro began to improve their sculpting and make the figures less muscular, I realized that the Lando needed an overhaul. I also really like the use of vinyl in the the new figures for skirts, cloaks, jackets etc. I really wanted to put that new look onto a Lando skiff. Basically what I did was I shaved down the chest making it slimmer. . I then searched for the right vinyl skirt to use. I ended up using the Final Duel Obi Wan Kenobi skirt. I trimmed it to the shape I wanted., cut away all of the extra detailing on it and turned it around. I created the buckle and cut away all of the jedi pouches on the belt. I then had to find the right waist that would work with the legs, the skirt and the torso. I don't remember which one I ended up using, but it took alot of trial and error. After I slimmed down the torso I needed to build up the inside pin of the arms, so that the arms would form tightly to the torso. Once I did this I put the new Lando head on. Then I trimmed out the helmet. I cut way the teeth by the helmet and cut down to the silver "vent" type thing by Lando's mouth. After this was finished I gave the figure a darker reapaint, which I felt was more accurate to how he looked in the movie. |
