Real quick custom.  "Twi'lek Alliance Commando." 

This came about while sorting through extra figures and the tails of an Ayy Vida figure just popped right off in my hand with no effort.

So I had to think what would be a cool head that could make a good twi'lek.  So many purple twi'leks in fan art, but none in figure form, so I dremmeled off the hair and ears of a Resistance figure.

And then I sorted through the fodder to see what neck she'd fit.  I have very little left in terms of usable fodder after a productive month, but I always wanted to do something with the Deena Shan "commando" body and it was a perfect fit.

(had to paint over those incredibly dorky Alliance crests that were on the knee pad, though.  SO dumb looking!)

The tails aren't glued on yet, as I need to find a way to erase the original head's miralian facial tattoos.  Curiously, using acetone only erased ONE of the squares.  So now she's uneven!  I may also dremmel more of the head away so the tails fit "lower." 



anyway, here she is....still a bit of a WIP, but I love the way she looks so far!

Such an excellent kit-bash! I love this composition of yours and am still waiting for those animated Resistance figures to go on clearance from 9.99€ here in Germany. Nobody buys them...you did some decent sculpting on the head there! This custom made my day!

Wow, thanks!  But I did no sculpting here, I just put the Resistance head together with the Aay Vida tails that fell off on their own!  I did dremmel down the head, getting rid of hair and ears to make the headdress/tails fit properly.

Thanks very much!  It was super easy, but I think it looks great. 

Nice custom.

Thanks for your continued support and kind words, Tamer!  Very appreciated!

Great work Lance!

Thank you, thank you!  :D

Pretty cool paintjob on the face! Was Secura the base? Or did you sculpt?

haha!  Thanks, but I did no painting on the figure except to paint the head tails and neck area.

She's Synara San from "Resistance" with the head tails from Ayy Vida from AOTC.

That's a great design! I used the same base for a Twi'lek commando some time back, but using the Synara head and turned out really well for a unique member of this species. I like it!

Hey, thanks a lot, Starchaser!  Would love to see the twi'lek you made if you have the link!

I still haven't cleaned up her face yet of those dots, but it's on my to-do list!

Woowie! That's seamless on the leaks. I never would have noticed. How did you cut/glue so cleanly?

I really didn't do much at all!  The tails on the Aay Vida figure literally just fell off in my hand while sorting through figures.  Guess the glue gave out after, what, 17 years?

And then I just dremmeled down the Resistance head a little so they'd fit.

Easy stuff!

Its back on page 4 of my thread. But its a very poor picture - blurred out by photobucket. I guess I'll take some new shots and upload them.

I'm late to the game here, but I really dig the Sector Security Glip and Flip.  Very cool, fun and they have a lot of personality.  I also really like the Twi'lek Commando, she looks very slick.
