Thank you everyone.  I'm so glad everybody liked her.  She took a lot of work.  I cut and sewed her outfit by hand and built everything else from scratch with real crystals. I used to work in the education department of a Native American museum and I tried to employ earth skills I use to teach to attach the crystals to the sticks.  I put my anthropology background to use and Elias learned a thing or two about what nature can provide.  It was fun to take the hobby out into the woods for a change and get some hiking in too.  I tried to accessorize her in a way that didn't disturb the Hasbro figure at all, but at least enhanced it.

DD: Love the Ewok priestess!  Great use of soft goods and the jeweled staff.

Elias:  Nice jedi, big guy!  Alien jedi are always awesome!

Light side, dark side...meh.  Just give me a lightsaber and a blaster and I'll take care of it!

This was a really fun project that Elias and I worked on together. We had a bunch of Rodian heads in our fodder box and Elias had the idea to make a Rodian band and added a human female dancer to round out the mix. He did the kitbashing and I just used some Apoxie Sculpt, a few fodder pieces and paint to differentiate them and make them stand out as individuals.


BACKSTORY
The Rodian Band were well known street musicians that could be found in Mos Eisley on Tatooine. A colorful bunch that could be found in the cantina after a long day spending their hard earned credits.

Looks great.  Is the dancer's body that of the infamous "cankle" Leia?  If so, did you somehow narrow those ankles?  Or is it the fact you painted them to look more like shoes simply giving the illusion of a much better proportioned figure?
