'Average' Rebel pilot. Swapped out the lower legs of a short pilot with a tall pilot to create an average height pilot. Pictured here are Luke (short), Wedge (average) and Biggs (tall):

Jedi Luke. TVC Endor Capture and Armour Up Luke head modded for ball joint. The original head wasn't awful but looks a bit like a sprout. I prefer this one.

Bespin Han! I was always disappointed with TVC one; it was too wrinkly, had horrible hips and the head sculpt was off. I've made this one using Black Series Carbonite Han, POTJ Bespin Han, TVC Bespin Han, SAGA Legends Endor Han head missed to ball joint plus random hands I had in a parts bin



The arms are a better match colour wise in person but I might give the jacket a splash of paint.

I LOVE these customs.  Bespin Han is particularly good.  I too wanted to fix the TVC version.  So good!

Your custom Jedi Luke and Bespin Han figures look excellent!

Thanks.  I know it's not cool to blow your own horn, but I REALLY like my Bespin Han and think it's miles better than TVC version.  I've also now given him the more accurate gun that came with the Black Series ESB Vader.

Jedi Luke now also has the Endor gear (poncho, belt (the more accurate one that came with TVC Deleted Scene Luke), blaster and hat).

Princess Leia as Jabba's prisoner. This has photographed badly, it looks better in person...
Anway, I've always really liked the POTJ Leia with its real chain and 'real' hair so I did a simple head swap on the Vintage Collection Leia and swapped the plastic chain for the real one.

IMO, That is absolutely the best Carrie Fischer likeness.  I JUST picked up that figure at Baltimore Comic Con last week, and I love it.  I never knew that the braid wasn't plastic.
Nice kit bash.

Here's a proof of concept for a more accurate comic book Leia that I may make in the future. She's kinda rough around the edges - her knees don't work, she has no waist articulation and there are some gaps in the seams. Still, if/when I make another I'll know what to look for. The plan is to learn how to use green stuff so I can do the hair etc...
