1/6th Scale Sideshow Hoth Luke Skywalker (Echo Base)

[TaliBane]

Undo his scarf and re-tie to make it longer. It isn't glued in place.

But yeah, as much as I love Han Hoth, I do like Luke Hoth better overall and I didn't even plan on getting the Luke.

The face sculpt/eyes issue does bother me on the hatted Han - though the hatless Han head more than makes up for it. The eye issue is very minor on Luke, really not that noticeable.

Lukes Scarf ? is one side meant to be longer than the other ?

Luke's scarf supposed to hang maybe 2 inches below the hat on one side - just google some pics.

 

[mikesgtrs]

im not sure how I can make it longer

 

[TaliBane]

Yeah, undo the whole thing completely from the hat and then re-tie it so it hangs 2" below the hat.

Bad pick but you get the idea, luke scarf just untie and redo it longer, I'd say my luke has the eye issue but han not so much

This is my custom Luke Bespin using the extra Sideshow Hoth Luke head. Clothes/boots are HT, belt/weapons are SSC. On eBay slim narrow body, parts bin hands, next to modded Hasbro Vader. Luke is 11 1/2" tall, Vader 13 1/2".

Nice man, that looks great... which slim narrow did you buy? I've seen a few, but not sure what is the best option.

I actually just tried to find it again (it was a $22 slim/narrow fro eBay) but it is no longer available. There are a couple of others that seem to have replaced it, but they are pretty different in construction. I even contacted the original HK seller and they are all gone.

That body was going to be my custom ESB Boba body so now Boba's been put on the backburner until a new body arrives. I put the HT outfit on it and it was perfect Luke proportions and height so had to do it.

I did a complete body swap $20 body in eBay

Hi Shocktrooper, what body is it on ebay? As I want to use the other head on the Jedi Luke.

So it's not the standard narrow that is all over eBay, but one that was also slim? I saw some newer designs pop up listed as B006 and B007 with fixed necks, but I think they are a normal 12" height and then one slightly taller than that.

Looks really great, TaliBane!

Still won't let me rep you back, I think I'm about to get banned soon, wanted to give a parting gift.

I think I'm about to get banned soon

What!? No. Did you get nailed for something?

Here's my re-worked custom Hoth Luke figures from Sideshow. I color corrected the vests on both and I did a battle damage custom using the exclusive BD head sculpt.

Holy crap! That snow weathering looks freaking amazing!!! How did you do it?

Thanks man!! I used fake snow from a craft store and spray on adhesive glue. Then I followed that up with some gloss varnish to seal it in. I also used Gesso paint to weather in additional snow effects on the face and outfit.
