Reg, but I may try a BD tomorrow. The SS head is a balls to get apart.

Gave them both a little snow treatment today, early doors yet i didn't want to go over board. I also pulled lukes rank badge off and pushed it further into the pouch.

Looking great SV: did you weather Luke's jacket (other than adding snow effects)?

"Hmm, let me scan for that Luke kid. I know he's gotta be around here somewhere...."

Ok, so I took the whole thing apart, put it back onto a HT TT, modded a HT Bespin head and mixed it with SS head. The top half of the hat comes off to allow perfect access to PERS. I have to say it looks fantastic, better than I had hoped.

Sounds promising. I am taking notes.

So it's what, a $400 figure now?

Can't wait to see the pics though.

WHAT!? I'm supposed to do this to fix my Luke Hoth! This is outrageous, sir.

Rory, how do you "mix" a HT head with a SSC head? You swapped the PERS?

I cut open the SS head. Removed the "face" & "eye" block. Got a HT sculpt, cut it down and fitted it inside the SS hat/outside.

I can see HT Luke bespin heads selling out real fast on the 'Bay now...

 

[Rorywan]

I have a pile of HT Luke parts, think I had around 6 heads at one point.

When you say 'cut down' do you mean you actually cut it down?

 

[Rorywan]

Yes, with a scalpel.

 

[Tom Day]

Yes, with a scalpel.

I just bought one of those heads today to put on one of my stormtroopers when it arrives and it was expensive so the fact that you cut it up is awe-inspiring. Are those customs in your signature? If so, I love the Joker and Indiana Jones.

Looking forward to your pics Rory.

Hoth Luke was always cool, but apart from the smaller Kenner / Hasbro figures, I never really wanted a significant representation of that version.

It's always been Bespin & Jedi (& farm boy to a lesser extent).
