All great choices. The hoth Luke and hoth pilot luke are 2 i wish i had the cash for when released.

Hoth Luke and Wampa would be one of my grail sets from HT, and this is a close second. Fantastic work!

I recieved my second HT Snowspeeder Luke yesterday. My plan is to use the headsculpt and holster to upgrade my dx07. I plan on using the dx07 headsculpt to upgrade my Sideshow Luke Hoth. Then use the rest of the figure to make Dak Ralter.

Here is step one. My upgraded Bespin Luke.View attachment 588059

Just amazing Chaka!
Few questions:

1) Why upgrading the dx07 holster?

2) How did you make those colorful flightsuits?

3) Did you have to do anything to Hoth Luke's shirt to make it fit into the HT gauntlets, or to
the gauntlets themselves? Are the original gloves unusable w/ the HT gauntlets?

4) I guess the old gauntlets are unusable, aren't they? Maybe on some other SW character.

Thx

Thanks James.

Yes, a 1/6th Wampa would be epic indeed.

1. Ended up not swapping holsters. The dx07 holster doesn't fit around the Hoth Luke.

2. The B-Wing pilot suit is a Sideshow Red 5 suits dyed red. The Blue Leader flightuit was a custom commission by Enaud.

3. The HT guantlets fit fine over the Hoth jacket. You could use original gloves, but I feel they are too big and do not match up properly.

4. You could maybe use the old guantlets on something. They are very oversized.

Looking great

Here are some more Dak Ralter work in progress pictures. Helmet is not quite finished and the sculpt is just a generic one for my mock up. The Sideshow boots aren't bad, buy the gloves have to go.
