Hot Toys 1/6 Hoth Leia

Just with a dremel. Although slimming down the torso probably wasn't as necessary as slimming the legs and taking in the outfit.

Thanks. And yeah I shaved down the waist, hips and legs, cut and tightened up the rubber torso, and took in the outfit both in the back and on the sides.

Thanks for clearing that up. Will definitely be dong something to mine when she arrives. I’ve just seen your tarkin on another thread ( remember seeing it before when you originally posted it actually) again he looks awesome, you manage to add even more realism to an already very realistic headsculpt.

Thanks. I should probably take some new pics though. My color dioders are making the skin tones look a lot more reddish than they really are.

Body/suit mod looks great DJ!

Nice shot!

Man, I thought she looked good as-is, but now that I've seen that mod, I see she could be better. lol Would never attempt to repaint the face on my own, but would interested in knowing more on how to take in the outfit. Did you do it with clips, or with a proper sewing job? If sewed, how many stitches we talking?

You could probably get away with clips in the back, since the vest would hide them, but I used a sewing machine for mine. There's already a seam down the back, so I took in that one first, and then the ones down the side and then the seam for the inner leg. So basically from every direction I could.

I wish I could say it was a simple mod, but unfortunately this was one that took a bit of work.

With all the snow we're currently buried under, I couldn't resiist a little side trip to Hoth...

 

[SilverStar17]

That is awesome! It’s amazing how some location work can bring a figure to life.

Great pics - and I admire your bravery, JB. I shudder at the thought of getting my figs outside, let alone deep into dirt and snow. A 1/6 wimp.

Kudos Jedi Bear for taking your figures out in the snow.

Most courageous shots since that dude took his Shoretrooper into the swamp.
