Collins Does Star Wars Legion

I got hold of a load of models cheap from a friend who doesn’t like rebels.

I was chatting with friends and it we came up with an amazing idea for what to do with my now spare Luke Skywalker! Change his head for a helmeted rebel head and then somehow attempt to make a poncho with green stuff.

it should be mentioned that I have never used green stuff for anything other than filling gaps.

The first thing I did was search the spare models for a male head that was helmeted and looked vaguely like Luke.

turns out the only one that does is the ATRT driver. :/

So then it was down to mr choppy the scapel to behead both volunteers and the king stick the superglue to put them back together again

Ive laid strong plastic bag out on the table and taped it down as thats what the internet said to do… it stops sticking apparently when combined with lots of water. turns out, they were right! I rolled out the green stuff into a very thin sheet and cut it to a rectangle and made a slit in the middle for the head and then drapped it over Baby Vader (who by ROTJ was definitely close to becoming a Baby Vader)

Ive then started to make folds and creases using super cheap plastic palette knives.

It should be noted that the arms have not been glued in at this point.

Ive then started to add more folds and finer detail. This took time and was a bit frustrating but actually quite enjoyable until I then fat fingers touched it leaving my finger prints all over it!

a bit of water and feathering and it was all back flat again.

Ive  also sculpted in a hood and belt and final touches after gluing in the arms.

The sculpting is done! just got to wait for it to dry and cure now ready for painting!
