A Star Wars: Legion Christmas Special
Assembly and Modification
Thanks to the way the figure was molded I was able to build in subassembly the same way complicated figures can be painted. For the sculpting I turned to Apoxiesculpt. The cloak on the left arm had the holes filled in with gloss varnish and a fur trim added. The legs had a length of plastic strip for a row of bells to be put on. The helmet got a customary Santa style hat. That hat, mind you, was the most troublesome bit in trying to get a puff at the end that kept its texture while the rest of it hadn’t yet cured. The backpack was its own matter as the twin jets of mini flame seemed boring and I wasn’t sure about the stability of the figure on the transparent peg. To remedy this I made bursts of snow coming from the pack which almost matched in the curvature of the wire. In the end those didn’t matter for stabilizers.
What can be accomplished while at work. Just don't tell the boss.
