I just updated an Aayla Secura figure with the hands from the new CMF veterinarian figure.

Expand  

What does it look like? Do you have picture?

[Valezri]

Sorry no pics (I don't own a camera) but the hand color matches perfectly to her skin color. Looks alot more accurate than the dark grey hands originally used.

Sounds cool. Didn't even realize that Aayla Secura had gray hands. Thought they were blue.

I Upgraded my Imperial Shock-troopers to be like the ones seen in Battlefront, with the backpack and heavy DLT-19 blaster rifles.

Tried out the waist/legs form the new cmf chef on Krennic (also on Yularen). Looks pretty good and the alignment is actually pretty close for the tunic flap. Pleased with it and feel like it finishes off the figure nicely.

Does anyone think this would be a better hairpiece for Jyn Erso? I think it looks better than the one provided.

This is this hair I used: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=88283&idColor=120#T=S&C=120&O={"color":120}

Wow that turns out to be an incredible mod!

Just in case anybody was interested... I see Han's new hairpiece is available from B&P.

I bought 10 yesterday :P. I think it's the best piece I've ever bought from B&P.

By the way, R2-M3's head is also available. Pretty random.

There is a decal for them on Peter's Startales if you're willing to get a little bit non-purist.

Thanks for mentioning that! Just ordered 8 of them and some other stuff, including the Batman legs for Tarkin. Also ordered a Boba Fett keychain mainly to get the R3-M2 polybag. But I need a new keychain anyways. I'll probably upload pictures of my updated Han's when the parts have arrived.

Update of my Han figures, the Chef Krennic update with his guard and the updated Biker Scout figures with BrickForge weapons.

You should try Syndrome legs for the Biker Scouts. You'll just need to erase the silver.

I've used those in a Punisher custom. As much as these legs aren't dual moulded I like the print detail and I'd lose that with the Syndrome legs.

Yeah, how expensive are the new Biker Scouts? I thought they only came in the Endor Village set.

They're also in the 75023 advent calendar

I'm holding off buying the scout in any significant numbers as it must be due a major update when next released. It just looks really dated now when compared to other troopers, the helmet in particular.

Nail polish seems to ruin the plastic of the heads. Any suggestion or alternative to remove a secondary face from the back of the head?

I believe it should work using Brasso, which is a metal polishing compound.  I have never tried a head, but I have used this to remove the print from torsos before.  Nail polish remover is usually acetone-based, and acetone will destroy plastic structure if it comes in contact with surfaces.

Just apply Brasso to the face you want to remove, allow it to sit for about a minute, then rub vigorously with a towel or paper towel.  Be careful to keep the Brasso off the face you want to keep, though.
