Henchmen4Hire Posted May 26, 2013 Posted May 26, 2013 (edited) Ordered a set of decals from Saber Scorpion, one of them was Samus. Not happy with just adding a sticker, here are some ideas for making the figure even cooler. This is a straight-up LDD build with photoshopped decals. I like it because it's simple and effective. I'd have to paint the robot arm orange and helmet red. And I might get crazy and go further! I already cut a trans-neon-green visor to fit roughly into the GP's visor area, as shown here. Next step would be to cut the chest armor so only the red area remains, that way the chest protrudes. Probably attach some orange 1x1 round plates to the shoulders with tape so they're flexible. Then I'd cut the red part out of the sticker and stick that to the armor. I'll have to get another whole chest piece sticker to put on the torso. I really like this one, it has some much needed added height too. Also, I may just splice the bottom part of some orange legs to the yellow uppers because I don't feel like painting, the stickers would cover the seam anyway. Thoughts?

commodore_legolas Posted May 28, 2013 Posted May 28, 2013 Very nice. Can't want to see the finished figure. Quote
Flipz Posted June 6, 2013 Posted June 6, 2013 Very nice, though I'm not a huge fan of the left arm for some reason. I think it has to do with the angle of the wrist--if only the robot arms could bend to regular minifig angles. Also, I believe that Samus' gun should be colored green as well. Quote
Henchmen4Hire Posted June 7, 2013 Author Posted June 7, 2013 Yep, I wish the robot arm had a little bend in it too, but I don't mind. Here's an update, only photoshopped the helmet and arm colors: Samus Aran WIP by Henchmen4Hire, on Flickr I'm using Sand Green for the cannon because plain Green is butt ugly lol Quote
