My rendition of Queen Amidala & Handmaidens

It's all dependant on the varnish you use. I use Colour Protection CD Spray (2 good coats) The torso shines It's about £10 a 400ml tin but does go a long way

Yup over a normal Torso.

I use a stanley knife. (Use a brand new blade) Works really well for me and it takes no time at all.

Welll done. The body is a cut down Watto - Off with his head and wings Before anyone gasps it was a failed cast of watto not original.

Anyone want to take a stab at what is going to be?

Once the decal is applied it's all down to the varish you use afterwards.. Water based varnish will dry the same colour as the decal - ie White shows up as white. Solvent based varnish will dry clear - ie white is transparent. Remember that if you put light colours (decal) onto a dark coloued torso and use solvent based varnish the colour of the torso will overpower the decal colour. You should play around a little - work on the theory that dark torso - Water based - Light torso Solvent based varnish

Okay, Here is Bossk, Not sure which colour suits best. Also the picture does not look the best - Camera picks up all the imperfections that my eyes can't see. Enjoy The heads for both figures are solid plastic

Finished Gunray. I'll post some pictures of Bossk tomorrow. Thanks for the great comments.

The problem with making your own capes is freying of materials. From what I've found there are 2 solutions. 1. Use a none frey material PVC etc 2. You can use cotton etc but before cutting it use an anti frey spray.

It's Plastiline, I've poored the rubber over them,which creates the 1st part of the mold (Just need to wait 16hrs now for it to cure) Colour will be added to the plastic solution once the 2nd part of the swish mold is complete.

Thanks They are the posatives for molding then I'll use a plastic compond with die to create the finished peices.

Work in progress Clay models almost ready for casting.. Bossk Gunray A little rough in some places which show up more on the photos

Cut the stem off one of these. - There will be a hole left for some black cotton

Twilek's heads are indeed casts of "arealights" Everything you see in the photos is my work (Casting anyways)

Just a few more...

This is a recast of the orginial - Which I just purchased of BL - $60 delivered Now to mod the thing so it looks like Watto.

My New ones.. Watto & Greedo

I just happened to have £100 of argos vouchers *sweet* Well spent on cheap lego.

Whilst I'm no fan of using pens etc to change a minifig I am up for people using any method that they can afford or are capable of achieving. PSP if you like it..... Good on ya

Nice Decals. Just as LTC would make them

Nice Decals. Great detail.

Yes, They rotate. You let the glue set off before the arms are inserted.

As you may or may not be away buying brown hands costs a few quid. I made an army of jawa's I used basket ball arms (as these have brown hands attached) If you put the arms straight into a standard brown torso then they just spin around. If you put a small amount of super glue in the torso holes for the arms and allow to dry, then the arms go in tight and hold their own. I did this some time ago anf the glue seems to hold up really well
