This is a great kitbash. Nice job with the Twi'lek (you should give her a name and backstory).

Thanks, Starchaser! I'll definitely work on a backstory!

Aa’ Shachen

I'm still working on the backstory for my orange Twi'lek bodyguard, but while I'm working it, I thought I might post this custom. This is my Imperial Twi'lek assassin. Twi'leks are my favorite species in the Star Wars universe, and I've been very disappointed that they haven't shown up in the new movies. I’m sad that there aren’t that many twi’lek figures, but I do enjoy the opportunity to make my own.

Backstory:

Aasha’chen, also known as Aash Achen, was an assassin employed by the empire during the time that Darth Vader was still living. She was the adopted daughter (and only child) of a wealthy family Coruscant family. Her parents were killed when their luxury cruiser collided with an out-of-control frigate. Aasha’chen was 17 at the time, and went to work as a dancer in one of Coruscant’s lower level cantinas. She left her job as a dancer with a Rodian assassin, named Max, who taught her most of her skills. After Max was imprisoned for tax evasion, Aasha’chen went to work for the empire. Though the Empire didn’t typically employ nonhumans, Aasha’chen was an exception due to her ability to pose as a slave girl. She was very successful as an assassin, and, having no true loyalty to the Empire, quickly found other employers after its collapse.

I’m really pleased with this figure, and I hope to make Max soon as well. I significantly dremeled the Lyn Me head to remove the chin strap and sculpt the chin. I also drilled out a socket so that the head would fit the Black Widow ball joint.

Recipe:
Head- Lyn Me (Jabba The Hutt's Dancers) POTF
Body- Marvel Universe Black Widow Series 2, 2010 HASBRO
Belt- Tie Fighter Pilot (TVC)
Cape- Darth Vader

Backstory and process:

Chatz “Max” Kseeboe  was a Rodian assassin who had an aptitude for poisoning his targets. Max’s main clients were those involved in politics who wanted their political adversaries eliminated. He had a penchant for Sabacc, and frequented cantinas in Coruscant’s lower levels. It was in one of these seedy establishments that he first encountered Aa’ Shachen. He quickly took interest in the young Twi’lek and decided to mentor her. Max was a very successful assassin, and was never convicted of murder. He was, however, eventually imprisoned for tax evasion because he wasn’t very good at managing his finances. 

I painted the armor on the Anakin torso so that the color better matched that of the loki arms. I also weathered the pants with bronze paint. Oddly, the Doda Bodonawieedo head was cast in brown despite being painted entirely green, so I had to mix the same color green to paint the base of the head after dremeling out the socket for the ball joint.

I just copied and pasted here myself. For the life of me I can't figure out why you are getting some of these error message when you are posting. I am glad to see this update. Off to share it.

Thanks so much Tamer. I really don't know what was going on either.
