So here's one that I've been working on little by little since last summer. Not really an action figure because she has no useful points of articulation. More of a figurine, I guess. Behold, a Twi'lek street girl.
The base figure was a Japanese capsule toy based on an anime whose name escapes me. The figure was missing its face, so it had been sitting in a fodder bag for a few years. I got the idea to make a Twi'lek due to my son's fascination with Oola
He got the jabba playset for Xmas so this WIP Turned into an unrelated character. The face was made using the same ghetto casting method I used on my AT-AT commander's armor, although the initial results were pretty rough and needed a lot of cleaning up.
After that I sculpted the head and the tails, and got them situated on the neck.
The most difficult part was the headdress, which although still a bit rough, turned out better than I expected.
Then the figure sat around for months, waiting for me to paint it, which I finally started a couple of weeks ago.
I might redo the face a bit, make it smoother. Had some trouble with eyebrow placement...
Thanks for checking it out, and let me know what you think! As always, constructive criticism is very appreciated!
