Here is a few of my new Endor Leia, it’s not 100% complete, but you get the gist. I still have to extend her neck, trim her thighs, and get a black gun holster. Please post your comments, likes or dislikes.

I like it and she'll even look better on a custom paint job speeder.

A really cool Leia custom. And I like the paint on the Hasbro 12" speederbike too. :)

I'm going to have to get one of those Hasbro Leias, Just for the Unifrom and speeder bike.

Hasbro didn't do to bad with the uniform, just change the boots, helmet, and the belt with the gun holster and you have a SS Endor Leia. I used a CY Girl body, I just have to extend the neck and cut back on the thighs. The pants are a bit tight around the leg area.

looking good man. Which head did you use? I wish we would get more realistic Leia's scultures.

HugeBadWolf

02-20-2009, 11:32 AM

The head is from SSC's Leia Boushh I think

That is correct that is the extra Leia head SS gave us. It's not bad, but a better one would be nice. I personally haven't seen a good Leia head sculpt. SS gave us the extra head might as well put it to good use, and make your own Endor Leia. I’m going to start working on the speeder this weekend. Hopefully I can get a lot done in-between working on that dreaded throne.

The SSC Leias are alot better than some of the monkey-Leias that Hasbro turned out.
IMHO, I think the Boushh Leia is the best we're gonna see.

Cheers,

I think you might be right, they can't even get Luke right. I found a good head sculpt of Jedi Luke and I'm having it painted, but the one SS made looks like a fish with his mouth open. I HATE that sculpt.

I really like what you have done, however the neck looks a little too short.

LOL I know I'm taking care of that, tonight.

Reaper

how's the Boush Leia body? would the entire figure go and make a good base for the Endor Leia?

and definately had to change the belt and holster. but I have some ideas for that. Even have been thinking about moding the ANH Leia Blaster to look more like the ROTJ version. Since the base gun was the same for both Blasters.

I'm sure it would go great with the Hasbro outfit, but I have the Boush body and helmet with Jabbs throne. So I had to get another body for the Endoe Leia. As for the blaster goes that is the ANH blaster, and the boots are from Medicom Luke.

HugeBadWolf

Boushh is a bit too tall for Leia.

Lopie, have you thought about getting a Yavin Luke for the blaster/holster?

Cheers,
Doug

Reaper

02-22-2009, 08:35 AM

Is the ANH Leia a better sie for Leia? as in shorter?

And would headswapping the ANH leia head for a Boush head be practical?

I'm definately going to try modifying a Leia ANH blaster to make the ROTJ version of the blaster. I'll modify a picture of the blaster to show what I'm thinking of doing.

Sounds good pics always help. I'm almost done with the neck extension. I'll post some pics later.

This is a reallty quick edit in MSPaint. There are 2 area that still need to be addressed to make it closer to the ROTJ blaster.

This is a resin replica I did for someone a few years ago. If you look at where the barrel meets the frame, you see an area similar to the original muzzle of the Leia Balster. I'm plannign to use some 2 part epoxy to make this area. Using a razor ot knife blade to make the serations. Ast thing would be the 2 "squares" on the side of the frame, I might try making these as well, but I think the blaster will look good without them as well.

Thanks Reaper, for the blaster pics. I found a way to mod the ANH blaster to what you have. Here are the pics. I think it's close.

Awesome Lopie! Even though she didn't wear those gloves, I like the look of them. Here is a great comparison shot for ya. I'm totally going to copy you, I thought about trying to make a custom outfit, but it looks like the stock fits OK on the CY, just shorten the tunic a bit.

I just finished the blaster and the neck extension I just have to do a little more work on her and I'll take pics. But your right about the tunic I'll shorten the front a bit, and as far as the outfit Hasbro did a good job. As for the gloves go, I like them too. Every customizer should give his creation little bit of his own signature, it makes the figure his own.

Great point! Here's another reference pic, I've had all these saved for getting my own bashed someday. You've done a perfect blaster mod!

I agree which you on this one. I would love to see a repaint of this figure by a professional. I bet that it would look awesome.

Well, finally got the neck extended, however, I still haven’t found a gun holster that I like.

Very nice. What did you do to extend the neck?

LOPIE

02-25-2009, 06:57 AM

I first cut the neck at the base of the body. Then I took a piece of glue gun stick cut it to the correct height, which I will use as the extension piece. I then hot glue the extension piece to the base of the neck and to the top of the cut portion of the neck. Once it’s cooled off I’ll take some epoxy putty and cover the glue gun stick and sand it down till its smooth. And just paint the neck and you’re done. I’m sure there are other ways of doing it, but it worked for me and the neck is as hard as a rock.
