12" ANH Leia

[jedijim3002]

This is the Gentle Giant bust that we are talking about. I did a head swap with mine, changed the body for a larger bust size, and shortened the legs for a correct height.

I also did the same to my boushh figure as well.

In my opinion the sideshow heads are just too big.

I really like these head swaps. Once I unbury myself from a backload of hobby work, I need to to the same.

 

[jedijim3002]

I hear you. I was frustrated everytime I looked at it next to my other figs and just had to try the head swaps. The leia ANH bust is relatively cheap. I didn't feel bad about hacking away at it. It's like a polystone or ceramic material so you have to be real careful about drilling it.

Those are some very unhappy looking figures.

 

[jedijim3002]

Ha ha. Yes well what do you expect their faces to look like while they are battling an oppressive government with only one female in the galaxy?

That is awesome!!! It looks so much better. Amazing how much a great paint job will bring these alive. The eyes make this sculpt and paint job really come alive.

Wow, that is stunning! really nice paint apps. I agree what a difference the paint makes. Although SSC heads are still a tad to big for the bodies.

Well, here's my repaint. I always hated this sculpt until I saw the photo above. I was really impressed with it, so I decided to repaint mine and I'm so much happier with it. It's not perfect, but I like it a whole lot better.

 

[jedijim3002]

Not bad. Definite improvement.

[RyanSD]

Ummm.... what was Yoda doing under there?

Same thing I would do under there.

 

[RyanSD]

Same thing I would do under there.

Carrie Fisher now or Carrie Fisher circa '77?

Carrie Fisher now or Carrie Fisher circa '77?

Exactly. There's a BIG difference.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Repaint looks very good.

Did you get motivated by the Leia project? I've been eyeing my own too.

What is Yoda doing!?!?!?!

[Qrest Fourstar]

Circa 1977... Duh!

 

[Qrest Fourstar]

Honestly, this paint job ticks me off! It looks awesome and I was considering getting that new sculpt that looks fantastic!

Repaint or new sculpt? That is the question...
