In the initial mock ups they sent to the plant in China, they used the vintage head as a filler piece. Unfortunately, the plant made the figure with the head, and it was too late to use the planned newly sculpted head. I think pride has kept us from ever getting a new head for that figure. The Club just doesn't want to own up on their mistake.

This section is for easy yet awesome kitbashes. I get the awesome part, but I don't see how it is easy. I would like to copy though. What did you have to do?

Thanks for the kind words, gents. The recipes are below...
Baze Malbus:
Chirrut Imwe:
For Baze, I cut down the armor vest so it's just a bib, basically. Then I drilled a hole in the rectangular backpack peg they used on that backpack, hot-water-treated the backpack and stuck a donor peg into that hole, and shaved a curve into the bottom half of that same rectangular peg so it mates better with the curve of his back. I will need to fill the head hole with something (hot glue, for example) so that it grips the neck ball and I have some more details to work out on the armor and stuff, but what you see here is really not a lot of modding so far. For Chirrut...I pretty much just put the pieces together. I modified nothing except that I shaved off the holster from the side of the skirt piece.

Zap these are awesome bro. Five Below currently has the Baze two pack for 5 bucks (of course) and I picked up an extra Chirrut when Target had them for like 2 bucks. Just need to find a Blind Master (or decide to sacrifice my current one). I ordered a few Imperial Scanning Crew techs to make a fully articulated Bohdi. Just need to find a K2-SO to cut up...oh and one of those elite vipers. Wouldn't you know it, that's about the only fig I didn't have from that range.

Not sure if this fits in the thread but I repainted the mobile suit Gundam master grade GM sniper from the original baby blue to a camouflage color
