Luke X-Wing
Recipe and picture by Jason Weatherly
The body is Biggs; the head is ceremonial Luke; the helmet is from Porkins. I boiled and popped the heads, and trimmed down the neck of Ceremonial Luke to look right, then glued it in place. I painted the straps on the body white and the cylinders on the arms silver. I then painted the helmet white and added the detail stripes using a tooth pick. The insignias are from Erikstormtrooper's Logo Sticker Sheet for Figures. I glued them to the helmet and then gave the helmet a wash in thinned out light brown and dry brushed some silver to give it some wear and tear. I finished the helmet off with dull coat. Note two things about this custom, (1) I did not paint the microphone or chin strap, and (2) if I were to do this custom again I would not paint the straps on the body white; painting them took away some of the detail of the sculpt.
