I bow at the feet of greatness---
I am but an insignificant worm waiting to bask in the glow that is your matin.
Aid me oh great ones...
OK, enough kissing up. I've got two SS 14" Kanamit figs (love Richard Kiel--best Bond villain------EVER... that's The Spy Who Loved Me Jaws and not weepy Moonraker Jaws) on the way and now that I've got the customizing bug (one slave Leia, and I took my second Aragorn-- non exc--- and with some TIMELINE Dragon fig armour along with other stuff I've made him look like TTT Helm's Deep Aragorn, my favorite part of the trilogy) and I'm looking to, reaching up beyond my means perhaps, customize a Chewbacca and a Darth Vader from those two Kanamits. I need help.
Speicifically, what Hasbro figs would you suggest would be the best to cannibalize? I own the Ultimate Villain Vader but I've heard that there are better older Hasbro 12" figs to use for parts. Can you point me in the right direction? Also which Chewie would you suggest I tackle--- the hairy/furry one that's floating around?
Once I've acquired the added body parts a la Mary Shelley's egocentric mad scientist what's the best way to hack them up? Suggestions for tools that I should have at the ready? Specific adhesive that you would suggest that I pick up? Lots of questions but I'd love if you could point me in the right direction... I'll document the experiment of this newbie customizer and maybe this thread could be used by others to create these two iconic SW figs.
Hope to hear from some of you soon... I'll descend back down the mountain now and leave you to sip your tea and discuss proper dremel techniques.
Thanks guys (and gals?)
