        BTW the Han in stromtrooper amor isn't so easy to do, I made a poor one years ago and I know that when you cut the helmet to place a Han head that leave a big hole in the torso but your is perfect.

        "Bravo"
        I think he took a removable helmet Stormtrooper Luke and popped the head off and popped on a small Han head.

          Yeah. I cut the neck stem off and drilled a hole into a small Han Solo head and stuck it onto a Stormtrooper Luke. It took five minutes. Surprisingly, the helmet fits over the top of the Han head.

            Those are really cool.
            You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

              When you realize how simple those look to pull off,you have to wonder why Kenner couldn't have done it. You did good.

                Of course, I should have realise that
                but when I made mine (in the early 90's) I didn't want to damage a rare and expensive figure that's why I had to use a regular stormtrooper figure.

                  Here's a couple more customs I worked on last Spring and forgot to post.

                  Ceremonial Princess Leia - Yavin Ceremony (heavily modified Bespin Leia torso, head and arms; cut down Sand People legs (skirt); sculpted bracelet, necklace and belt)

                    Those look great. They look like they were pulled from the card.

                            Those look really cool, I wonder if people would buy figures designed in the kenner way by hasbro on vintage styled cards, Id certainly be a sucker. Certainly a interesting idea to put forward to them.
