The cool thing about this version of Antilles is that his arms move so he can grasp at Vader's hands just like in ANH when the big guy was choking him.

Step 1

Use boil-and-pop method to remove the heads and arms from the deluxe Obi-Wan and Ponda Baba, and the helmet from the Rebel fleet trooper

Step 2

Use your X-acto knife to split open the torsos on Obi-Wan and Ponda.

Step 3

Dremel out the inside of the Rebel Fleet Trooper helmet to fit the Obi-Wan head. You can glue this on or not, and paint a chin strap or not.

Step 4

Fit the pelvis, arms, and head from the deluxe Obi-Wan into the Ponda Baba torso and glue it all together.

Step 5

Using the light brown and white paint, create a shade of light tan to match Antille's pants and shirt as seen in "A New Hope". Once that is dry paint the black stripes down the sides of his pants.

Step 6

Again using the light brown with black, create a shade of brown for the Ponda Baba vest and the arms. Paint both and make sure after you put the vest on to paint in any light spots that show up around the shoulders since there are some gaps between the vest and the arms.

 

Step 7

Flatten out some Sculpey with a pencil by rolling it like dough and use the pizza cutter to cut out a small square and a belt. Bake the pieces and paint the belt similar to the color of the belt on the figure and
paint the square a medium gray color. Put blue dots on the square for the insignia, touch up the buttons with silver.

Step 8

Glue on the belt in a hanging position, and the rank on the non pocket side of the vest. Paint the top of the vest a darker brown all the way around just like the jacket in ANH.

Step 9

Equip him with the gun from the Rebel Fleet Trooper with the end nozzle painted silver, and the rest of the gun dry brushed silver to give it a more authentic look.
