| Step 1 The legs of the figure are from the Rebel Fleet Trooper. They
are modified by forming the boots from Fimo clay. Part of the holster is made from
Sculpey also and the holster trap was wrapped around the thigh. Cut the pouch off of
the left leg of the RFT.
Step 2
The pelvis is from Luke Coruscant. The crotch area
was filed smooth.
Step 3
The top of the arms and the forearms are from Boba Fett.
The elbows that were added were from the RFT mainly to ad length to the arms.
Step 4
Build the shoulders up with Sculpey to get an armored look.
Step 5
The torso is a heavily modified from a Luke Coruscant
figure. The stomach was smoothed off and the lower back and then filled in with Fimo
to get a draping cloth appearance.
Step 6
The head is from a Han Solo figure. A scar was added
to the face to give a closer resemblance to Kir Kanos. The scar was cut into the
left side and the nose, chin, and cheekbones were filed down to make the head look
different.
Step 7
Small rubber bands were used to get the ringed effect
around the neck, painted black of course.
Step 8
Hollow out the Emperor's Royal Guard's helmet, but be very
careful. This is a harder plastic and is more difficult to drill. Repeated
boiling is suggested to loosen up the plastic so you may work more easily.
Step 9
The cape is an Emperor's Royal Guard cape that has been cut
in half. Some trimming around the neck was made to get a little better fit.
Step 10
The staff was made out of two different parts. The
middle was made out of Captain Piett's rod, pieces of the Coruscant staves were built on
next, and the blades are modified from an old Dinosaur Transformer.
Step 11
Gloss paint is suggested for the shoulders, wrist, and
chest. Flat paints can be used for rest.
Step 12
A pencil was used to achieve a 5 o'clock shadow on his
face, but use whatever method works best for you.
