1
Lets see, with this one I got my head in
before the body so I will start with that... on mine I basically
repainted the head from the nose down (I
didn't like how the chin was a lot lighter)
Step 2
I did some modifying to the horns. On the
custom they are light grey, like on the Don Post Studios mask, but in
the scan they came out looking really white.
Step 3
Now on to the body... boy I had fun with
this (stupid torso wouldn't come
apart...) it is a Tatooine Maul body,
because I think that the way the hands is looks 100% better than the way
the other one.
Step 4
I added articulation to the gloves using
straight pins. My Maul does come apart at the waist using magnets.
Step 5
Not hard at all, just take your Dremel
and put a big old hole in the bottom of the torso, and stuff the magnet
up there. Dremel the peg that usually fit into the torso down. (on
the legs) Cut the skirt circle on top
so the magnet can fit through and glue the second magnet there, I like
this because I wanted him to stick together, and yet come apart fairly
easily. Make sure you use
circle magnets so that his waist still twists
Step 6
Oh, and in the movie the shirt is black,
so I kept it that way. (Even though
on my Darth Maul costume I made it grey, but there just so it looked
better). Lets see, oh the
lightsaber... I cut the Tatooine Maul saber in half and painted the
bottoms black to give it the singed look. And that's how you make a
"Darn Near Ultimate" Darth Maul. And yes, I even put his
earring on! (I could add knee
joints... but with the plastic skirt I figured, why bother...)
