How's this for dedication? Here I am at a New Years get together, and I'm on the bedroom PC, taking a quick peek at the forum!

I really like this one, Phruby. It's a good use of parts, especially the Naboo Pilot Padme arms. The paintjob came out really cool as well; I'm adding this to my "to do" list.

Oh well, back to New Years revelry.

Ok, I'm alive and well now.   8)

Looks pretty good Phruby.  Got a pic of the cover?  Might be cool to compare it to that reference picture.

It might just be me, but the blue looks a bit shiny.  Not that it takes away from the figure though.  What I'd try is a bit of a blue-black drybrush on that part.

I like the use of parts too - it makes her look like an entirely new figure.  Good choice of the arms too.  Is she wearing a vest?

 :P

Thanks guys for the comments. She does shine a little because she was finished pretty late at night. I havn't applied the dull cote to the figure. The outfit she is wearing is actually purple. It just didn't photograph very well. I'll have to take another picture after a few layers of dull cote is applied.

Phruby,

Awsome Update.

That Anthony Daniels In C-3PO Costume is Amazing. Is Glassman Still Making Cast of this Head?

I love how the Jacket came out on your Leia. But  I think their are Better Head Sculpts out now that you could have used. Can you post the Recipe please?

Great Stuff, Keep it Commin!

Great job Phruby!  I commented more over at theJawa.com, but do you have a comparo pic to another Leia figure (like the new Boushh)?  This Leia looks to be a proper scale judging by the size of the weapons, but it's hard to tell.  Nice work!
The scariest thing that I've ever seen,
Is the terrible AT-AT walking machine.
It's as big as a house on walking legs,
and whatever it steps on it crushes like eggs.

Thanks guys. I made her in order to get rid of some left over body parts. She is made up of potf2 Ewok Leia head, potf2 hoth leia body, saga Padme pilot arms and potj death star escape han solo jacket. She is to scale as far as the hoth leia body is. I just added the yellow strip on the side of her legs. I didn't use masking tape on the yellow strip because of the wrinkles in the pant legs. Her outfit is purple but the flash seems to make it look more bluish. She is based on the below reference picture. Refreash your browser to see the changes.

I didn't have a Leia head that had pony tail so I went with the straight hair instead. I also couldn't find my ribbon from my gi joe jinks. If I had those two things it would have been a lot closer to the reference. The point of the project however was not to buy new parts but use what I have on hand. I will be doing a lot more figures done in the "Chewie-style" of mixing and matching body parts just to reduce fodder. I have three huge bags of body parts to get rid of this year.   :o

I see it is a purple coloring to it, I just consider it to be kind of blue too.  Thanks for the reference pic Phruby, I might try this figure later too.  Do you know who that other chick is with the eye tatoos?

I have no idea. I don't even have the comic book. It just looked like an interesting custom figure.

I've never seen that comic either.
That does look like a cool figure to make.

I've been wanting to da a NJO leia... Maybe i might steal your idea paul.

Nice use of parts here, I would scalp her and sculpt the ponytail.

Cool stuff Phruby.

great use of parts Phruby, never seen that Leia before.

did you paint the Corellian blood stripes on the sides of her pants? just curious, b/c i think that's a cool touch on the comic cover.

the only thing i would add would be a holster on her leg. the color of her jumpsuit looks great, the paint apps is my favorite thing about this figure along with the legs you swapped on.

thanks Rip. I updated my picture with the additional yellow stripes. I named the file the same so your browser might not see the difference. Pressing the refreash button should show the new picture. A holster would be a good addition. I added the band that holds the holster but wasn't sure how to graft in the holster itself.
