Been lucky recently to have scored some nice busts and statues for cheap, so I'm going to mod the hell out of them. Just because I can and because I think there's room for improvement.
First, I'm going to rework the Grand Moff Tarkin bust into a full figure statue and will likely have to cut and re-position the arms, then sculpt the legs and paint the whole thing:
Then, seeing as I disliked the pose of the C-3PO statue, I decided to get that as well as the bust (still need to buy the bust, but waiting for a cheap one to pop up), then I hope the gold finish is similar enough to do a torso transplant, basically swap the upper torsos on both by sawing both in half in the black mid-section, swap 'em over, resculpt the ab section, paint it and that would give the statue the torso of the bust and the bust the torso of the statue (then I can always re-sell the bust with the new torso for scrap or use it as a test subject for a wild and out of control paint job)
Lastly, I acquired this Mal Reynolds bust to modify. Chose a scene from Firefly with a nice pose that sorta matches this one. This piece likely require the most work as both arms need to be re-positioned and the gun arm needs to be shortened. The jacket and shirt needs some serious rework and then the sculpting of the legs. I will try to commission a new head sculpt, once I've stripped the paint and cut off the arms as the current one looks like a 16-year-old Nathan Fillion and I need a scruffy looking nerf-herder look to him (yeah, I know... wrong series).
All in all... I've got my work cut out for me. But, it's gonna be fun to try to modify these.
