Nathaniel Ambrai
To go along with the back story of Jedi
Michelangelo Reklaw, I have decided to make his best friend and
counterpart, Jedi Nathaniel Ambrai.
Parts:
Han Solo [head]; Naboo Obi-wan Kenobi [cloak, arms]; Jedi Duel Obi-wan [torso,
pelvis, legs, skirt], Any lightsaber
Recipe:
This custom was easier then I thought it would be. I pretty much
started out by assembling all the parts using the boil-and-pop
method. However, I had to sand down the shoulders because that stuck
out like a Zoot Suit, and the arms couldn't move...very similar to my
Ganner figure. After that, it was
just painting the tunics and tabards Quaker Gray His undershirt,
pants and sash are black. Then, I painted his robe navy blue. I gave
Nathan a darker brown for his hair and added a goatee of the same
color. To top it off, I added some Quaker Gray to him belt buckle,
just so it would show up. His
lightsaber is pretty easy. Take any saber you want to use, sand down
the blade so as to hold paint, then paint it the same navy blue as the
robe. I layered on the paint a good deal, to give the saber more of
a molten light look then a glowing rod. I used a Ben Kenobi saber, just
cause it fit the character better. Then I decorated the hilt some,
to make it less normal.
