Keiran Halycon
I got this idea while I was
reading through the Michael A. Stackpole novel I, Jedi. It is
an awesome story about an X-wing pilot who undergoes Jedi training on
Yavin 4 with Master Luke Skywalker.
Parts:
Jedi Knight Luke Skywalker [body, arms, legs]; Dash Rendar [head];
Non-Mail-Away Mace Windu [Cloak]; Darth Vader saber.
Recipe:
This was, I think, one of my best early customs. I think this was
the second one I made. I used Dash's head because the book said
Keiran had a beard and mustache going, and he died it blonde. Back
when I made this, Qui-Gon's head wasn't an option, and I couldn't sculpt
for the life of me. All I really did was swap out heads, and
re-paint his robes as shown above. I chose Vader's saber because the
book said he built his saber from a bike-grip and like a muffler pipe or
something. He also said it was kinda ugly, and IMO that sculpt of
Vader's saber fits that description rather well. After I painted it a dark brown, and changed the blade from red
to silver, the weapon truly fit the part. In the book, Keiran also
wore a black over-robe. I didn't have the parts to make another
figure so he could have a black cloak, so I used Mace's pull-over robe
thingy. I think it looks pretty good.
