Custom Tutorial 2: Modded Commando Droid

I had this commando droid that broke off of its base, and a normal one.




I never liked that pose, like its a 70's robot.  I mean really.  So I decided to....MOD IT!


Materials:


  • Hobby Knife
  • Super Glue
  • 2 GAW #7 Commando Droids (only need arm with gun)

The first step is to do an arm swap with the two figures.  Cut the broken one's left hand off and the good one(which will be used for the base)'s right hand off at the same spot.  This allows them to be glued on to each other without attracting much attention.  Keep the rest of the commando droid, you never know when it will be used (hint, hint, future tutorial).




Then glue the arm parts together.  This makes a super awesomely-looking double-blasting commando droid.




 Next cut off the right arm at the shoulder and glue it about 90 degrees higher.




Then you have your modified super-awesome commando droid.


You can play this as a normal commando droid, or paint some white spots on it (you can find reference pics here) to make it a commando droid captain.
