Another K-2SO...big one


Recommended Posts

Here's a build I'm doing of K-2SO

I'm using a Jakks Pacific Big Fig and adding parts to make it better, giving it a better paint job and changing the pose.

 

After a lot of sanding and filing of the seams I gave it a coat of primer. Then I got busy with the lathe and machined some aluminium rod down to replace the hinges and joints.

The first picture shows the replacement joints I made and then there's a couple of pictures of the old joints cut off and replaced with the new ones.

I've now cut his fingers off. As I want him to be holding an Imperial grenade I'll have to cut the joints of the fingers and curl them around it.

The legs are also do which means at least it's standing again now ( and in a more natural pose I think )

More work done.

Had to cut and re-glue nearly all the finger joints.

Also built a grenade. I didn't do the one that appears in the film because it be too small for his hand and I didn't like the look of it anyway.

Here's some work done on the head.

I wanted to change the mouth area a bit as the detail wasn't crisp enough for me as in photo 1.

I wanted to make the head removable so I cut off the screw posts at just the right height and glued some magnets on the ends, as in this picture.

While looking in the spares boxes for some suitable eye replacements (as the ones on here we just stickers.)

I found these lenses I'd kept from some old kit.

As they fitted nicely in the sockets I thought I'd give them a go.

I reckon with a bit of lighting in the right place they'd be just right.
