Custom LEGO Rogue One: Chirrut Îmwe, Baze Malbus, & Bodhi Rook
Here's my last bunch of figures for the release of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.
Chirrut Îmwe
"I'm one with the Force; the Force is with me."
Chirrut was surprisingly simple to make. His waist cape is made out of two layers of cloth - one red, one black. On his torso, I painted one half of it a matte black color and left the other half the standard LEGO color since he was wearing two layers of clothes in the movie. The strap/belt was made out of one strip of e-tape and wraps around his entire body, and also has a cloth cape hanging from it on the back. On the front of the strap, I included a few separate pieces of e-tape to show the grooves in the strap.
His left arm has a bit of sculpting on it. He has that Warlock Bond type thing wrapping around his bicep, and a gauntlet wrapping around his wrist. I also sculpted on the piece of armor on his hand.
He's armed with a staff, one that I should really update.
Baze Malbus
"How many do we need?"
Baze was pretty fun to make since he had a bunch of sculpted parts on him. Starting off with the legs, I sculpted on the knee pad and the thigh armor. On the torso, I sculpted on the huge chest piece that wraps around his neck and goes onto the back. Below that are the ammo packs(?) and some other gadget. On his wrists I sculpted on the ends of his suit. On his right shoulder I added on his shoulder armor piece.
As for cloth, I made a cloth belt and a little cloak on his back.
Speaking of the back, I had to make his ammo canister too. I used a 1x1 round cylinder piece and sculpted on it to give it the right shape, and I added the handle and ring pieces that extend off it. This also allowed me to stuff his ammo belt inside of the canister and get some movement out of it.
The gun was made from a BrickArms Afterburner. I mainly used it as a base and sculpted on the rest of it, slapped a scope on, and made the belt from e-tape and a rubber band (thanks to Dylan for suggesting this).
The head is the standard LEGO head and I modded the Thorin hair which works pretty well.
Bodhi Rook
"It's Rogue. Rogue One."
Bodhi is probably my least favorite out of all these figures, but he wasn't too complicated to make. The main thing I want to talk about is the torso.
For the torso, I crafted a vest out of a CM overcoat. All of the pockets are separate, folded over pieces of cloth glued on. On his arms are additional cargo pockets and the Imperial symbol painted on.
His head is the standard LEGO head, and the hair piece has some goggles glued on with a piece of cloth as a strap.
He's armed with a DH-17.
So what do you guys think? I'd love to hear your thoughts! I'm debating on making more Rogue One figures, and if I were to, I have Tarkin, Saw, Galen, and a Death Trooper in mind but I'm not sure if I'll go through with these so let me know if you'd be interested in seeing them!
Thanks all :)
