Custom Hera Head

Arealight printed Hera Twi'lek head

Custom work by me.

 

When Arealight started producing his Twi'lek head in lime green and also printed it to look like the character Hera from the new Star Wars Rebels show I was very excited. I am not a real big fan of LEGO's twi'lek head and thought this would be a great opportunity to see if I could tweak the fig and make it look a bit better, in my opinion.

Arealight himself beat me to the punch when he posted a photo of this pilot helmet cut and placed on his Twi'lek head, but he cut the entire rear portion of the helmet off. I decided to take that idea to the next level. I cut the top of the Twi'lek head off, separated the tentacles from each other, drilled holes in the pilot helmet and then it was a lengthy game of cutting, trimming, sanding and fitting the tentacles into the holes I drilled. This is the final result! I'm very pleased with how it came out, and yes.. the goggles flip down and line up with her eyes too. Here they are side by side.. Which do you like more?
