Star Wars Custom Of The Week: TCW "Siege Of Mandalore" Ahsoka Tano By Elias

[Bespin refugee]

This week's custom is 3.75" Ahsoka Tano from The Clone Wars - Season 7: "Siege Of Mandalore" by Elias

"To give Ahsoka her older appearance as depicted in the new season, I used ProCreate sculpting putty to extend the Montrals on the top of her head. I also added to her shorter Lekku and re-sculpted them to look longer than they they were previously to make her appear older. To articulate her elbows, I cut them away, then drilled into the upper arm and forearm to accommodate the elbow joint from the 3.75" Black Series Ahsoka Tano. I also used the legs of that same Ahsoka because they already articulated. I sanded them down so they would appear thinner, and more Clone Wars-esque. Using a Dremel, I then sanded the rest of the boot below her knees. The armor on her forearms, hips, legs and back were then handsculpted back in. Her head band was also sculpted by hand. I removed the tabbard of the Rebels Ahsoka Tano and completely re-sculpted her entire skirt. Her Mandalorian skirt top was completely different from the Rebels Ahsoka Tano, and required heavy reconstruction as well. Her lightsabers, however, were more of a simple task. I removed the green blades, then selected two blue ones, one longer than the other, and sanded both ends so that the super glue would form a stronger bond between the hilt and the blade. Once her build was completed, I went in with Reaper acrylic paints and painted everything to match reference photos. After I finished her, I couldn't wait to get started on one for myself!"
