This is my second attempt at a Twi'Lek. The original plan was for her tails to move, but after a failed attempt, I abandoned the idea. Luckily, londonroadhog had a spare female head that he kindly donated to the next attempt. I opted this time for her tails to be static, but positioned over her shoulders, but with enough room for the head to still move.

Another great dye job, Dal! Amazing to me how you get such even colour with no streaking.

Great posing! Great equipment! Nice design of the lekku (head tentacles).The orange-green combo looks fantastic! The dye work on the body is superb, possibly the best I've seen for evenness of color! The color really brings out the muscle definition in the body, too!
For your growing contingent of pilots, will you be constructing a hangar diorama? And then the ships to park in the hangar? That's how it goes - one little thing leads to multiple bigger projects!

Thank you Bri! It's the pastels my friend. The are the type that you have to scrape to a powder, then rub the powder into the bodies. It does take a long time, but it does give a nice even coating/ As for the head, I believe that is the citadel paints I use, they give such a nice even coat when applied . Hope it helps

Many thanks Dave! I was really pleased with her final result. I wanted to do green this time, as I really like Hera from Star Wars Rebels, and i wanted Seela to reflect this, but not be a direct copy. I agree about the colour, it really does enhance her muscles.
I wish I could build a huge hanger and a few star ships to live in there, but I would have to win the lottery first! lol!
