Bantha- pilot

I figured that since flickr loved my new pilot for the jet I should post him here too!



~Enjoy!

You have a real talent for figures. Your parts useage is always awesome, and I think your being purist too, which just says so much tow2ards your ability. While Modders have the incredible gift of painting and drawing on things, you have the gift of thinking up new awesome uses! Great job!

I agree with Zeph. Every time I see one of your figs, it makes me want to fully convert to purism.

Awesome! And if you take the gun off he's purist.

Oh c'mon Bantha, do you really have to post your creations in 3 different places!!?

Purism is win.

Good job, my friend.

That pilot is awesome, the parts use is simply great! And is that a brickarms flamethrower? I didn't think they released those yet.

Look around his Flickr CC, he has tons of BA stuff (unreleased) that he got from an "unknown source".

That's awesomely amazing! Really great work here Bantha!

Great job Bantha! I love the use of the arm and the colors all go very well.

No. As he is he's purist. If you take the gun off, he's EXTREME purist, like Revo.

I love the helmet! How do you make it?

You mean the RR helmet?

I guess. The pilot's helmet.

It's an official lego piece from a few older sets. There is blue ones in the power miners sets.

I mean the breather thingy over his mouth. I guess I wasn't clear enough.

Rock raiders had 'em in brown. Rr's were always so much more awesome than PM's.

Back on topic, this is an amazing technique, and I love the use of the Obi-Wan torso.

The breath mask is just too awesome. I love it!

That's what I wanna know how to make! But I guess I'm not making myself clear enough.

You did a few posts up and I just forgot to reply. It's a little complicated to make...

It looks kinda simple, my only questions are, how many rubber bands do you need, and how stable is it?

Two rubber bands and it's very stable. I won't be able post pictures at the moment, but I can explain in my best detail!

Ok. Can you please do that?

What you'll need: 2 black rubber bands, a small tread and a bley hand.

With your constructed fig consisting of at least the head, arms and legs take a rubber band, place it behind the back of the minifigs neck and pull it down in between the legs and stretch it back to the front of the neck. On the torso, there should be a "V" like shape on both sides. After that lift up each end of the "V" shaped rubber band on the front and place under it the tread. Lay the fig on it's back and put the round part of the hand directly over the mouth and the rest of the hand should be in between the gap of the tread. Take your remaining rubber band and put it under the circular part of the hand (Make sure the second rubber band is on top) And then pull it back twist it once so you have a circle and pull it back around the head.

That's about it!
