We got the idea for this project from an artist on the RebelScum.com forums. It's a simple kitbash and repaint of the new Vintage Collection Princess Leia and the Legacy Collection Medical Frigate Princess Leia. I took the fabric dress from the Legacy Collection Leia and fitted it to the waist of the Vintage Collection one. Using a sharp X-Acto, I separated the belt from the dress of the Vintage Collection Leia and fitted it. after the figure was built out, I found myself dissatisfied with the factory paint job on the face. I repainted it to bring Carrie Fisher's likeness out of the sculpt, and now that it's done, I'm so happy I took the time to do it. I hoped to bring out the magic of the character we all felt the first time we saw our beloved princess on the silver screens.
