Guri has to be my absolute favorite Expanded Universe character in the Star Wars Universe. I love the whole Human Replica Droid (can you say "Replicant" i.e. Blade Runner) thing. This is actually my 2nd version of Guri. The first was never photographed. |

Guri is made from a slave Leia and ewok celebration Leia (PLC). I used the slave Leia head. I cut off the back of it, and glued on the hair from the ewok Leia, using sculpey to blend it in. I trimmed the length of the hair to just longer than shoulder length, then painted her hair blonde.
I added sculpey to her breast to giver her fuller - i.e. bigger - breast (as in the comics, cards, etc.). I added sculpey to make her gloves and glued pieces of rubber bands on the upper arms. I also used sculpey on her boots to make them look plainer. I then painted her similar to the color scheme in the comics; this was so I would not have to paint the skirt.
This is my third (final?) version of Guri. I simply took the second version and change some things. First I swapped the heads. I used the head from a Slave Leia, cut the back of the head off and glued on the hair from the Ewok Leia (PLC). Then I blended the pieces with Sculpey and painted the hair yellow, with a wash of light brown. Next, I added some Sculpey between her breast to give her more of a "Lara Croft stretched shirt" look. Next I cut off the Slave Leia boots and glued on the boots from an old Volga the Witch figure from Voltron. I used a piece of a rubber band to make the tops of the boots to hide the line wear the boots are glued to the legs. Then I painted the boots grey. I also changed up the hands. I scraped off the Sculpey, that formed the gloves and repainted the arms and gloves. |
