Nute Gunray by Moko
Though nearly everybody has used the head from Frankenstein’s Monster as Trade Federation Viceroy Nute Gunray’s head, everyone seems to struggle with his headdress/hat. Moko also says he struggled, but I think Nute’s pointy hat thingie turned out rather well:

And a bonus Episode I minifig — a Naboo Security Force soldier:

See all of Moko’s Star Wars minifigs in his Brickshelf gallery.

I love the Gunray fig. How do you get the security guard to hold that gun??

Jordan, I appreciate your enthusiasm and all your comments, but please read the posts instead of just looking at the pictures. As the post text says, this is by a builder named Moko, not by me (the person who wrote the post). So, like I said about Louie, I wouldn’t necessarily know.
But I do happen to know, since I’ve done this myself, so I’ll answer you anyway.
Minifig hands have a little band around the wrist that just fits into another hand. It’s a fragile connection, but it will hold long enough to take a picture like this.

I didn’t know how to edit but Dunechaser,
I knew it wasn’t you who built these but I just thought you would know how to build it. Thanks though.

Dunechaser,
I knew Moko made the figs I just thought you would know how to make it. Thanks though.

You can’t edit comments you’ve posted, but I can.
Ah, I see that you said “How do you”, not “How did you” — an important distinction that I missed. Sorry for jumping down your throat like that. (It’s been a long day.)

Its allright. Sorry about the double post. Do you think I should get the mars mission collection? I like the design of the sets and I ordered # 7699 already. what do you think?
