Its not a typo folks. I have a DV DA Term Lib. Heres what happened.

Bought the DV set when it came out. Took it home and smelled all the good smells that come with a new kit. WHAT!! Like you dont smell the insides??? Well the Term Sarg had a busted sword:

Dont know how many fallen scum or xeno one can kill with a almost busted sword so it has to go.

Image
Step, one clippers. No I did not use saftey glasses.
Image
Step 2,3 and 4 were increasing larger drill bits to open a hole in the hand where the sword was.

NO PICTURE-NOT ENOUGH HANDS
Step 5 was using a dremel on a Force Weapon that was in my bits box.
Image
BOOM!! Lib in Term armour from the DV set. My only problem is that I dremeled of a little too much on the force staff and I lost a little of the 'grip tape' look to it. Oh well. It was my first model work in a long time so I wont complain. I also need to make a force hood. Ideas on that??

I've seen shoulder pad conversions into a FHood.
Essentially, the bottom "straight" edge of the pad rests on the neck area and you trim the rest into the correct shape, since it's already got the rounded edges you need.

At least, I believe that was it. It might be the other way around (been a while since I saw it), and you put the flat part of the pad that faces the body on his neck, and trim it the other way.

Decent conversion, though. I'd bet you could paint in the lines, where necessary.

I am very sad to state that I build more than I paint.

thanks for the comp.
