Description "I think people are going to love the new me."

When Adam Driver hosted Saturday Night Live, the Undercover Boss sketch in which Kylo Ren goes incognito as "Radar Technician Matt" to get a feeling for the true sentiments of his employees on Starkiller base immediately went viral. A couple of custom action figures and lots of fanart immediately went online and I've had a few friends asking if I'd try making Radar Technician Matt myself. I've gotta tell you: it's more complicated than it looks!Β 

Started with a Black Series Bespin Luke, since that costume is as janitor uniform-like as it gets. Replaced the lower legs with those from a movie Punisher. Took the head from movie Captain America, resculpting the jawline, nose and ears and sculpting on the wig. The glasses were from Louis Tully; I don't have any more of those and this pair already belonged to Dr. Harleen Quinzel, who is now running around with silly oversized pink glasses from elsewhere. The harness was also from movie Punisher and I sculpted some more pouches onto it. Used printouts for the shoulder patches and nametag. Painted it up. Now Matt is ready to make his rounds on Starkiller base! Thanks for looking and remember, after the rain comes the rainbow.

I think the real reason behind pushing back the Star Wars VIII release date was so they could write in Matt the Radar Technician XD
