MIELA

twi'lek diplomat


(episode 1)
Miela, twi'lek diplomat, Star Wars OOAK Barbie doll


Description Three-part costume for regular 12" Barbie.

Miela is an assistant of the disgusting twi'lek senator Orn Free Taa of  planet Ryloth. Twi'lek women are known for their beauty and grace, but only a few of them reach important position - as Jedi Aayla Secura or Miela. One of rare images of Miela.

Ladies on Force.net recently had discussed about making of twi'lek dolls, and when I obtained a Barbie with a "permanent makeup", which I was not able to clean, I decided to make one twi'lek doll too.

The whole hard plastic body and the head tails (which were sculpted from Milliput on wire skeletons) were painted red with matt enamel for plastic models by Revell and sealed with matt varnish by Humbrol. The face was painted with acrylic colours and sealed wit matt acrylic varnish. (Well, matt - then why the face on the pictures glistens like dog's eyes?)

  • The sleeveless dress has godet insets from the hips, closed on the back with hooks and eyes, and it is lined only to hips. The five-part collar connects with the dress a beaded necklace on the front, the back parts of the collar are stitched directly to the dress

  • The black lined cloak is of 3/4 ecliptic shape and attachs to the dress on shoulders with little snaps.

  • Under the dress is the black blouse with long (ehm...), narrow sleeves and red lining. It fastens back with snaps.

  • The outfit complement crocheted the "Mary-Jane" shoes with the leather soles, the grey tights and  the white leather headband with the badge (sculpted from two-part epoxy putty by Tamyia and then painted with a metallic enamel).
Used materials
  • For the dress and the cloak I  used a heavy grey-blue silk  brocade, the lining of the dress is from a dark grey, the lining of the cloak is from a black habotai.
  • The blouse is made from a sheer black polyester fabric, the lining is from a blood red silk crepe-satin.
