Awesome work Chaka!!! wow I've missed so much. Fantastic detailing as ever on the AT-AT commander, love those tables too, you're right, the SS were too big-a real crush in the booths.

GG-spoke to Duane at length yesterday, he's good.

Me too! Nice work! Really awesome stuff, Chris.

I have no cantina dudes...but that's got to change.

Thanks guys.

Im pretty busy these days with work, home improvement projects and family. Sadly, no new SW stuff.

Im in the process of moving my hobby room/office, so all my stuff is in boxes right now. We are turning my office into a nursery for our new baby that is arriving in December. I have got my new room all cleaned up and painted and hoping to unpack everything in the next week or so. Im really looking forward to getting everything unboxed and setup.

Until then, cheers guys!

Congratulations on the new baby! Moving my old office to make room for a nursery is exactly how/why I started this new space last year as well - coincidentally baby also arrived in December!

Thanks guys. I really appreciate it. I also want to thank those that PMd me. Awesome group on here.

I was able to start unboxing my stuff and begin setting up last night. Loads of bits and accessories to go through. Here is where I am at right now....

I am still trying to figure out where all my framed comics and comic art are going to go as well as all my vintage stuff, but thats the fun part.

This is going to be really nice when I am finished. I am actually going to have a lot more work space, so all this work will be worth it.

Nice character factory.

 

[Chakaman]

Thanks CLP, Steven.

While unpacking all my bits I stumbled across my bandoliers and ammo pouches. I recently picked up those really nice Jawa robes from MYC and figured I would see what various bandoliers/ammo belts would look like on them.

For those of you that are doing custom Jawas, what are you using for ammo pouches etc??? I like these, but not sure if they are the right scale. maybe a tad too big???

Im a ways off from doing a Jawa or two, but couldnt resist doing a quick mockup while I had the time. Curious to get your guys' feedback. Cheers.

I haven't had time to work on mine either and there is ant as much good ammo belts around as one would think.

I dont think yours looks out of scale either looks good

I was researching too. Seems they used various sizes in the movie as well. One of those really large ones, hanging at a vertical angle, and a bunch of smaller ones, on the guy with the ion blaster.

I made my own, but they look sort of junk. (Hawaiian pidgin expression).

I'm working on a custom body for mine.

 

[Pixelpiper]

Can anyone put up a photo showing the relative size of the custom Jawa robes versus the Hasbro variety? I'm hoping they're longer at the bottom and sleeves, to allow for some height variation between figures. I'd really like to make a couple of Jawas a little bigger than the Hasbro version.

Oh wait, this is Chaka's thread. Feel free to post into the Jawa robe thread instead, I'll find it.

everything you have there is exactly what I'm using.

I can just say say with out posting pic the robes are big enough to allow u to modify them shorter. I want mine to be of diffrent heights also and the robes are perfect for that.

If im not mistaken myc designed them a bit bigger for this reason.

 

[Chakaman]

Yes, the robes are long enough to allow some height variations. Sorry, I dont have the Hasbro version or I would post some pictures Pixlepiper.


Bandoliers look huge in this pic. I kinda like how they look....

Thanks for input guys, I welcome more.

 

[Chakaman]

Just doing some mock up bandoliers. Just playing around, nothing finished....

 

[Chakaman]

Shot with my Tusken to show the size I think I am going to go for....
