Chakaman's customs, mods and repaints

[Chakaman]

I also did some work on Klaatu(Yotts Orren) headgear....

Going to get the basic pattern and then go back and add the details such as the studs and chinstrap.

 

[Chakaman]

Im gonna put some of my random bits lying about and do a Weequay guard for my Jabba setup....

Thanks. No, its a "Dragon Albert Brown" bandolier that I modded. I removed the studs, inside stuffing, re-attached the flaps and added my own studs. I still need to paint and weather them. I am in the process of doing a bunch of them. They work great for Tuskens, Jawas and Jabba's guards.

Not at the moment. I actually have plans for the ones that I do have. They are also kind of hard to find. There is a seller on ebay in the UK that has some available. They are the same ones I picked up and modded.

 

[Chakaman]

It doesnt look like much now, but here is the start of Weequay's dreads.....

It will look something like this when done. I am doing to add some more to this guy too.

[Solo_bones]

Yeah, he does look great, man. Well done! As usual.

 

[Chakaman]

Thanks guys.

GG, the bandoliers are pretty easy to mod. The hard part is finding them. I wish I had the time to build/mod stuff for peeps, I really enjoy this stuff.

GG, go to ebay, type in Dragon IN Dreams 1:6 WWI British Tommy Albert Brown Bandolier. There are 9 available!

 

[generalgrevious]

[Weezer]

No problem... Good luck!

I asked if they would ship to Hawaii, but no response yet. I tried to order yesterday but was denied.

 

[Chakaman]

Yeah, those are them. I picked mine up from a U.S. seller. I would imagine if you inquired about them they would work with you and ship to you.

I have been pretty busy this weekend, but was able to do some work on my Weequay guard braids. Frayed the ends with a razor blade and gave them a quick base coat.

Will do some more fraying and painting on them, but this shows you how they are going to look.

Thanks. Its just a ball of string, Im not sure how else to describe it. Its not sewing thread or yarn. You can see what it looks like from my pics above. I got it at Hobby Lobby.
