Chakaman's customs, mods and repaints

[rubio95]

I had to dremmel out the holes that the ankle and wrist pegs pop in. I did sand down/dremmel the forearms to allow the guantlets to fit better. I used the Medi neck adaptor. You can use the Medi hands, put I prefer the SSC ones.

Here he is with shorter arms...

I need to mod the jetpack now so it sits a little bit better.

Congratulations on your new little girl!

That said, you should've left Fett on the Medicom body. I don't understand your hesitation to pose him, the new Medicoms can take a beating. The broader shoulders of the TT don't fit that swapped body.

But since you decided to swap, the number one thing you need to do is re-position the shoulder armor. I've done it on all of my Medicom Fetts (1 ESB and 4 RotJ). Just rip the armor off and re-glue it farther down on the vest sleeve. You'll instantly see the difference. Also, since this thread say that you do repaints, you realize that the entire helmet needs to be repainted, right?

Keep up the good work!

Thanks Rubio. I appreciate your feedback. I really respect your opinions when it comes to Boba Fett.

I am no Fett expert at all, but I think you are right though. I havent finished him yet because I am not totally happy with the look of him. I like some parts, but not others. I may swap him back to the Medi body.

Thanks mate.

I just surfed your Youtube channel. Your 3 3/4" custom clone and astromechs are fantastic. Glad to see you are into 1/6th stuff, cant wait to see what you are going to work on next.

With that placement of Boba on your workbench, the heads on the shelves look as if they are his trophies.

I had never thought of it like that.

I need to get off my arse and get those heads some bodies and outfits.

Starting to put my Luke X-Wing together......

 

[generalgrevious]

Yeah he is just make sure you check him over good as you know about the issues some have been having. Like broke/missing tusks chest box lights half working frayed capes at the bottom. Take lots of photo`s of him once you get him

Chakaman, you are as talented as you are prolific. While there is a lot of great stuff posted on the board, your thread is on the high end of my personal top 10. I really enjoy seeing your progress and finished work!!!

Wow, thanks for the kind words. I appreciate it.

There are many peeps on here more talented than I am. I just know how to take their work and add the finishing touches. I am fortunate.

I need to get around to doing a Wookie sometime. I am watching the other thread with great interest. I need to finish a bunch of other stuff before I tackle a brand new build.

I got the exclusive Vader. I havent had a chance to play with him yet. I have just inspected everything to make sure everything was in good order. It was.

 

[generalgrevious]

that`s awesome yeah im on vacation next week so I will have fun playing with my toys. and my new marmit sandtrooper I won on ebay. I have 4 of them three are sideshow

 

[Chakaman]

I am finally getting a chance to play around with the new Vader. Pretty awesome figure straight out of the box. I will probably lower the dome on it and call it good. Much nicer than the ANH Version. Is a comparision shot of my 2 Vaders: modded ANH on left, unmodded ESB/ROTJ on the right...

ANH Vader with the spare ESB/ROTJ Vader dome attached instead of the Hasbro dome..

ESB/ROTJ Vader unmodded.....

I think I may go back to the Hasbro dome on my ANH Vader, not sure yet.

Have any of you guys done anything similar yet?

 

[generalgrevious]

yeah I put the Hasbro helmet on my ANH vader. and lowered the helmet on my empire/rotj vader.

 

[Chakaman]

Great looking Vaders GG.

Here is one I am working on to go with my other pilots. I did a Ten Nunb a few years ago, but was never really happy with him. I figured while I was working on all my pilot gear for Red group, he would be one I could fix up pretty easily. The hardest part is doing the red/white suit for him.

I am also getting ready to do some Weequay hair/dreds for an upcoming custom Duane is helping me with.
