Chakaman's customs, mods and repaints

[Chakaman]

I got Wooof's new outfit in the post today. Duane (Enaud) has been doing some sewing the past couple of months. I must say, this outfit is BRILLIANT!!! For "a beginner" this outfit is SSC quality if not better. This stuff reminds me of Vivisect's custom stuff. The vest is so well made. Pants are the perfect fabric. The skirt is spot on, leaving extra to trim to one's liking. Super stuff Duane!!

Here is a quick mockup.....

He also sent me some other outfits for future projects.

Duane, not only can you sculpt. You can sew!! Cheers man!! Thanks!!

Duane also made the tunic for this guy...fantastic.

Thanks Ed, I think I used TT knockoff narrow shoulder. I cant remember to be honest with you. In all my excitement, I just grabbed one and went to work on him. I do know they are not TT slims.

Thanks Barry. Duane told me he had been chatting with you. The stuff in the works is mind blowing. Duane is the "Oscar Robinson" of SW Customs.

I enjoy looking at the stuff in the background as much as the figure Chris is trying to show. I'm thinking if I visit Kansas seeing Chris's collection is going to be the #1 attraction for me to see! If there's a customizer Hall of Fame, Duane is an automatic member....all his stuff is First Rate, Top Quality, Off the Charts!!!

Duane is the man! If it wasnt for his talent, I wouldnt have half the stuff in my collection. His stuff is indeed "Top Quality."

If you ever venture all the way from New England down here to Kansas, hit me up. Beers are on me!!.

I started to "weather" the Weequay Skiff Master tunic Duane made for me....

before....

right now....

I am going to lighten it up some more and then apply the dirty "blaster burns" or whatever they are to the front. I am doing reverse weathering. I gave the tunic a dirty water bath, let it dry and then began applying the lighter colored areas. This way the lower areas of the tunic remain dirtier.

Looking great! You should hold a contest and let me win this



Best,

Robert

 

[Chakaman]

Thanks. It will look much better when I lighten up the tunic some more.

I also cant decide on black or brown pants. I know brown pants are accurate, but I think he looks better with black. I dunno, maybe go with very, very dark brown.

Or you'll just make two of them. One SA, one for yourself.

Now there is an idea! I will probably go with the color that reminds me of how I remember the character/scene as a kid.

Just found out that Kithaba will be recieving some new duds.

[Natedog]

Thanks Will, Nate.

Will, I hope to tackle my Jawas soon and put that rifle you made for me to good use. Im trying to find the right body for them. Also trying to sort out the hands.

Yeah, it's a nightmare. I used a XBOX halo figure 8" for my last Jawa, but the hand are sort of sucky. But after a little fake fur, they look better, but still don't hold the gun like I want. The smaller Jawa's are great with medi Jawa hands. But the Medi is too damn expensive just to use the parts.

The skiff master weathering is looking good so far…nice & grimy! Can't wait to see what other Chaka-istic touches you add
