Chakaman's customs, mods and repaints

[Son Of Dengar]

I dream of a workspace like this! I love the devotion to figure modding! By the way... is that a Yak Face on your shelf?! What the?

Love the Gotal I'll have to order some from Enaud. I love your workspace and have picked up some of the same storage bins as they are pretty cool.

 

[Chakaman]

Thanks Menlo, Dengar. All I can say is that I have a very understanding wife. Its nice to have a space to relax in and work on stuff that you enjoy. Here is an update of the top shelf, still loads to setup.....

Thanks mate. Yes, these bins are great. Here is a closeup of them if anyone else is curious, they just tip out.

Very cool, Chris. I'm seeing that the Endor Rebel helmet you have there is just making everything look a bit clustered. You'd better let me have it so as to free up some space for you.

I wish I had a spare Tyler. I plan on using that for a Luke Endor. Sorry man.

"Put up with" is a good way of putting it. it's nice and neat now, but hopefully I can mess it up and start cranking stuff out soon.

This looks incredible, thanks for sharing the link. I may have to pick this up.

I decided to mod my ANH Vader some more. I am pretty much starting over. I have been motivated to revisit this guy from the pictures in the Vader thread, some pretty cool tutorials over there.

Here he is next to the ESB/ROTJ Vader.....

Should be a fun project.

Wow chris that top shelf looks.........well top shelf.......
bins look awesome too if only for storing but have a neat display vibe to them as well.

and vader...........yea I guess he could be tweaked from now on. Been wanting to revist my first one a bit too............mainly making a widows peak to the hasbro dome and maybe taking a couple rings off the gauntlets.

 

[Chakaman]

Thanks Barry, I appreciate it. Good to hear from you, its been a while.

Im doing the same mods you mentioned above. Here is my first attempt of doing a widows peak on the Hasbro dome. I may do a bit more sanding, but so far I am pleased with it.

 

[menlojames]

he looks fantastic nice work!!!

 

[Chakaman]

he looks fantastic nice work!!!

Thanks man.

 

[Weezer]

ANH Vader's looking really nice. Lando is looking great!

 

[Chakaman]

Thanks man. Lando is next on my list.

 

[agonistes86]

Very nice work on the Vader so far, the helmet and dome look great.

Also, what modifications, if any, did you do to your ESB/ROTJ Vader here on the right? I really like the proportions on him.

 

[Chakaman]

Thanks man.

I actually havent done any mods to the ESB Vader yet. I plan on futzing the outfit and possible adjusting the dome a tad. Im not sure yet.

 

[Chakaman]

I got my ANH Vader finished and while I am trying to sort some ideas in my head regarding my Skiff Lando, I thought I would start working on the Nikto gunner Nysad. I did one of these a few years ago, but wasnt totally happy with it. A couple of months ago Duane sculpted a helmet for this guy which motivated me to revisit him.

So here we go......

Eventually I want to have the "Kenner" Nikto, Nysad, Vedian and Vizam all done. I have the "Kenner" Nikto done and most of Vedain ready to go. Just Nysad and Vizam to go.

 

[Natedog]

Nice Chris! I have both those on my to do list as well. I may actually need your help with some of the clothing. I'll hit you up when the time comes

Great work mate they look awesome. Love the Gotal head in the background as well. I picked up 2 from Duane.
