Chakaman's customs, mods and repaints

[Chakaman]

I didn't want to take up any more of Nate's thread, so I am posting this in my thread.

Nate brought up in his thread that he watched a video that I did a few years ago about my Sandtrooper customs. I had a few people PM me wondering if I would do some more videos of my customs, etc.

So, I did a test video of my shelves to see what kind of quality it would be. Nothing was planned or anything, I just shot the video. Anyways, here it is.



I need to practice at this "video thing" a little more by the looks of this one.

Thanks guys. If I do more videos, they will be better.

Thanks man. I have 3 more sections below my Dewback, Jabba and Cantina sections. I'm good to.go for a while. They are empty at the moment because I have two small kids that like playing with my "dollies".

[Chakaman]

Thanks man.

I do look forward to doing a proper video with all the lights on, everything in place and all the figures I am cleaning/working on back on my shelves.

Holy heck Chaka! Amazing collection and a great video! Very awesome! Something to strive for indeed!

Love the video, just one thing it needs is some Star Wars music playing while you watch.

 

[Cavlcade]

Love your custom Dengar. That headsculpt was just perfect.

 

[Chakaman]

Thanks guys. I appreciate it.

Yes, music needs to be added.

I decided to order one of those custom Jedi Luke heads off of ebay that everyone here was getting. The pics that Nate and some of the others posted sold me on it. It looks really nice, can't beat the price either.

Looking forward to finishing this figure.....

Didn't want to wait for that $250+ version from HT.......I'm shocked.

Nah, I think I will pass.

HT hasn't really blown me away yet with any of their offerings. Han and Chewie are off and need tweaks. Stormtroopers are nice. I have high hopes for the ANH Obi-Wan though.

Agree with all you said here. SS ANH Obi-Wan was long gone before I started to collect so I hope HT can pull him off better than their first Han effort. As a matter of fact I think the SS Hoth Han is much better than the HT effort so far.

I was thinking about getting one myself, please post pic and tell us what you think about it.

I agree. I am looking forward to having him and Hoth Luke. They look great.

I will. It looks like I won't have it in hand for a few weeks though.

Mine got to me pretty fast. They estimated like a January delivery date and it came in in like two weeks.

Thats good to hear. Mine had an estimated delivery of late January- early February.

What is your take on it Tyler? It looks nice from what I have seen.

I always see that with 1/6 parts I get off ebay from Chinese sellers. They'll say it will arrive in a month and I always get it in 2 weeks. I think if it takes longer it's because of shipping or customs problems that are out of their control so they just quote the longer time to cut down on shipping time complaints.
