Chakaman's customs, mods and repaints

[Chakaman]

what did you do to make the outfit out of as I want a yak face. and what body did you use

Normal 1/6th body. He has a long neck which makes him taller. I am still sorting out the outfit.

Looks as if the cat is out of the bag Chris

It was the GG bust, not the jumbo figure.

I am trying to make an effort to "finish" some customs before I start a new one. I have lots of things I want to do in the future, but need to clean up and put the finishing touches on about 6-7 characters first. You guys have seen some of these before, but wanted to upgrade them and fix some things I wasnt happy with the first time I finished them.

Kithaba. I put him on a new body, repainted hands, new bandolier and touched up the paintwork.





Next up Queequeg.

Looks awesome, dude! I know the feeling about needing to finish some figures. I think I've got about 5 going myself.

 

[Chakaman]

Cheers Tyler. You crank yours out faster than I do, you will be caught up in a week.

Repainting Queequeg's head and redoing/upgrading braids. I already did the body swap, outfit is ready so once paintwork done he should be good to go.

Damn Chris! That is a really nice paintjob on the Weequay.

 

[Spudtrooper]

I second that. He looks amazing.

Yeah I just need to find the motivation to work on mine. haha

Thanks guys.

Yea, man great paint job. I've said it before but I do like seeing what you have cooking in the background.

 

[Chakaman]

Thanks Jason. There is will always be something going on in the background hopefully.

Finished Queequeg's braids....

I have pretty much got Yak Face painted up. I am starting the process of adding fur to the sculpt...



Pain in the arse to do, but the end results will be well worth it.

I thought the mini bust had fur already

Yak looks great! Is he slightly too small? I tried this with the Ree Yees GG mini-bust and got it in hand and it was too small. A few other GG busts I've seen were also more 1/7 than 1/6. Also, I hope you got a good deal on Yak - that one seemed to be an expensive one.

I actually thought about using the GG jumbo Yak figure if I could get it cheap enough. It's actually not a bad sculpt for a 1/6 figure - it may be slightly oversized though.

It will be great if GG gets to the Kenner POTF and ROTJ creatures as by the end, Kenner was actually getting pretty accurate. If they do a jumbo Kenner Amanaman, it will be a perfect 1/6 figure with a repaint.

This was a cast. I had to totally paint it from scratch.

Thanks man. He might be small, but really hard to tell. He is such an oddly sized character. I have used the Bossk and Ackbar busts, I think they are 1/6th. The GG busts are hit and miss when it comes to true 1/6th scale.

Yes, I think the GG busts could possibly work. I thought of using the Snaggletooth for a custom.

Queequeg is coming along.......

That looks awesome! I have this on my desk to do as well. I bought a bunch of black, brown and blonde doll hair thinking I'd braid it (if I can figure that out.) Is that what you used or did you go with a wool type material?
