Chakaman's customs, mods and repaints

[TaliBane]

Love the Gamorreans! What color did you use on the snout? Even in the movie it's hard to say if it's more like a light tan or a pinker flesh color.

Thanks.

No one color, I.just mixed some colors together until i got the look I wanted. They are actually a bit more pinkish in person.

Im.not sure what Sideshow was thinking making the snouts brown.

I am trying to sort out outfits etc. I have been digging through all my parts trying to find what I need to go with Duane's amazing skiff guard outfits.

Next one I am working on is Taym Dren-garen.



Here he is with the other Skiff guards I am currently sourcing parts for, upgrading or putting the finishing touches on......

So much epicness.

Does Duane make that checkered/quilted Weequay tunic in the background? I'm really trying to find a way to make him, but that pattern is hard to do.

Thanks Tyler.

Why yes, yes he does.

I heavily weathered mine and used a ink pen to simulate the tighter stitches Duane couldn't do. Its a great tunic.

Nikto hands are HT Scar Predator hands.

Weequay hands are SSC Bith Cantina band member hands.

I made the light blue Nikto tunic from scratch. However, I will be upgrading it in the future.

Hey Chris looking good. Where do you source your belt buckles?

[Chakaman]

Thanks Jason.

Thanks man.


Which ones? Nysad's are from the Hasbro X-Wing pilots. Lopie hooked me up with Lando's. I think he got the rings at Hobby Lobby.

If those weren't the ones you were talking about, let me know.

Yeah I was wondering about Nysad. I have a bunch of buckles from Rio Rondo. Some 1/8 and 3/16" I think. Even the 3/16" is too small I think. How wide are his belts do you think?

Sorry for not getting back with you sooner, busy day.

They are pretty much standard 1/6th scale belt size. I cut the leather to fit the buckles I had which were the Hasbro X-Wing pilot buckles. So those are probably 3/16th or so. Hope this helps.

No. Why?

 

[Chakaman]

I started the weathering process on Nysad's outfit. Phase one, still a work in progress. I am still tweaking him, but I am liking him better already.

 

[Spudtrooper]

Damn he looks cool.

 

[Chakaman]

Thanks Tyler. I am going to do some more work on him, pretty happy with him.

I also did some work on Feltipern Trevagg. Loads to do still, but getting there....

 

[Chakaman]

I started Skiff Guard Taym Dren-garen tonight. He was the guard that shot Luke in the hand on Jabba's Sail Barge.

Just have the upper half started. Haven't sorted out his pants or boots yet. Im going to futz the outfit some more, just trying to get the basic look of the guy right now.

 

[enaud]

Damn Dude, I had to take a second & third look. Didn't recognize the vest with the sweet weathering.
