Chakaman's customs, mods and repaints

[TaliBane]

nice work chris. im working on my skiff guards and taking notes

You're not the only one!

 

[Chakaman]

Cheers guys.

Well, my package arrived from Duane today. All I can say is.......wow. This stuff is even better in hand. The craftsmanship is so precise.

So here is a look at my next three Skiffguards...."Red Kenner Nikto", "Vizam" and "Sail Barge Weequay". Aside from Vizam's outfit, I had most of the other two outfits done. Duane's tunics are going to put them over the top. And the Vizam outfit, damn its awesome. I cannot wait to paint and weather it up.



Duane thanks again dude, I really appreciate it. Without you, none of this awesomeness would be possible.

 

[Hewer]

I agree Duane's work is awesome. Love your skiff guards

Thanks mate. Yes, Duane's stuff is the business.

I did some paintwork on Vizam's outfit today. Quick mock up...

 

[Spudtrooper]

Beautiful work.

 

[Chakaman]

Thanks dude. I'm looking forward to the day where I can take a finished, group shot of all of my skiff guards.

 

[enaud]

He's coming together nicely. Can't wait to see the final weathering of that outfit.

 

[Chakaman]

Thanks Duane.

Some more work done on Vizam today. I painted the undershirt a mix of purple, blue and black. It always looked purplish to me in the movie and in stills. I did his hands, HT Predator hands repainted. I weathered up the vest a bit more and did some more paintwork on it. I also built a belt and made pouches. The pouches are SSC Endor Soldier pouches cut down to be shorter/smaller and repainted. I also touched up the paintwork on the headsculpt. Next up is headgear.

Did you dremel the top of the kenner blue nikto head for his headgear? I've got almost all the pieces I need.

I did a little bit . I then scratch build the headgear top of it. I took about as much off the blue Nikto sculpt as you see pictured above on Vizam.

The custom Jawas are looking a heck of a lot better now too, huh? Not only do you NOT have to spend the scratch, yours are much better looking.

Thanks. Yeah no kidding. I still have another one to put together. I will be passing on the SSC Jawas for sure, might pick up some of the gear once it's parted out.

yeah I agree. I still have those jawas that solo bones made for me they will do for me. I might get the gear like you said when they hit

 

[Chakaman]

Yeah, I am pretty happy with mine.

 

[Chakaman]

I was able to do some work on Vizam's headgear tonight. I still need to do some touchups, but I think its there.

 

[enaud]

Vizam looks absolutely sweet Chris! He's turning out very nice all weathered up.
We might have to look into sorting out a cannon for him

 

[Natedog]

I was just thinking the same thing about the canon! Very nice Chris!

 

[Spudtrooper]

Freaking insane dude.
