lineup looks awesome chris.

 

[Chakaman]

That is superb. Your custom collection is the pinnacle of Star Wars 1:6.

Thanks so much. I appreciate that.

I agree, killer stuff.

Cheers dude.

Yeah, I like to call Chakaman's thread the "Christmas morning thread."

I like this. Hopefully I can do update soon. I am in the process of setting up my room/workstation.


Hopefully Christmas morning will come around more than once a year.

Thanks Bzrry. Yes they do. I remember we talked about doing a proper scale desert skiff a few years ago. With 3d printing tech these days, it is possible. I like the idea of dissecting the Skiff down the middle and mounting it to the wall as a shelf.

now that would be cool having a skiff like for a shelf.

Yea the 3d printing would definitely be the way to go with the more intricate pieces of the skiff. that's the main thing that held me up trying to tackle that years ago. handmaking those rudders would have been a serious challenge all around........sanity especially......
i like the idea of a split skiff but if I'm making a skiff I want the whole dang thing

I was able to FINALLY acquire some HT Rogue One Vader gloves. My kitbash is complete. My Vader no longer needs to hide his hands.

 

[LOPIE]

Looks slick, great looking Vader.

 

[Chakaman]

I was able to pick up the HT Stormtrooper Han head from a friend. It's really nice....



My Han Solos, it's nice to have options...

 

[generalgrevious]

yeah I got one coming as well to see what the hype is about on this sculpt. did you swap out the neck socket or is it just sitting on the neck.

 

[Chakaman]

It's just sitting there right now. I'm going to mod the connector a bit. I'll probably just use some blu-tack to make sure it's snug.

I need to futz and pose all my figures properly, right now I am just unboxing them.

 

[generalgrevious]

and Chris that`s the fun part

 

[Chakaman]

I started working on one corner of my new Star Wars room. I hung a few shelves. Loads more to do, but now I have a place to put a few figures.

 

[generalgrevious]

looks great Chris. you still have lots more to do then? once set up it will look great once again. I saw you got those RO Vader gloves good score I forget what there going for on the after market.

 

[Guer Toshav]

Nice collection. This Garindan is awesome !

 

[firefighteruk]

Superb looking set-up. Love the framed comics too.

 

[matrix69]

Fantastic display chaka

 

[Chakaman]

Cheers guys. I appreciate it.

Yes, I love the Vintage Comics. I still have some more to hang along with some other artwork. I think they really add to the display. I like the colors.

Garindan is a Hasbro re-work. New shirt, boots, gloves and custom made belt. I want to revisit him though and update the pants and boots.

Still loads to do, here is the other side of the room...





I think I am going to run out of shelves. I am going to have to drive down to Kansas City one weekend and visit IKEA.

 

[Chakaman]

A couple more shelves up. As you can see, I need to finish painting.



Placing figures as I unbox them, not sure how I am going to display them yet.

 

[generalgrevious]

oh yeah the hard part is the trim work around the corners and along the celling.

 

[LOPIE]

Great looking stuff, and those shelves are sweet.

I'm not a great fan of ROTJ but after seeing your Jabba's henchmen, i will reconsider this part of the movie...
They are AWESOME !!!
I really love the energy & harshness emanating from them...
