Here is a Bib Fortuna on my Jabba steps...

I am not getting the new Jabba the Hutt. After repainting Bib, I might have a go at repainting the 2007 version.
 
I here you Ed. I am not going to be able to get the new Jabba. Besides the price tag, I clearly don't have the space.

I know, first-world problems. I do miss the display space I had in my old house.
 
no other room in the house to make into a new man cave? do you have a basement at your new house you could re-furnish some day and rebuild those shelves again?

This is our spare room in our basement. I'm not going to re-furnish the basement as it's already finished out the way we like it. Unfortunately no "epic display space" at this house. I am happy with what I have.

I do still have one wall for shelving. I have ordered some more shelves like the ones I already have from IKEA. I hope to have them up in a few weeks.

The one good thing about space limitations is that it helps me stick to my "OT only" rule for 1/6th stuff.
 
yep me to I cant afford to double dip into the new trilogy which I would not have any ways as they suck in my book. and since HT dipping into the prequel trilogy I`ve been there done that when SSC did them. but the OT is enough for me as I don't have the space for all trilogy`s.
 
Work in progress Saurin. Some are more completed than others....

Planning on having Biggs and Wedge join Luke on the shelves in the coming months. Just have to get the helmets finished.

I really like the Gosling head for Wedge. I'm thinking about doing that with my extra X-wing fig. I just don't like the Sideshow Luke X head/face much at all other than with visor down and not too close.

Also not a huge fan of how the rebel logos look on the helmet - the emblems are too small and not quite correctly positioned. I like your repaint. has more of the plum color rather than that weak red SSC used. They fixed the color a bit with the Snowpseeder release.

Yeah, it works well. Both will look good with helmets on. That's how I will display them.

Yeah, I didn't move the rebel logos, I just made them a bit bigger and repainted them. I also removed Sideshow paint with acetone.

I love the look. Did you use stencils or decals for the logos? The weak red they used aside, I also don't like the overspray grey tone to the Sideshow helmet. I like how yours pops as dirty white with the maroon.

Thanks.

I took an ink pen and basically traced around the outside perimeter of the logo. This made it just a bit larger, but much. When I screwed up, I just scratched it out with hobby knife. I then repainted the logos darker red.

Yeah, the overspray Sideshow used came off with acetone. Somewhere in my thread there is some "before and after" shots.
 
I was able to kitbash a 3rd Jedi Luke with parts I had left over.

Sideshow 2019 ROTJ sculpt, 2006 Sideshow Jedi Knight outfit, boots, HT tunic, 2019 Sideshow belt, cloak.

looks great chris. i`m working on an Endor version with the new jedi luke helmeted version. i got two of them some how TA must have made a mistake as i ordered one helmet sculpt and one non-helmet and the results two helmeted.
 
Thanks Paul.

It's hard to tell, but they he is yellowed and dirtied up. I need to paint the hat white too.

I also need to source the brown pouch that goes on the belts.

I just got a Rebel Fleet Trooper, I was really excited until I tried to put a new hand on. I've never had so much trouble trying to put a hand on a figure. seriously, how on earth are you supposed to do it?
