Amazing!!!
Beautiful.
Love the historical journey photos. That "journey" is one of my favorite parts of this hobby. The continual striving for the best we can make it.
If I may ask, how did you transform the leather from original to today? I have the original Duane/Enaud outfit and sculpt as well. Was planning on some sanding on the leather to thin it out, then color transformation with acrylics, then weathering with acrylics and powders. Am I on the right track?

Thanks guys!
Yes, if you can afford it always get the highest detail possible.
I was able to finish painting up my Wooof sculpt.

You bet Dennis!
I am probably going to sculpt a base skull cap for Vedain and then build the rest of the headgear on that. I am going to let this part set and paint it up to see what it looks like. If looks ok, I will do the rest. I am not sure. I am still mulling over options.

Looking great here! Is this my head sculpt? And if so...can I steal your pics?
That looks awesome so far!
I?m having the same issues with my Nikto (I?m making Lathe the blue clothed one). I sculpted a skull cap and it looked awful, so back to the drawing board on that one. It seems like the skull cap is made of a leather but I can?t think of a good option to replicate the skull caps in 1/6.
Thanks guys. I think the sculpting approach will work. I am sure it will look better cleaned up, painted and with leather/cloth properly assembled.
Its a start.
Chakaman, as per usual your Jabba goons are amazing. Ace's sculpts and really nice. They have a natural sneer and look like they're up to no good. Awesome stuff. And a cap on Vedain is a really good idea! Woof looks great! Was his outfit a Enaud kit?
Since my Nikto (Lathe) headpiece and chest piece are giving me trouble- I had an idea! I haven't tried it yet, but definitely want to take a stab at it:
Either take a piece of metal or sculpt the appropriate shape. Then stretch/glue thin leather or fabric over for the a possible uniform look/texture, hiding the "seams" on the under side of the piece of gear. That sounds really simple in wording lol but the idea came to me when trying to think of what to do about Tessek's purple velvet gauntlets. I'm definitely going to try it for the gauntlets and I think it could look great and give a good manufactured look. Figured I'd spread the idea since it could apply to our Niktos!
As always, love your work!
You or probably more importantly Hot Toys should hire this guy !
Doesn't look hard at all !!!
