Very nice indeed on these. Really liking the Red 5.

Cheers mate.

Here is a quick one I did using spare Luke Hoth parts. I might repaint the hat, face sculpt down the road.

Covering up a SS sculpt with the scarf [emoji14]. Good idea [emoji1360]

I've done something similar with the Han.

And wow, Chaka - you are becoming the king of these pilots. Just incredible work. We need an updated roll call pic.

And that Luke Hoth is looking great. What did you use for snow? I finished my Wampa cave Luke a while ago but haven't had the guts to hit it with snow yet. I read that a combo of PVA glue and baking soda looks like snow for 1/6.

Haha! Exactly.

Thanks man. I appreciate it.

Yeah, the Luke sculpt is pretty weak. As far as weathering goes, I just used the Tamiya weathering kit. Like I said, this was a quick custom. I was suprised I even had all the parts for a complete Luke. I will probably go back and add more details. I'd love to see your Luke, for some reason I can't find the pictures.




As far as my pilots go, I will take an updated picture.

That Hoth Luke is awesome! Brings back memories of the Hasbro Hoth Luke with Wampa. Love it!!

I'll take a pic of my Luke but mine was also made of sort of junk - Hasbro pants and boots (modded,) handmade belt etc - because I thought it'd be caked in snow. So it's not much to look at.

And I actually don't hate the SSC Hoth Luke face - certainly much better than the Han, though it looks really bad as a standalone head (yet oddly, I don't hate the non-hatted Hoth Han head, though it's okay at best.)

But Luke does have an odd look and the paint/color is awful - sort of a dark tan-purple. I bought a HT non-BD head to put in the hood but the custom Tauntaun I've been building is taking so long I kinda stopped on the Hoth Luke reboot I did (basically repainted or dyed everything but the pants.)

Saved for ref. Last year I created a dedicated "Chakaman customs" folder just because I was always looking for a Chaka pic I saved and then couldn't even find it in the thread.

Excellent pilots. What a display!

 

[elvis1976]

Those pilots kick ass!!!!

I like everything you create Chris, but that lineup of pilots is extra sweet.

Love your dedication to these guys.

Please do post pictures of your Luke, I would love to see it. I would also like to see your custom Tauntaun.

I'm pretty sure you're a human factory because you churn out awesome work on a consistent basis. My mind is blown!

Rebel Pilots portraits. Nice. Excellent work on all of these. What a collection.

So awesome! I imagine a mission briefing with close up reaction shots.
