Chakaman's customs, mods and repaints

That turned out great.and I concur with the others about the perfect head sculpt.

Great choice of sculpt, adds a lot of weight to the figures appearance... battle worn and been through some s**t
Amazing job

Agreed on that sculpt use. I always love how realistic your customs look!

Red Leader standing by....

I am finally putting to use my last Red 5 Luke. Looking forward to this one. Its been a while since I have worked on anything.

 

[D.R.37]

Nice… looking forward to seeing the helmet come together.

 

[The_Darkness_Predator]

Looking forward to it.

Absolutely fantastic work! Thanks for sharing and love the progress updates!

Can't wait to see this one finished. I think you used the Antilles headsculpt for Gold Leader? And is that Bad Mother Gold Leader decal set a custom job you had him make up, or does he just sell those? I also wanted to try to get a "Dak" style helmet with the simple blue anchor logos and also a maroon-plum colored set of anchors for the ESB Luke helmet (in decal sets they always appear to be too straight-red, also like the Sideshow helmet is). Maybe he could make those.

Thanks James! I appreciate it.

Thanks Duncan.

I never did do a Gold Leader, I did Blue Leader. I used a Hot Toys Commissioner Gordon sculpt for him.

Yes, this is a Red Leader decal set from Bad Mother. I asked him months ago to do this set, but not sure if he just did it or because I requested it specifically. Red Leader is ready to join my ranks. I also need to get my Biggs Darklighter reworked.

Yes, a Dak would be awesome. Too bad these pilots are getting hard to find. When HT ESB Luke gets released, I am hoping I will be able to get some parts. I may have to buy a second Luke to mod into Dak or Zev.

Sorry, meant red leader.

I'm considering turning my Sideshow Luke Snowspeeder into Dak. I made a custom Dagobah-landing Luke (out of parts) that I'll be keeping as-is. And yeah hopefully there are a decent number of part-outs on the HT snowspeeder Luke when it arrives but these figs are becoming so expensive the parts - if you can get them - are a bit prohibitively expensive themselves.

I have an extra Luke X-wing that I bought loose and pretty cheap that I'm not sure who to turn into - maybe red leader as I like the helmet and I have an extra Capt Antilles head (I thought you were the one who gave me that idea, but maybe not.)

I still love how your Wedge came out (I seem to recall using the Ryan Gosling head,) so might be a good one to stand beside my main Luke X instead of red leader, not sure.

That blue leader is just superb though.

 

[D.R.37]

Excellent pilots, Chris!
I never tire of seeing them and your Jabba goon squad. As mentioned Blue Leader is so well done. Great sculpt choice. Very unique and he just stands out. Probably since we’re not used to seeing the blue flight suits?
And damn those TFA Solo gloves! They evade me every time he gets parted out!

Thanks Paul. I agree, the blue suit looks so good.

Sorry you keep missing out on the Solo gloves. I missed them a couple times myself before I scored a set.

 

[Chakaman]

I applied the insignia decals. I am pretty happy. They were hard to set even/straight. I need to let them set for a few hours before I add paint/weathering to this section.
