Chakaman's customs, mods and repaints

[Chakaman]

Thanks guys, I appreciate it.

@BigGuy, I was planning to put him on a Dragon body. I do think the headsculpt is a tad small, but will look fine. It does seem like he had a pretty big head in ROTJ.

 

[big guy]

Ahhhh a Dragon Body eh.

Just curious as he is smaller and wondered if you had considered using a Obitsu "Child" body?

I got one of the slim Obitsu for my Medicom ESB Boba Fett and have to say I like them. Articulation is pretty decent (NOT a slim TT of course but as good as a Dragon easily).

He also pars off next to a SS body pretty well too (Boba is barefoot to so take that into consideration)

For the heights of the Obitsu range

Don`t mean to be telling you what to do Chris, just options for when it comes to the smaller guys.

 

[Chakaman]

No worries, I guess I didnt realize he was shorter/smaller than other characters.

Ill look into this, thanks mate.

 

[big guy]

No problems Chris. Looking at Wookiepedia they say he`s 1.6 meters which is 5.25ft.

 

[Chakaman]

Thanks, I had no idea he was that short.

I guess Im not as big a Star Wars nerd as I thought.

 

[big guy]

HAHAHA and doesn`t mean I`m a nerd for noticing

Saying that I`m getting some of those little version Obitsu to make some Nogri (from the "Heir to the Empire" Trilogy).
The slim one I have is tight, posable, stands really well (You can get them with Magnetic feet too).

I just chopped a buck down

 

[big guy]

That works too LOL

Hey big guy , I'm quite interested in those Obitsu bodies , but the link to the store isn't working . Where do you get them from and what sort of price are they . ( I think the different sizes of the bodies could be very useful ) .

 

[big guy]

TG I had the same problem so tried ebay (just search Obitsu rest of the world) and got the slim one for £20 brand new in packaging and spare hands.
The hand holes took the Medicom Boba Fett hands with NO mods though the neck is where you will have to customize depending on what movement your looking for.

I got Nein Nunb done. I used a Dragon body, just shortened his legs and forearms a bit to make him smaller.

I also started working on Bom Vimdin. Sorry for no pics, my wife took our camera with her on her trip to Texas.

Nein Nunb looks awesome Chris, Can't wait to see the pic of him done (curse women and their trips) LOL

Hey Chaka, after your great Akbar, ever thought on building that Akbar like Jedi Knight to be seen in The Clone Wars Season 4 Trailer?

Thanks. No, not really. I am more of an OT guy. I would also have to track down another Ackbar bust and hack it up. It was worth it to get a 1/6th Ackbzr, but to get a PT Jedi not so much.

 

[Chakaman]

I got my camera back. So here are a few pictures of Nein Nunb that I completed over the weekend.

Here is a shot of him next to Obi-Wan, what do you think about his height? Is it about right?? I can easily make him taller or shorter, Im just not sure what is accurate.

 

[unsung hero]

Looks great! How's the back of the head look?

 

[Chakaman]

Thanks mate, the back of the head is finished. This is one that Duane resculpted the back of the head on. Ill take some pics of it soon.

 

[Chakaman]

I also reworked the boots on my Hoth trooper. I also redid the breathmask to get a cleaner look.

Here is a closeup of the boots.

 

[Chakaman]

I also had to rework my shelves. I made some space for a proper bounty hunter setup. Mr. Bossk just needs to get his head back from the Snow Corp.

I also needed an area for a Mos Eisley/Cantina setup. With all of the customs in the works and everything Duane is going to be cranking out in the coming months, this space is going to fill up fast. Here is what we have so far.....
