Chakaman's customs, mods and repaints

[LOPIE]

Hey... I didn't even realize that the SSC head was wrong. I'm glad I have the $30 Hasbro version stashed away. A little inspiration from you guys, a bit of elbow grease and I think it'll look great in the collection.

There's gotta be a way to light the Hasbro head. I may look into it.

I was thinking the same thing, if I figure it out I'll post pic of how I did it, but if you do it first you "HAVE TO" tell me how you did it.

It looks like that Sideshow fixed IG88s head, Im glad I kept the exclusive on order.

No custom update, just a shot of Jabbas palace....

[Chakaman]

Thanks mate.

Cool Chakaman, I'm in the process of setting up my own dedicated area to do customs in. Right now I have to box up everything when I'm done and then unpack again when I want to work on stuff. . Maybe your setup will give me some ideas.

I will mate.

Not quite finished with my "dedicated area", I will snap a couple of pics of what it looks like right now...

Here are pics ss it looks right now. I plan on building more small shelves to keep some of the smaller things on. I have like 5 boxes of bits I need to sort out. I need to figure out a way to store them so I can find them easily .

Anyways, hope this may give you some ideas.

Thanks man. Its just clean because Im not done setting it up and havent started working on anything yet.

[Chakaman]

This Ackbar is kicking my arse.......


Anyways, here is where I am at on him. Any comments or advice would be appreciated...

He is about to go on the backburner anyways, I have some new arrivals from Duane coming very, very soon.

 

[feroze13]

Me too!

looks good chris but from some pics of him i've seen the sleeves look more cut off at the shoulder (as in no sleeves or just a hint) but the weirdest part is that it almost looks more like a smock & not a pull over shirt.....like the bust you got it from...........or are you still in tailoring mode?

but either way you go it will look fine.

 

[enaud]

Dewback=Sweetawesomness! I really would like to get one myself.

Chris,Feroze,& Mark-All goes well, your goodies in the post tomorrow.

Yeah Barry, Im still futzing about with the outfit. I come to the realization that its not going to be perfect or anything. I just want a nice looking figure to sit on my shelf until Sideshow does Ackbar. Here are some updated pics..

I must say, for some reason this has been one of the most difficult customs I have worked on.
