Chakaman's customs, mods and repaints

[FLOSI]

Damnit, Chris... I just got Garogg last week and was putting off doing the head lowering mod hoping the cloth mod would suffice, but now I might have to match him to my Gammy and soil up his fur bits.... How do the fur skirts come off?

 

[FLOSI]

Where did you get those Takeel boots, Chris??

 

[Chakaman]

do tell...............

Prototype Fett armor. I have all the bits, I just need to do some homework on the outfit. Your animated Fett got me motivated.

Sorry man. Mortifactor did the same to me. These mods make a world of difference in my opinion.

There are clasps on the side that undo the skirts. Im curious to see how they turn out when they are dry.

Duane sent them to me, I think they are from a Planet of the Apes character.

can't wait to see prototype fett, I got an extra helmet to spray white and gloss just in homage to it

Don't forget the cape is a star wars towel

 

[KashKenobi]

Mort, do you just use spray gloss?

I saw that, pretty funny. I have some ideas for it.

 

[Chakaman]

Small update on Snaggletooth, loads still to do on him..

 

[enaud]

After a quick dunk in watered down black paint....

I really like the clumpy look, now just have to wait for it to dry out.

Bring on the Gammy dingle berries

 

[mortifactor]

Mort, do you just use spray gloss?

I masked the original t-visor on the helm, airbrushed it flat white, then airbrushed tamiya clear gloss, so in a fancy way, yes lol. I knew I could control the gloss if thinned from airbrush rather than a can though, no runs or thick yellow bits! kinda got the vac formed plastic look star wars can have I think

 

[Chakaman]

Some work on Snaggletooth over the weekend. I was able to get the head lowered to where I wanted it. I decided to add some real hair to the top. I glued cotton balls onto the sculpt and then pulled them off. What cotton was left I burned off, pressed down and painted.

I still need to paint the rest of the face and add some detail, but coming along. Sorry for the crap pic.

 

[Chakaman]

Started working on Duros......

 

[mortifactor]

Can't wait for mine now, paint looks spot on. You Americans with your testor's dullcote! it is harmful to europeans so the EU banned it here

 

[FLOSI]

What colors are you using, Chris? Olive Drab with some forrest green mixed in?

That sucks. I spray everything here with the windows open and leave the room for 15-20 minutes. The fumes can get overwhelming if not careful. Its good stuff though, I swear by it.

What colors are you using, Chris? Olive Drab with some forrest green mixed in?

Olive green, blue and grey for the base coat. It was greenish/blue and then I did a wash of mostly grey. I am going for the cantina look not the blue Cad Bane look.

 

[Chakaman]

I worked on his right eye(left in the pics). I am going to do the Duros in the Tatooine gear first and then do the one in the white spacesuit.

 

[FLOSI]

Looking good!
