The pants I picked up from a seller in Asia showed up today. I think they are going to work good for my Nikto.

I just need to paint them grey and weather them.

 

[Chakaman]

I painted the pants grey and worked on the boots. I used the recent Hasbro Nikto figure as a model for boots.

I need to weather them up still, but I am getting there.

What pants did you use for Queequeg?

I hope you don't get tired of reading this, but wow that is is looking so awesome.

Nice revisions to Nikto Chris.
Those pants look great...the stitching pattern adds so much-excellent choice. Do you recall what they were originally from?

 

[MANDO]

Nikto is looking awesome! Dig the pants. You guys and your Skiff guards are making me so jealous.

Well, I did my first tests on Hammerhead hand casts yesterday and thought you'd want to see the results.
Only the right hand so far, didn't want to was silicon if I couldn't get it right, the results I'm happy with.

I will make these available and will try to keep the price down so they will come unfinnished and straight form the mold, more or less.
Oh and you will need to sort the pin that holds the wrist peg in place too, though that won't be too much of an issue I wouldn't think

Thought about making a list of potential numbers so anyone with an interest can you let me know via PM with numbers of pairs.
This is still in the trial stage so can't guarentee anything just looking at the potential and how many I'd need to look at making.

Bith hands should follow as well

Begun, the clone wars have

 

[j14]

They look great to me.

PM sent.

Looks good Tworiverz. I see those becoming very useful with the Hammerhead hand shortage.

Thanks man. Almost as good as your cantina aliens.

Hope that helps. There are still a few pairs available.

Thanks Mando, I appreciate it. You should buy a few heads off Enaud and get cracking on them. After seeing your Joe stuff, Im sure your Skiff guards would look awesome.

 

[Chakaman]

Tworiverz, those Hammerhead hands look great. I know I would take a couple from you. Nice work!!

Some progress today on my Nikto skiff guard. I weathered the boots and lowered pants a bit. I added a belt with pouches and made a holster. I gave him a spare Jango Fett blaster since some of the pictures show him with a silver colored blaster. I need to do a belt buckle and start on the shoulder armor.

I think my question got lost, Chaka -- what pants did you use on your Weequay?

Sorry WG, I missed it.

The pants were from Ignite Toys "The Viking". I painted them to get them the color I wanted. I couldnt find any I liked at the time so I decided to make my own.

Thanks man. I like weathering stuff, its almost the best part of doing customs.

I hope to knock this guy out this week. I took a couple days off of work to relax a bit.

Aha! Thank you.

I have the ones that came with the Vivisect set but they are not really baggy enough.
