Chakaman's customs, mods and repaints

[MANDO]

Fantastic collection of scum and villainy. Nice vintage guys too!

I have to agree w/ Duane too that rivets on the Nikto armor really tie it all together. Great stuff!

 

[Chakaman]

Thanks Mando, I appreciate it.

Next up is the Green Nikto guard on the 2nd skiff. Here is a production picture of him....

Here is where I am at so far...

Good eye with the Commando belts - what is great about SW customs is that when making the movies they often reused the same costuming details from one character to the next.

I was researching 21B's command console and realized it has the exact same large housings on the side of it as the carbonite block does - doing a quick cast of my SSC carbo panels and done!

How many "ROTJ" Jabba aliens do you have at this point? I want to see them all.

 

[Chakaman]

They really did re-use alot of props, especially in ROTJ.

Im not sure exactly. I will get them together and take a pic. In the meantime, here are all my ANH Aliens.

Drool.... want.

 

[MANDO]

Everything looks spot-on with the new Nikto! He reminds me of the vintage Nikto Skiff guard w/ the fur skirt. Love the attention to detail you're giving these guys!

 

[Chakaman]

Thanks Kash, Mando.

Here are a few pictures of all my ROTJ aliens. Not pictured are Queequeg, Vedain, Skiffmaster Weequay and Green Nikto as they are being worked on.

Sorry for the blurry pics, the light is s*** in my office at night.

I plan on re-doing Wooof and Nysad when I am finished with whats on my bench.


From left to right....Gamorrean Guard, Yotts Oren, Boba Fett, Lando Calrissian, Taym Dren-garen, Wooof, Sail Barge Weequay, Red Nikto, Kithaba, Nysad, Human Skiff Guard, Ree-Yees and Barada.

Thanks! Lots of work, mess-ups and re-dos in that pic. I am scared to think how many hours I spent and Stella Artois' I drank putting this group together.

I was able to pick up a few of the Endor bandoliers from TA a few years back. You can buy Endor SSC guys really cheap these days. They are actually a good buy when you consider how many parts can be used for various customs.

Amazing work!! Always impressed.

Thanks mate.

 

[spiderrogue]

i actually just got parts in a trade(And some from TA) to make my own ERT a couple of weeks ago...lot better then the factory ones(never liked the heads on any of the 3)...lol

Thanks. I cant wait to see what you come up with. Nobody else has really done any of Jabba's skiff guards. Feroze is the only one who went all out.

 

[Chakaman]

I know a few of you guys are working on Death Star Troopers. After seeing your guys' pics, I am thinking of doing a grey outfit version.

I did these a year or so ago. Just posting these to help you guys out. If you dremmel out the helmet and maybe trim down the head a bit, these can look great.
