Chakaman's customs, mods and repaints

[KashKenobi]

Holy hell man! Great idea for the robe. Those sandy bastards could never keep a clean set of clothes. Brilliant!

 

[Chakaman]

Thanks guys!! I used sandpaper, a hobby knife and a piece of concrete to weather the robes.

When he drys, I will add some pastels to give it a dirty look.

Here is a kitbash I am working on using the Hot Toys Bespin Luke. repainted Tomy helmet, handmade flight vest, the rest is Hasbro stuff. Here is where I am at so far...

 

[Dorgmal Snow]

[Brinn 71]

looks great chris...........are you removing the hair piece for the helmet or did you hollow it out to fit?

 

[Chakaman]

Thanks guys!!

Thanks Barry. I took the hair piece off. I split the Tomy helmet down the middle and just re-attached it around the head. This way I can change him back and forth into his Bespin outfit and not damage the headsculpt in any way.

Got my casted Duros hands from Peter(Tworiverz), thanks mate!

They are really well done. I gave them a quick paint job and slapped them on...

I will do some touchups, but wanted to get a feel of how they would look.

I am very pleased. thanks again Peter!

A few more pics of X-Wing Luke, he is coming along...

 

[Dorgmal Snow]

AHHH Chris he looks amazing... i cant wait to get one of those heads... but they are going for SILLY money at the moment

 

[The_Darkness_Predator]

Duros and Luke (and everything else) look AWESOME!

My resin Duros hands should arrive soon also.

Yep, the Hot Toys Luke heads are expensive right now. It might be better to buy a complete set and sell the unneeded parts.

Thanks guys. Yes, the Luke stuff is expensive. I too have thought about buying another set, keep the heads and sell everything else. I am also thinking of selling the Vader/Luke head to buy a another reg. Luke Headsculpt.

Here is Myo, gave him a repaint today....

you never seize to amaze me....

Chris, I've not seen the hands painted up till now, they don't look half bad mate, better than I expected.
How is the articulation on the wrist, did you have any bother with them ?

Dorg, maybe if we whisper sweet nothings in Chris's ear he might just lend us that head to make a mold of, now that would be cool..... nudge nudge wink wink Chris

The articulation in the hands is good. I didnt have any issues putting them together. You did a good job on these mate, thanks again.

Not sure about casting the Luke head, but who knows......

Its been a while since I have had any time to work on anything. I have started upgrading/reworking Wooof.

 

[Magpie 7]

Thanks man!

These are the "before" pics of Wooof, I am totally redoing him.

 

[KashKenobi]

Yo Chris! The vest for Woof is tight! That worn look of the leather is so right on. You and DP reminded me that I have to put twine on his helmet! Looking goood!!!
