what new body are you using? i have the SSC boba body and it's like you said...sucks....should i put him on a slim clone body? or is that too small?

TT slim with extended ankle pegs as found on cap america or nick fury seems to be the best solution atm, no pics to back it up currently though its all boxed up while I do uni crap

 

[Chakaman]

You've definitely been getting some work done, Chaka!

Dig the wip vest on Garon and that Weequay is just tops!

Thanks X! Im kinda busy this week with work and stuff, so I probably wont get to do anything with Garon until the weekend.

Cheers man! I have a 2 year old myself, so I can relate. My desk is in the basement in our far back room. My son gets down here from time to time but knows its "daddy's room". He loves Star Wars though which is really cool. He knows not to touch anything on my bench, my display shelves however are another matter.

I am also lucky that my wife let me have a room for my stuff. Its nice to have a quiet area to relax, turn on some tunes, drink a few beers and work on customs.

I had some time today and I did a little work on Garon Nas Tal.

I finished painting Garon's head today, I just need to put a coat of gloss on the eyes.

I started working on the outfit a bit. I made a fancy "scarf-like" wrap for the neck and started working on his necklace. I am going to add some things to hang off it. I need to watch ROTJ again and freeze the screen shots he is in.

I need to trim the vest a bit and add some more details to that as well. Coming along though.

Not sure, I think its just a Dragon body. It was just one I had in storage. Its nothing special. I think the slim clone body would be too small, but Im not sure about that.

Don't mean to hijack your thread my friend, but I agree with you on the slim's body size. I think its too small, so I used a slim shoulder truetype with a slim's forearms without any ankle extension. He's now the same height as all my Clone and Stormtroopers, so I think he works.

You Boba is looking great!

Garon is looking SWEET!

 

[Chakaman]

No worries Geri.

Your Fett looks great, what helmet is that?

 

[Brinn 71]

No worries Geri.

THANKS!

Sideshow's, untouched, if you want to believe it! I know the colour is wrong, but when you light it like that, it seems right. Weird! Is that what they were planning?

Interesting....

Besides the color, it looked like you modded the flare of the helmet on the sides. I guess you didnt. In any case, it looks great.

Thanks man!

 

[FLOSI]

Looking good, Geri! Still happy with mine ont he stock body though.

Nice work on the alien, Chris!!

 

[spiderrogue]

i like my BF on the stock body too..dont know why..maybe just cuz it was easier to put together and i didnt have to try and mod another body...lol...

 

[Chakaman]

Thanks Rich!!

Update on Garon.......

Just sort of piecing the outfit together, nothing really finished yet.

Thanks mate. Loads to do still. I appreciate the comment my friend.

Crazy how just changing the eyes makes Bossk into one of the Cantina's Saurin characters. The skin repaint is nice too.

Hey Chaka, whats the best super glue to use in your opinion? Im currently using just this ''loctite'' brand....it aint working as well as i would like.

There are a few different types of Loctite, some work better than others. I use this type....

Hope this helps.

I figured its time to get my custom Snowtroopers out and do a few mods on them. Hopefully I can get a chance to work on them this week. I got a couple of Sideshow's coming and want to be able to use these in the background...

I think I am going to have to get the E-Web cannon down the road.


I also found something to use for Garon's necklace......

 

[spiderrogue]

nice snowtroopers...im getting the sSC one as well(as soon as i come up with an extra 60 bucks by the 20th..epp..last payment lol)...

 

[Chakaman]

Thanks. I figure out of my two customs, I can get one to go with my 2 from Sideshow. I started weathering the boots on the first one. Gonna try not to overdo it. I plan on reworking the mask too.
