Thanks guys.
I used a sand color pastel. I am not sure what color its called. It was from an older set that I have had for a few years.
I am hoping to put the finishing touches on him this weekend.

Got my 2 pack in yesterday. Couldn't open it until late last night. Right relaxed hand was broken off the peg inside the box and the box was damaged. Gotta contact sideshow but my pics are too large to send!

My box was crushed top left corner. Looked like it was stepped on. Final product was fine. Should I contact Sideshow?

As long as the box is functional and no big rips I wouldn't worry about it.

I hate to have to do this to you, DaveJames, but given your last post, I'm required to site the forum bylaws with regard to your most recent forum activity:
When in the course of 1/6 scale high-end figure collecting/customizing, it becomes apparent that a member in good standing with the forum has come up with a Functional Utilitarian Technique of Zenithal awesomeness (FUTZ), of such impact and importance that it cannot go ignored, it becomes incumbent upon said member to FULLY and COMPLETELY share and disclose in a step by step manner precisely how a result was achieved.
We are now engaged in a great civil challenge testing whether one collector, or any collector can perform a futz on a Chewie figure (so lack-luster upon initial presentation as to cause even great collectors to “pass”) that can equal the splendor of the DaveJames achievement.
So with the power vested in our community by incomparable DarkLoad Dave, We have little choice but to ask, and require, board member extraordinaire, DaveJames to “make with the info, capisce??”

Haha, maybe I should have HT cut me in on the profits for some of those Chewie's I'm helping to sell on here.

Are you able to put together a short video on how you did this? It's beyond amazing mate. Nicely done!Thanks guys.

I just absolutely love this guy. Even though I've got other things I need to work on, all I really want to do is find new ways to pose and futz Chewie.

Wonderful photographs
Chewbacca is so fluffy 
I want to hug him
Um, I plead the fifth?
Seriously though, there's not much more to it that I've already explained before. It just comes down to loosening and softening up the hair, looking at photos of Chewie to get the basic shape of the head and the flow of the hair right, and then adding a few highlights with pastel. And the other thing I tried to do was push the hair of the brow down a bit to remove that surprised look he comes with and make him look a bit more serious.
I think the biggest problem is that the hair just starts out way too tight on the top and sides of his head, which distorts the whole face. Even for his ANH look, I think you need to puff out all that hair a bit first and just generally make the head a bit bigger (before combing it straight back again).
Of course like I said before, it probably helps that I'm going for more of a messier ROTJ look, which is a whole lot easier to achieve and create a good likeness with than the ANH look.
Other than that... I got nothin.
I would love to, but that would mean taking him back to the beginning and starting over, and there's just no way I want to mess up the look I have now.

Haha, was wondering when you'd finally break! Last couple posts of yours, it seemed you were trying to talk yourself out of it. Do it, Chewblaca! Order! Then your journey to the dark side will be complete!
