These guys look so good in person that these pictures don't speak the thousand words they should.

just curious for those not keeping in glass, what will be the best way to clean dust from Chewie? my 2 pack just showed up and i dont have a detolf yet because i decided to payment plan Kenobi instead of getting one , and i feel like leaving them boxed up will make me nutty .

Do i use a paint brush? or air can? oorrrrr?

Well with the hair it'll probably take a while for it to actually be noticeable (unlike an armored figure like Robo or Iron Man), but I'm sure as with other figures you could just dust him off a bit with a soft brush. At least that's what I like to use on all my collectibles.

I just asked my sister if it bothered her that Chewy didn't get a medal and she said "he just sat there. I don't think I ever saw him shoot anybody."

Decided to lighten the face fur a tad on this guy. I'm in the 'less is more camp' and wanted something closer to ANH look. I just dry-brushed an acrylic paint mix to the face area and then some black into the forehead. Might tweak it a little more but happy with the results View attachment 219925View attachment 219923View attachment 219924View attachment 219922

What is going on here? In the first 3 pics Freddy is in the backgroud. In the last picture he is mysteriously missing.

Thanks! They keep following me around the house as well...



This Chewbacca worth buying 2 of. One for a rainy day! You think HT will be producing a Chewie from ESB??

That looks fantastic!

Trying to think how much color to add to the face. He really has an almost human face - pale face area with darker "hair" on top and "moustache." The face fur is a lot lighter and more reddish than I remember, yet the untouched HT still looks decent.

Beautiful...............this is what I'm striving for with maybe a bit more lighter tones around the snout but leaving his stache.........

Thanks for the great reference pic. Saved.

I was going to go for a RotJ style but that would take some hardcore face futzin'.

Also, notice the lip color. A few people have already done a tweak and it does seem to help too. Seems like it's more a brown purple with just a hint of pink than the way HT did it (more pink/purple,) even though the HT lips are not terrible.

Honestly, I do understand people who are leaving the face as-is - it really looks decent, unless comparing it to screencaps.

We in the same boat brother, less is more! ANH

GREAT job!!!!

 

[LoveMinusZero]

So, to the guys that have altered the face with pastels and acrylics, have you treated in fur at all? Can you still handle the figure's head?
