1/6 Hot Toys - MMS 262 - Star Wars Episode IV - 1/6th scale Chewbacca Collectible Figure

[Deak Starkiller]

Was able to seriously lighten up Chewies face by applying soft layers of Tamiya weathering master Burnt Red, found in set D, its an exact match to the lighter shades of Chewies fur. Its not as uniform light as it looks in the pic. In hand there's a lot of shades of fur. But compared to the almost totally black fur face I received it looks so much better.

Looks solid King! Where can I purchase these Tamiya make-up kits?

My contribution pic of my figure. No Paramore, but here he is nonetheless. lol

Great job! I really like that one.

Great job lightening the hair around the face! Pastels or acrylic paint? Did you also darken the forehead and the nose?

Yep, Chewie straight from the plains of Afrique who bumped his head on a blast door on the way over.

Thanks,i used a damp cotton dud around the eyes to make them a little more visible and a dry brushing of acrylic paints to lighten the face. Black gioss for the nose and a light dry brushing of black to the forehead. My favorite look for chewie are those first scenes in the cantina and on the falcon which is what i was trying to achieve.

He looks beautiful!!

Sweet Mother MacCrae! That's simply amazing. Pastel by any chance?

Wow! Chewie looks like... Chewie!

Did you change something? Looks great, but you've posted this picture like 12 times already. OK, I'm jealous, stop posting it.

*insert 'sweet mother of god' meme here*

Yeah, that's the best looking Chewie I've seen

Superb work!

Congrats, Matrix... You win the forum today wth those shots. Now... What did you do with the eyes, and when will you be doing it with my Chewie's?

Urgh. I have Wookie envy, Matrix.

He's got a little ZZ Top thing going there (he needs some shades,) but that looks great!

My only concern about retouching mine is that "brown roots" dyed look you see at the top of the head because the paint drybrush can only color the very outer layer of fur. I'm worried if I decide to later do a shaggy ROTJ look or even an action pose that requires resetting the head fur, I'd have to redo the paint, and perhaps thereby add too much paint, "matting" the fur.

Trying to think of a way to do it that doesn't restrict him to one look, because it's fun resetting his fur.

Unbelievable you win figure of the year superb !!!
My chewie looks like a dead dog.

Fantastic. You have done a great job around the eyes. Good stuff.

Thanks for the compliments much appreciated

For the eyes just the cotton damp with water to hold down the fur around the eyes? Thank you and it looks damn AWESOME!!!

Yes dampen around the eyes and sides of the nose til you have the look you want. I also mixed a wee drop of hair gel with water to help flatten and give the mustache a better shape.

Here is my temp set up

 

[TaliBane]

^^ Nice display. It's the problem with the gold binders - who's going to see them with all that fur?

Here is my temp set up

Set-up looks great! Thought about doing a similar display when Luke stormtrooper arrives. Chewie looks pretty awesome, not sure if you had to do much futzing.

Maybe cause he's faking it--no binders, no TK-421 belt.

 

[YankeesFanboy]

Very cool, 3phase, I actually like the way Chewie looks there.

 

[3phase]

No binders yet and no futzing. Only temporary till I sort my room out.

 

[Weezer]

I wish matrix69 did a demo on how to highlight the face... That chewie looks perfect!

 

[Wor-Gar]

What? You've been here since 2009... and in all that time all you got was a folding table?
