Quoting Hamlet is a sanctionable offence, Para. Only pop-cultural references are acceptable lest you poison our simple ways with a forbidden injection of high-brow. How will we suffer those slings and arrows, I ask you..??

Love my Chewie!!

There are many figures you can pass on. This is not one of them. Also on the list DX T-2 Battle Damage, Jack Sparrow and BD Robocop.

I think the way to get this figure looking his best, or at least when displayed, is to make sure you get the shadows falling into his eye sockets so you cant see his eyes too clearly. In pretty much all the films you rarely see the actors eyes, and when you do its normaly a bit of a shock as there bright blue!

Creighton, very well done(!); please tell us about your technique and the product you used to bring the figure to life.

I agree. Also futzing the goatee to make his chin look longer. Brush down then "wave" the hair from the bottom end up to his neck.

Davejames does it best.

Well, well. After being freaked out by the scar on Han Solo's forehead, and the horrendously tight elbow joints (two sessions of the hair dryer and they're still stiff as a corpse!) for the past couple of days, I finally got around to having a good look at Chewie. And guess what? His top lick sticks out about half a mill, so his "muzzle" is in effect too short. Has anybody else had this? If so is there anyway you can fix it? Thanks in advance.

 

[hokietwo]

burn it with fire.

burn it with fire.

Thanks, but that wasn't quite the sort of advice I was hoping for.

 

[FlyAndFight]

I say you nuke it from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

If you want a serious answer, you may need to post a pic of what you mean.

Also, I don't know what his "top lick" is supposed to be.

What fools these Freaks be.

Damn typo. I meant top lip. The snout of the figure is a half a mill or so away from the top lip. I'l try and upload a picture to show what I mean.

 

[Jmek]

It's a bit difficult to see, but the snout is away from the lips. I don't know if you can futz it down perhaps?

I haven't looked at mine closely enough - is the lip an insert or part of the underlying sculpt?

 

[hokietwo]

ahh, so chewie looks like he has sort of a cleft lip I suppose is what is being described?

 

[Lejuan]

More of a duckface I think.

Whole mouth is an insert, as are the eyes and nose.
