Sideshow 1/6th Tusken Raider

[Darth Mangler]

All these pics made me order one. I was going to limit myself to just Jedi and Sith and clones, but this one is too good to pass up.

Mine arrived today. I'll get my first real look at him and Dx Luke tonight

Well you could just turn him to the dark side. If i can turn santa yoda to the dark side this guy should be easy.

You're going to dirty the cloth up I take it? As it is it looks like he's done some hard desert yards before taking his kit into be drycleaned. The hems on both outer and inner robes need roughing up too, as they'd be dragging on the ground. Looking good so far though, can't say I've got the balls to do it myself.

Thanks. Yea, as I said loads to do still. I am going to dirty him up. I just wanted to get the robes started to see how he looked. I am really having fun with this one, great figure. I cant wait to pick up a couple more.

I started weathering my Tusken Raider today. Im not sure how far/how much Im going to do. I am also re-wrapping the feet. Loads to do still, but here are a few pics. He is still a bit damp from his bath.

Where is Weequay from?

Custom touches are looking real good, folks....

Me...I'm still enjoying this one just the way it is....

Awesome, awesome figure....

I had a chance to work with TR last night and nice figure from SS. The only "issue" would be the size of the body / head. It is displayed in shelf next to Dx Luke and I keep noticing how large the TR head is compared to Luke's

Awesome, awesome figure....

That's a great shot, and I commend you on not having him playing guitar.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Awesome, awesome figure....

Get outside, man. Please. Is it still mucky where you are?

I wish I had a good camera. I have multiple ridiculously awesome natural environments available to me.

Yeah, I wish I had some cool places outside to shoot. This guy would look awesome in "the wild"..

Alot of the customs look great, but personally, I dont think I could bring myself to tear holes in the robe, the furthest I might be willing to go would be water treatment.

Honestly though, I am very happy with the way he is out of the box. All I felt mine neeed was a little tweaking of the robes.

Hats off to those who are brave enough to permanently alter a $100+ figure.

It's not as though these guys are hopping straight into a custom weather job on a MISB figure without first having tried their hand on other stuff. Once you know how to rough up fabric with sandpaper and have done some water treatment and colouring, it wouldn't be hard to go to town on this figure.

I'm happy with this figure out of the box too, but I am tempted to pick up the robes from Toy Anxiety or some place and try these things out. Like you my balls are not yet substantial enough to mess around with the one example I have.

I will...but right now, it's rainy, slick and "mucky"...and snow is due up my way next week. Not exactly the kind of "outdoors" this Raider calls for...

Hoever, when the Snowtrooper arrives, I'm pretty sure I'll be ready for that....

 

[devilof76]

I can't wait to play with Hoth figures in the snow.

Missed your post, excellent weathering Chak!

Lots of moths on Tatooine

Don't have one ... yet. But I agree with you. The ones I've seen look just fine out-of-the-box.

It would appear so wouldnt it? Thanks King!!

I remember seeing Obi-Wan's robe in ANH with holes in it also. It will look better once I dirty him, fray the ends a bit more and finish weathering the seams.

I used a hobby knife, sandpaper and a small stone with rough edges to weather the robe. Im going to use pastels to add color and wash of acrylics to dirty him up. So far, lots of fun to work on.

Does anyone have screen captures of their outfit actually torn? Looks great, but not sure I recall seeing them that tattered in the movie!

They werent actually torn in the movies. I am just going with what I like. I picked up an extra robe for $8 in case I dont like it.
