I thought I'd move this guy to my own thread. He's still a WIP. The body is a cardboard mockup. The final will be built from styrene. I think he's going to need a pet Jawa to keep him company.

Looks good dude.

 

[LOPIE]

Spectacular

I love it!

Those feet are incredible. Looking unreal. I've been anxious for this to be completed.

Hey gang, thanks for the kind words. Things have grinded to a halt with the kids off for summer vacation.

BTW, I found a hasbro 12" IG-88 still in it's box packed up in my stash. Would it be wrong to skip out on the release SS version and just chop shop the hasbro version?

No, go for it!! The Hasbro IG-88 can look good with some work.

I understand "things grinding to a halt". Enjoy the summer.

Hi guys, does anyone have an idea of how tall a 1:6 gonk should be? Are they shorter than jaws/R2 unit?
Thanks

Hi, its been awhile. I've been working on some Jawa's for the past year. This is how far I am. The robes are custom dyed and sewn. They still need to be weathered. The base body may be too small. I did a bad thing and ordered the Hot Toys version, so I'll see how close the bodies are. I'm planning to use two small LEDs for the eyes. I thought I would share some photos.

Impressive start! I have been toying with the idea of making some of my own from scratch. So i will be making a close eye on your progress.

That Jawa looks fantastic! I can't wait to see the completed project. Your tailoring looks professional, amazing work!

 

[Weezer]

Thank you, I can’t take credit for the tailoring. That’s all my mom’s mad skills.

 

[FlyAndFight]

Kudos to your mom, Weezer! She did a wonderful job.

Please let me know if she decides to offer some for sale. I would love to make my own Jawas and use these great cloaks as the basis for them.

 

[D.R.37]

Very cool.

 

[Chakaman]

Very nice start! Going to look great when all of the details are added.

 

[Weezer]

Thanks guys. I took some comparison shots with Hot Toys.

 

[Chakaman]

Looks good!

 

[TaliBane]

Very nice - color looks much better on the robe.

What are you using for the Power droid feet? And that's just the finest conduit for the legs?

 

[Weezer]

For the robes I found a dye recipe online for ANH Jawa robes. It took a lot of trial and error with rit dye to get a colour I was happy with. It always dries lighter than you'd think.

The power droid feet were scratch built out of styrene and the conduit is a scrap peice I found at a construction site. I heated it pushed down and then slightly bent it so it didn't look so uniform. I always though the conduit made the legs look too chunky.
