CHEWIE's customs updated 06.22.2012

[CHEWIE]

The custom alliance has really let me down lately.  If you want, I can do what I did for Angry Ewok who might be able to eventually host them all here.  I sent him a CD with all of them on it.  Let's PM and discuss if you want.

It really is too bad about your hosting problem. Curto is in way over his head being Admin at the Custom Alliance, FFURG, and that other place. He really should swallow his pride and take some help.

[CHEWIE]

Yep, I have no idea why he won't accept help... seems like anytime someone asks him, he ignores the question... I don't see why it is so hard to answer a simple question.

Anyways, sorry it's been so long since my last update.  The Terror Reborn Photonovel took up a lot of my time, and I've been stressed out like quite a few of you know, and I've had a lot going on otherwise with work and personal stuff.

I have a commission job I'm doing right now for another collector, and I usually don't do commissions.  But I was offered a LOT of loose figures to make these, so I just couldn't pass it up.  Here are some WIP Mygeeto Clones -

Looking good. that first photo looks like they are dancing almost.

I can't wait to see the final products, and whoever gets them is one lucky collector 

Also can you tell me what parts are being used? I actually have an extra carded saga snow dude, and would like to try this out. looks like a fun custom.

[CHEWIE]

Sure, parts being used are the following for each figure -

- ROTS Bacara body, arms and skirt
- SAGA Snowtrooper head
- POTF2 Snowtrooper legs

As you can see, I've pieced most of the parts together and painted the legs on them (I also had to drill a lot into the Snowtrooper's bottom part of the head to get it to fit over the Bacara ball joint neck knob).

Now, the only real problem is that I am glueing the legs in place.  I rarely do that on a figure, but with the action feature, Bacara's hips just don't want to have regular leg pegs.

Nice Mygeeto Clones. 

[Dimetrodon]

Hmm, do you have a reference pic to share too?

This is going to be my first custom in a very very long time, of this scale that is..

[CHEWIE]

I can't wait to see what you come up with Dimetrodon - here's the reference pic I based it off of.  I realize my version isn't 100% accurate though.



 

[CHEWIE]

And here they are completed. I need to take a few pics of them "in action" before they get shipped to their new owner. Each one took several hours of work, so I don't see myself wanting to start doing many more of these guys or any other commissions for a while.  They're damn stressful.   

They look kind of dark in the picture, but I think it's mostly the lighting. They are a dark maroon, but not as dark as they look here.

Also, in all accuracy they may need a little black line connecting the two eye holes, but I don't know for sure.  I kind of like them this way.



 

[crazy about Clones]

Nice Chewie! They all look awesome, but i just never really liked Bacara's arms, o well great customs!

[Phrubruh]

It's fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A!

Can you take a close up picture of one of them?

[CHEWIE]

I can take more closeups.  And it was just brought to my attention that the paint scheme is missing some maroon in certain areas.  So, I get to go back and redo the paint on all four of them.   

I'll repost again after I get them painted more correctly.

 

[Gregorbian]

Looking good CHEWIE 

Did you make the backpacks for them?  I used the Saga Snowtrooper backpack on mine, but I don't think that's accurate (I think it looks more like a smaller version of the Saga Endor Soldier backpack). 

Anyway, I have to agree with Dimetrodon, an "Official CHEWIE" custom would be a great addition to anybody's collection!  Great stuff, I can't wait to see the final pics.

[Famine]

I have one, and it's seeeeexxxxxyyyy. He's fighting the Jedi and Clones along with Count Dooku and Durge in my clone wars diorama shelf.

THey do look great chewie, you should pose them making the YMCA.
I'm in the middle of making one of these, but i went with the clone pilot legs.
But i'm liking your leg choice better. I may have to swap them out!!
