It's Bantha5's kit. The helmet color is more a function of the flash than the paint. In person, you couldn't tell the colors apart. It's a good idea to weather him a little.

Cody is almost done too.

For some reason my wife likes to tell me I'm obsessed with star wars figures when we're in bed and I'm about to fall sleep. This is when she will tell me I'm spending too much on star wars and we are running out of space. It's true we are running out space but I actually spending about on average about $30 a month. She tries to make me promise to never buy any more figures just so I can go to sleep.

She does however like my custom figures and encourages me on their creation. She actually picks up paints and brushes for me but never wants to pick up parts. She's thinks its a better hobby than watching and talking about sports all day.

Since ep3 is over now, I think my collecting will have a large decrease in what I pick up. However, I think customizing will increase. I'll pick up the occasional 'never made before' alien but not the six thousandth Vader. Instead, I'm going to concentrate on EU and never made characters. I think the custom figures are going to start taking over the home office and the official stuff will be packed away.

At least, that's the plan. It may change tomorrow.

 

I think the best idea is to dye the rotj luke cape. It would fit the best with the character. I'd probably not use a ep1 maul head. It's too detailed for vintage stuff. I saw one where someone used a gi joe RoadBlock for a head, painted it black and added little horns. It had a nice vintage feel to it.

Help me Dr. Zaius!

That's very cool kit. Is that originally a Homer?


What's wrong with me.
I think your crazy.
I want a second opinion.
Your also lazy!

Thanks Greg. The pupil-less eyes was Chewie's idea. I was going to leave them alone because the yoda I used had these cool sith eyes. After seeing Chewie's wookiee, it just seemed the natural thing to do.

That's much better than the first version Ryan. I love the dry brushing. Very Chewie-like.

You got to remember that Chewie has a rather large "Gene Simmons"-like tongue. It's so big that he can't get it back in his mouth. That is why he uses the  raspberry smiley. It's also the reason the chicks love him.
