Dang, I was hoping there would be a couple more pictures in this thread. I still love these though. The more I look at these, the more I think you should just have Owen build your house. Then you he can make himself a little sweatshop in the basement where he can continuosly pump out custom stuff for you. :D :-* :P

Some great stuff there, CHEWIE.

I really like the way that Stormie is posed where's he's getting blasted by Luke and Han.  Can't beat articulation, can you?   ;)

Those are Ultrama stands, aren't they?  I don't think I realized how big they are - the Shuttle actually fits on one.  Very cool.

I can not remember what the official name for them but those custom clones with the cloaks are sweet!

Sith Lord Chaos - ok, here's some more pics of my collection.   Not everything, but a nice chunk of it.  :)

Jesse Vader - Yep, I really like the Ultarama stands.  They make up for a lot of Hasbro's playset letdowns.

Darth Broem - Those are Faie customs, made by Owen D.

Ok here's some more pics.  I need to start making some backdrops for more of these -

I commented more in your other thread. I'm really impressed. You've got some great mini-dios. I really like the Tusken scene, and I really like your armies. How big are they?

WOW!!! *drool*  that is one awesome collection you have there Chewie.  Can I have it??  How long did it take you to collect all that? 

Title: Re: CHEWIE's COLLECTION
Post by: Darth_Anton on September 10, 2005, 12:38 PM

Wow, wow, wow! I've tried to imagine what your other stuff was like, but it's more than I can imagine. Simply impressive. I take it you have a dedicated room in the house?

Chewie,

Your collection is amazing, not for size, but for how you display. You have done what I have determine is what I am doing for both my Sw and LOTR figures: building some great dia's to display the figures in related to the scene(s) they are in.  I loved your customs too! Have to mention being an opener, this shows what can be done with opened figures. Not that my opinion really matters, but OUTSTANDING job! As always you rock!

First, Is that Imperial/Repubic outpost thing a already made playset or a custom? And second, thats quite a large collection of OT Imperials compared to the 6 OT Imperial I have.  :P Oh well, there's always Saga 2!

Title: Re: CHEWIE's COLLECTION
Post by: CHEWIE on September 25, 2005, 08:59 PM

The playset was made by an excellent customizer named Owen D - he has his own site www.owenscustoms.com and he sometimes makes custom playsets and figures for collectors at very fair prices.

And yeah, I have a dedicated room in the house.  My wife is very good to me, thank God.   ;)

Man, I love that flying dinosaur that the Kamino cloner is flying on.  I thought about buying one from you know who!

I absolutely love the way you have everything displayed - wish I had the time and room to do something like that, my poster take up too much wall space.

Post by: CommanderKorbra on March 20, 2006, 11:02 AM

WOW Chewie that's a ton of stuff you've got. When did I miss the custom Faie and clone engineer? The one in the first pic. They look awesome. Anyways, you sure have an imperial army built up ;D

Eck... Just took time to re-read one of your posts and you said they were made by Owen. His site looks cool.

Title: Re: CHEWIE's COLLECTION
Post by: CHEWIE on March 20, 2006, 01:11 PM

Thanks Korba.  Yes, Owen made those and he has a fantastic site.

It's funny, several of these dioramas look quite a bit different now.  I guess I need to update with new pics soon.   :)

If you don't mind a little drive you can pick things up in person.  ;)

awsome collection love the custom commander keller i think it was. By the way would you be able to sell or make me that commadnder keller? (http://i6.tinypic.com/16kdkwn.jpg)

Title: Re: CHEWIE's COLLECTION
Post by: CommanderKorbra on July 6, 2006, 02:23 PM

I think almost every post said something about that figure, lol. And every time Chewie has responded that Owen made it. :P

Post by: CHEWIE on January 14, 2009, 02:44 PM

Since I had my basement finished about 2 years ago, I moved my collection down there.

As before, this is pretty much all in a diorama format.  I need to try and get some more pics up, as this doesn't show all the shelves.  I'll probably need to be able to move some furniture around to be able to step far enough back to get pics of everthing.

Nice displays, very interested to see the rest of it!  Do you have the entire basement to display your collection or just part of it?  I'm envious (coming from someone who once had a hobby room but no more).

Title: Re: CHEWIE's COLLECTION
Post by: CHEWIE on January 14, 2009, 05:22 PM

Yeah, 1/2 of the basement is finished... all that's in there are 7 heavy duty shelving units from Lowes, a couch, coffee table, TV and XBOX 360... so it's my little escape.  I just need a beer fridge and I'll be good to go...  :P

Will try and get a few more pics taken in the next week or so.

Looks nice Chewie...can't wait to see some more, closer up, pictures of your displays.

And a new chapter in the photo novel too!   :D

CHEWIE, I used to like you, but now I think you suck. Only two pictures? Why the hell do you need to tease us? I cannot wait to see some better photos. Your displays look great. Hurry up and get some more pics!
