Fresh from the Group project at FFURG.

Vintage Chebacca in Snoova Disguise.



I layed off the detail on this one. I was sculpting and adding all these little details, and remebered, that the vintage line didnt have alot of detail.
It's got some rough spots that i would have taken more time to smooth out if i didnt wait till the last week to do this custom.
I also was gonna paint him one shade of brown like vintage chewie, but i remeberd He colored his fur for the disguise, so i gave him a couple washes of darker browns and black.
His Blaster is a cast  and the Vibro Axe is the Scope and Butt of some random rifle i found in my Fodder box.
As for not being able to find a good reference pic, i did the next best thing... I made one.

Here is Snoova Carded.



I googled Machine and engine parts and grabbed a bunch of pictures and made it look like his armor and gadgets.
I even photoshoped a vintage shadows of the empire line for the back of the card.
Since SOTE took place between  Ep 5 & 6, that where i placed the figs. Thats why i'm using the 41 back ESB card.

Thanks guys,

Gregor, Airbrushing wasnt hard, i used to do it back in the late 80's early 90's when hip-hopers were wearing painted jeans and jean jackets.

So since i have a box full of paint from then ( and no they werent dried up!!??)  i figured that would be faster than bleaching, then dying...

SO i was using what i had, verses going and buying stuff to do it.

Meta, Thats what i thought also, that the clothes were worn, so i left some of the creases like that. But now that i think of it, it would be the reverse. The creases stay dark and the rest of the fabric wears out. But it works for me as is.

Phurby, It could happen... some of the best jedi have been turned... :) After i get the sculpt perfect, i may do a Dark version... Who knows.  My wife wants me to make her now.

That biker hubby looks great ripley.

Here is my First 12" custom.

Since i probably wont make any more this scale, i decided to go with my usual Jedi character.
You probably have seen my self customs so you may recognize the color scheme.

The head was a collaboration with Bantha 5.  About 3 years ago(before i started sculpting), i contacted him to see if he would sculpt my head for a 3 3/4 custom i wanted to make. I was tired of using lando heads.
He started it but never finished it. And he did a 12" instead of 3 3/4. So he sent it to me a couple months ago cause he said he'd probably never get around to finishing it so i figured i'd finish it some day.
Well i rushed some face details to get this done for today, but the sculpt is far from finished.

I'll fix it one of these days.

The Body and clothes are from ATOC Mace and the Robe is 12" Ben Kenobi. The Collectors Series line not the Latest one that WONT go on sale at Toy's R Us. I got 8 of these 12"  figs on flee bay for $25 for the lot.



Anyway, Gla-Gar Gowas...



The cLothes gave me the Hardest time. I decided to try and Air-bruch the color insted of dye it. Well i got everything the color i wanted except the sash over the shoulders.


619
Well, I got my figure done (so to speak)  and photographed, but i'm doing a disk clean up and its keeping me from opening  photoshop so i can resize em.

Its been a hour so far and its only half way done.  So i'll probably just post my pics tomorrow.

620
Yeah, i wanted to do an easy figure too.. But it's not turning out like that.

621
Down to the wire.... I have cast my head this morning, and i gotta paint that tonight.
I will post progress pics and finish product all together.
Since i never customized a 12" figure, i never really understod why people switched the body to a "Dragon or BBI" body.... I get it now.
Wish i had one laying around.

Getting the sash on the tunic the right color is the hard part. I got the under tunic and the pants colored to my liking, i cant get the over the shoulder sash right.

Pics tonight, or tomorrow morning.

622
creepy indeed, but cool none the less.

What P said, with one addition.  Washes can be done with light colors to highlight details. So it's not necessarily just to weather.


624
You mean he's not going to be a sith lord?

I mean he may be my first 12" custom and He may be me as a jedi not a sith.

625
I'm still working on one for here too...  I changed my mind on the subject... but i should get it done by friday.


626
Well, Meta its been said, but great looking jedi. Color choice is very nice. I would take chewies suggestion and add some color to it by drybrushing.

TJ, more pics please... The face looks great. Which one did you use for your likeness?

627
PLENTY of time.... ;)

I understand what you are saying chewie, I traded for one as well, a year ago, and while the sculpt and concept are incredible, and his skills are legendary, the figure is small and not bulky enough. Which when put next to other figs takes away from the glory of it.

I still like em though...I'm just to lazy to tackle one of my own, or i would try to pick up on the stuff i mentioned.

Photoshop or PaintShop seem to bee the programs of choice.
They both do the job well.

Man TJ,  you've got stuff all over!

My wife would have a fit if my livingroom was overtaken with SW. Plus i would be worried stuff would get damaged easily or chewed up by my cat, she loves lightsabers.

Grego, you'll only have the spare rooms till you get married and have kids...
Then you gotta move stuff!
